Our tour guide (Curt) was great...very funny and very informative. The tour was about 3 hrs long and we didn't need to eat a meal afterwards. Plus, the food tastings were planned out like a meal (soup first, then appetizers, etc). My wife is allergic to walnuts and one of the other tour members was a vegetarian, so Curt went out of his way to make sure that they each had something that fit their dietary requirements. This was a great way to explore Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking District. We loved it and highly reccomend it! Can't wait for our next trip to Manhattan to do one of the other tasting tours in other parts of the city! |

This was my husband's first walking food tour and my second (I did the Greenwich Village one a few years ago). Our tour guide, Kirt, was very funny and kept things interesting. My husband was worried he wouldn't get enought to eat, but in the end, he said he wasn't stuffed, just adequately full. I remember being STUFFED at the Greenwich one, but this was good--not too much or too little. And we are both pretty big eaters, I'm afraid. As it was mostly indoors, this is a great option during the winter months |

We had a great time. I live locally and my friends were from out of town. We all had a wonderful time learning about the area and tasting the great food. I will definitely bring groups again on a tour like this and bring them to the area to explore the places I learned about while on the tour. Kurt the guide was full of information and very entertaining. |

The first of many trips to the Market |

The tour provided a taste of history as well as a taste of a number of diverse foods. The building housing the Chelsea Market is is a tour subject unto itself. The food samplings were delicious and varied, but not overwhelming. We will now visit the Market on every future visit to Manhattan. |

Informative, Educational, Fantastic! |

Wonderful tour guide who educated the group on the building and its history. Introduced the group to wonderful selections of food from the best in New York.
The information the tour guide passed on to each of us added to our good eating habits and introduced the group to different teas.
It was a tour that did not disappoint me!!
Fantastic!!!! |

We had another great experience! This was our 3rd group tour and we love them. If you offered more tours, we'd go more often! It's a great way to sample new foods and explore new areas. A great suggestion for a group of people. |

We enjoyed the Chelsea Market and all of its history. The tasting of all the wonderful foods is a treat and look forward to going back and shopping there. The outside sites are just okay. I recommend that you do not take the visitors to NYC that are on the tour to a place called Hogs and Heifers. They were rude and vulgar when the food tour entered their establishment. |

Very interesting, tasty, and fun! |

There were 8 in our group from Texas. We thought our guide was wonderful. I believe his name was Darrell. Each place we visited was very interesting and the food samples were delicious. The people in the shops were very friendly and helpful. We have already told our other friends who were on the trip with us that they should do the food tour next time they are in NYC. We did not take the time to go back to the market after the tour, but I plan to go back there to just shop and eat on another trip to the city. Thanks so much for making this available. |
