Very "tasteful" tour

The tour was great. By the end, we had eaten enough for lunch. We also learned quite a bit about the neighbourhod. Tour guide Cindy was excellent. Our only complaint is we didn't really like the salt tasting. The best part was the chowder in The Lobster Place.

I recently went on the chelsea market food tour and found to be extremely interesting and fun. The tour giude was very informative and easy to listen to. the tour itself was very laid back and offered me a view of the city i have never seen before. Being a nyc resident all my life i learned about a place in the city i think everyone should experience because it has so much of ny culture in it

I purchased this tour due to wife's love of the Food Network and the Chelsea Market area. I was a little worried it may be drab and boring. I was pleasantly surprised. Our guide was enthusiastic, informative, and entertaining. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone.

Highlight of Our Weekend

Coming from Massachusetts, our group has seen and done all the standard NYC activities. The Meat Packing District is something we have read about as an up and coming area and we were curious as to what the attraction could be. The tour introduced us to so many great places to taste delecious foods. The samplings were varied and tasty and in some cases adventurous (chocolate caramel candy dipped in vanilla infused salt!). Most of the tour was indoors so we didn't have to worry about the rain or shine policy. The Nabisco building is fascinating, a marvelous renovation. Our tour guide (was it Kurt?) was funny and high energy and very charismatic. He was the best! Also, receiving a packet containing all the information about the places we visited was wonderful! I can't wait to go back to NY and take the other tour.

Lots of fun! Our group was small - I imagine it would not have been as great with more folks.

Great Food and Great Tour!

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour! The building is fantastic as it retains so much of the original architecture, yet has been modernized to accomodate the various purveyors and merchants. The tastings were wonderful and more than enough food! Great walking tour after the tastings around the trendy meatpacking district. Our guide, Kurt, was full of information and quite funny once you got used to his humor. We were pleasantly surprised at how much fun it was.

Everything we tasted was fabulous, and I must commend our tour guide Cindy for making the tour an entertaining one. I've already recommended the tour to friends & co-workers who plan to head into NYC. I plan to schedule one of the other locations very soon. This is definitely worth it and a great thing for all foodies!! Thanks.

WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE.

My husband and I really enjoyed our Food Tour through Chelsea Marketplace. We were very impressed with the portions and presentaion of the food samples. Our tour guide Daryl was very helpful and knowlegable. He was a warm person. Our group was somewhat friendly. My husband has his follow up medical appointment at Sloan Kettering next summer, and we plan on taking the Greenich Village Food Tour if time permits. Great Idea, I'm glad I stumbled upon the tour pamphlet on my last visit to NYC. Terry Peck
