We went on this tour as a double date and it was a blast! The background/history was very interesting, the food was delicious and our tour guide was great! Kurt was enthusiastic, hysterical and very informative! As great as Chelsea Market is, I don't think that the tour would have been as much fun without our witty, amusing tour guide!
I would highly recommend the tour to others looking for something different to do, even if you are familiar with the area... If you can arrange to have Kurt as a guide, you are sure to have a great time!!! |

Myself and my boyfriend thoroughly enjoyed this tour. There was plenty of information given on an area which I knew nothing about previously, but it was delivered in a fun and memorable way by our guide (I think his name was Dwayne but I'm terrible at names!). The food was fantastic and we had plenty to eat, so much so that lunch wasn't necessary. I would recommend this tour to all of my friends and in fact will look up Zerve for more trips. I'm going to put it on trip advisor also. Keep up the good work. Celine Tracey. |

My husband and I were on vacation in New York . The tour was great! Curt (I hope I have his name spelled correctly) was entertaining and informative. The different foods we sampled were outstanding, especially the chowders at The Lobster Place.
We certainly enjoyed learning the history of Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking District. It was good to learn that particular area of New York was going through a restoration and renovation process. It is a part of New York that deserves to be saved. Curt's knowledge of the area helped make the tour that more interesting.
I am a regular viewer of programs of the Food Network. That is how I learned about the tour at Chelsea Market. My husband and I recommend this tour to anyone who enjoys learning about food and its history. If we get the opportunity to return to New York, we will visit Chelsea Market again. |

Food Samples were Excellent

The overall food tour was very good. Our instructor was very knowledgable and informative. I was traveling with my 70 year old mother would enjoyed the tour, however she would recommend for future tours the pace slows down, just a bit; she was exhausted after the first couple of hours.
It would be my suggestion that the tour guide allows time for rest during each tasting point or allow a 15 minute break after the first couple of hours. We also noticed a couple other people (eagerly) were also winded and eventually grab a cab and left before the tour was over.
Again the attractions and the food was great. |

This was our second NY Food Tour. (Having experienced our first tour of Greenwich Village in 2005). To our pleasant surprise, we had thesame tour guide as our first, Kirk! He is absolutely awesome. With the perfect combination of humor, knowledge and enjoyment, he makes the food tour experience a MUST! Hope to be back again for another tour next year. Hope to see you again, Kirk! Thanks for a great afternoon! |
