Chelsea Market/Meatpacking Dist Food Tasting Tour

Although one of our group members hesitated at the idea of a "Walking Tour", he enthusiastically participated and found the experience very rewarding. We found that there were many places to sit and rest, while enjoying the tastings from the best markets in town. We were all fascinated by the history of the market, and were thoroughly entertained by our tour guide, Curt. We found him to be very knowlegable of the area, and were very happy to see that he was our guide for the Greenwich Village tour later in the week, which was equally as enjoyable. Our group highly recommends this tour to those who want to find out about the history of these areas, enjoy delicious tastings, and discover new restaurants to return to in the future.

My husband and I wanted to see NYC in a less conventional way. We are so glad we included the Chelsea Market & Meatpacking District tour. Had we just meandered through the Market and Meatpacking District, we would have enjoyed looking at the many delectable offerings, but we would never have sampled so many of them. The food samples that our entertaining guide, Curt, served us were a perfect variety and DEFINITELY enough to fill us up as an elongated lunch (which started with dessert first!) The history and stories that Curt told were priceless, because they gave life to the Market's and District's essence. (HINT: If you do this tour on a hot afternoon like we did, you will be glad for the air-conditioning in the Market for the first 2/3 of the tour!) This tour was worth every penny, and a nice contrast to the hectic pace of the rest of our busy activities. We look forward to doing the other Food Tours on a future visit. Thanks for adding to our memorable visit to NYC.

A group of friends and I took the tour last Saturday and had a great time! Our tour guide Curt was the best. Even though I'm sure he has given this tour many times, he made it seem fresh and new. I loved his sense of humor. This is a great thing to do if your looking for something a little different than the typical "tourist" stuff. I would highly recommend it!

Our guide, Curt, was adorable. He made all the information that he was dispensing interesting and intriguing. I'm sure he's said everything hundred of times, but he always made it sound fresh. It was clear that the various shops knew him and liked him. We ate WAY too much, but felt like we got a great overview of the area and off tits history. I would recommend this tour to anyone, "foodie" or not.

My 13 year old daughter and I loved this tour! The food was great. A few too many sweets for me, but I rarely eat sweets. Nice variety of shops. We went back after the tour and did some shopping at Chelsea Market. Guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Woudl recommend this tour to anyone who loves to eat!

I learned so much about the Chelsea Marketplace. I had never been there. What a great place to be...the food, the shopping, the history...it's got it all! Our tour guide was very informative and funny. My mother and I enjoyed this tour. I can't wait to bring other visitors to this unique place.

a good way to learn about the neighborhoods of new york.

we all really enjoyed ourselves. It was great value for money and I would happily reccomend it to other friends of mine visiting from out of town.The Chelsea market tour was the highlight though it got a bit lost walking through the meatpacking district - perhaps you should include a drink in one of the restuarants to bring it a little more to life. Other than that it was really great and I thought the guide was excellent.

My girlfriends and I had the best time on this tour! The food was excellent and our tour guide was knowledgable and funny.

Our tour guide was amazing, his knowledge and expertise of the New York area and it's history captured all our attentions. More food than we expected was provided for our tastes, so delicious and memorable. I would recommend this tour in a heart beat. Thank you.
