Chelsea Market/Meatpacking Dist Food Tasting Tour

Our group of four women had previously gone on the Greenwich Village food tour and thought nothing could top it but we absolutely loved the Chelsea Market/Foodpacking District tour. Our guide, Kurt, was very informative and interesting. The food was great. We even got to see some of the Food Network stars. I would highly recommend this tour. I believe this is a tour that even men would enjoy because of the history of the building.

The is the second food walking tour that my wife and I have gone on. Both we EXCELLENT. If you do one think in NYC, be sure to to the food walking tour.

Don't be fooled by the name "meatpacking district", this is not what you think. The village, Chelsea Market and surrounding area which we toured are part of the OLD meatpacking district. Alot of history, great shops, great food, wonderful stores to shop at, and restuarants to eat at potentially! Don't hesitate to take this tour, there is so much to know that you could never learn on your own unless you lived there for many years. Even the two 17 yr.olds with us really enjoyed it! Don't eat much before you go because you will look forward to each bite! Wear comfy shoes because you will walk for a full three hours and then hopefully more on your own after. Kurt was very fun and knowledgeable. Thankyou we will see you again.

A tasty tour of New York!

great tour! loved the architecture of the market! great tour guide and lots of interesting facts and foods! :)

Tour guide was knowledgeable, energetic, and fun! The tastings were better than we'd hoped and the quantity of food was more than we expected. Had we taken a different tour, we would have been dealing with rain constantly. On this tour, however, all the tastings were indoors! We did leave Chelsea Market in order to see the Meat Packing District, but by then it was only sprinkling. This food tour made us feel like we experienced something really special about New York. Highly recommended.

The walking tour is a great introduction to Chelsea Market. We learned the history of the building which was originally the Nabisco Factory and that was very interesting. Our guide took us to the back of the shops and restaurants to places we would never have gone on our own. We sampled the best items in the market from chocolate milk and chocolate croissants to cheese, olives and salami. I really enjoyed the history of the people who work in and own the shops. We went back in the cooler at the Lobster Market and tasted exotic flavored salt and chocolate caramels the Chelsea Basket Market. The tour of the packing district was brief but very interesting, especially the trains that took the workers right into the factories. I would recommend the tour to people of all ages.

Hi! I've done the village tour as well. The food tastings on both tours are fantastic. I enjoy the diversity of selections, etc. However, the village tour is more interesting, in my opinion. I like travelling through the streets learning about the history of the village. It's like a little mysterious path through greenwich. The meatpacking one is a little more stationary, and a little less appealing. However, the guides on both tours were fantastic. Keep up the good work. I'll continue bringing visitors out for food tours all the time!

My husband and I have been to NYC several times. We picked up a brochure in our hotel lobby on our last trip. We arranged for this food tour on this trip and were pleased with our choice. We learned so much more than we had hoped. We plan on arranging another food tour on our next trip. We passed the info on to friends who are coming to NYC. Thanks for the learning experience!!

Enjoyed the Tour and really enjoyed Curt.
