Chelsea Market/Meatpacking Dist Food Tasting Tour

Tour guide was Cindy. She did a great job!! I have taken the Greenwich Tour in the past. This was just as good. Next time we come to NY, I would like to take your SOHO tour. It is a great way to spend three hours in the afternoon. I would highly recommend it to anybody. It is an excellent way to get to know NY on a more intimate basis.

We all enjoyed our tour very much and liked our guide. I would have been interested in tasting what the restaurants had to offer in some small form. All tastings were in the market and while quite nice, I did not get a sense of what the restaurants in the meat packing district had to offer.

I go to New York City every year and I loved this tour. It was different from the typical tourist stuff and I learned a lot about another part of the city. The food was great and I bought several of the items right in Chelsea market.

We had a terrific guide that shared lots of history about the markeplace as well as the surrounding area. I learned so much about New York, then and now. If I had gone to the marketplace myself, I would have never appreciated the setting and the neighborhood in the same way. The tastings were an extra treat...best chocolate croissants I've ever eaten.

Having already been on your Greenwich Village Tour, I knew that my friends and I would not be disappointed at the Chelsea Market / Meatpacking District Tour. Our tour guide Curt was so informative and we had so much fun with him. The food samples were so plentiful and also entirely delicious. These tours are a wonderful concept and I can't wait to try another one!!!!

Curt was a great guide, very personable and extremely informative. We all Loved the croissants, and lobster bisque, seafood chowder, and Italian sampling. We had a good sampling of other foods as well. Did not leave the tour hungry. We stopped at several spots of interest for touristy sightseeing. Very enjoyable 3 hours!

My wife and I really enjoyed the tour. We plan to take some of your other food tours on our next visit to NYC. The tour guide (Kurt) was enthsiastic and very knowledgable. We have two (constructive we hope) criticisms: 1) We would have appreciated earlier start times. Our tour started at 11:00AM and we had tickets to a broadway show at 2:00. Kurt was very helpful telling us when to leave and where to catch a cab (we made the show on time). But had the tour started at 10:30, or even 10, we would not have had to cut the end of the tour. As many NYC visitors do attend afternoon shows, this would be a plus. 2) The salt tasting, was not of any particular interest to us - you could easilyskip that one.

Our guide (Kurt) was unbelievably knowledgeable, witty, and entertaining! He was so enthusiastic, he even made an effort to learn our names. The food was out of this world.

We had never been to Chelsea, and loved this introduction to Chelsea Market and the surrounding area. The tasting tour of the Market far exceeded our expectations. Curt absolutely exceeded our expectations as our tour director. His knowledge of the area, his humor, and his attention to detail made this an experience that we would highly recommend to others. The "tastings" were very good in flavors, amounts, and variety. After the tour we went back to the market to buy some of the foods we had sampled (I wish this market was in our area), and to wander through the rest of the shops. As we toured the neighborhood around the market, we developed a list of "must try" restaurants for our next trip to New York. This tour is a great way to get to know one specific area in New York. We look forward to trying new areas, via the tours, during future visits.

The Chelsea Market culinary food tour was a blast! Our guide, Kurt, was not only a wealth of information about the area and about food in general, but he was hilarious and entertaining as well! The food tastings along the tour were all so different but equally wonderful! This three-hour tour was truly a highlight of our vacation, and we will definitely sign up for the Greenwich Village tour the next time we're in The Big Apple. Thanks for a lot of fun, Kurt. Good luck on Food TV!
