Chelsea Market/Meatpacking Dist Food Tasting Tour

Kurt our guide is great - friendly, enthusiastic, patience, informative (also historically attuned), passion for foods and cooking A fantastic introduction to the Meatpacking district - the focal point being the Chelsea Market. A peep into some of the surrounding post restaurants is a brilliant part of the programme. We even sneaked into the Hog & Heifer bar! :-) I ate my way to the end of the tour - a bit here and a bit there .... yummmmmm. chowders, mortadella, olives, pesto, cookies, coffee diary milk ... and those divine cupcakes!

I would highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. As a visitor to NYC, we would have never discovered the Chelsea market on our own! The tour kept us interested for the entire 3 hours and the food was delicious. I would highly recommend this tour as well as the Greenwich Village tour to anyone visiting the city or new to the area.

My friend and I really enjoyed the Chelsea Market tour. It is not something that we would have done on our own, if we hadn't found it on the internet. I would recommend the tour, because you get to taste things that normally you wouldn't find in a normal setting.

This is our second food tour, the first being the food tour of the Village. Both were exceptionally good. We recommend these tours to anyone who will listen. Our guide for the Chelsea tour was terrific. We felt he went out of his way to make the experience the best it could be. We want to go again!!

My wife and I enjoyed the Chelsea Market tour very much. The tour guide was excellent mixing humor with information. The food was great and the market was fantastic. Highly recommend the tour to anyone who wants an overview of the area and the market.

I highly recommend the Chelsea Market tour. Our guide was terrific, and very articulate. The tastings were wonderful and the sights and sounds of the market were fun. I have told friends and family about the tour, and everyone wants to go! Thanks for a great slice of NYC!

We had no idea what to expect from this tour,but had taken the Greenwich VIllage tour last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. This tour was at least as good, and maybe even a little better. All of the tastings were in the Chelsea Market, which is an experience in and of itself- unique design and wonderful granite sculpture everywhere. The portions were more generous than the Greenwich Village tour - you might consider eating a very light breakfast- you will be noshing non-stop for the first part of the tour, which is inside the market. Kurt, our fabulously funny and engaging guide, also took us to a private bed and breakfast and a secret hideaway at the penthouse level of a local hotel. He recommended lots of restaurants and was, all in all, a delight to be with for three hours. Don't miss this tour!

Our tour guide, Kurt, really made the tour. He was extremely entertaining and informative as well. The food was awesome!

Can't say enough nice things about our tour guide Kurt. Not only was he quite knowledgeable about Chelsea Market but just as knowledgeable about the meat packing district and surrounding neighborhoods. We had a blast! Kurt was remarkable in that he remembered everyone's name and was personable to each member of our tour group. Thank goodness for Kurt's great personality and charm, he invited everyone to interact with each other and welcomed everyone's opinion as we ate our way through most of the stops along the way. Chelsea Market is a cool, vibrant hub of New York. I would highly recommend this great tour and don't let the 3 hours fool you...it's over before you know it! Take all your friends when visiting this city. Lorraine Alt-Delray Beach, FL

This was a gift from our daughter and we did not know what to expect... BUT as soon as we met Curt we knew this was going to be fun. The tour was great ... food great ... information great .... BUT Curt was fabulous!!! We really enjoyed the format, etc of this tour. Loved seeing some of the restaurants in the area too. In fact we came back Sat and ate at two of them...I would recommend this tour to all... We sure will tell our friends visiting the city that this is a no to be missed event.
