Chelsea Market/Meatpacking Dist Food Tasting Tour

My wife and I really enjyed this tour, which was recommended by a friend. The food was excellent, and learning the history of the area was even better. Our guide had a great personality and took us for a tour of the area, even talking a couple friends into letting us see their restaurants and in one case, Bed and Breakfast. We got to New York every two years and it was the first time we ever tried this...we will be taking another tour next time. Doug from Omaha

I strongly recommend the trip to anybody who wants to improve the knowledge about presumably ordinary looking districts of NY. Excellent food, good story-telling, fine atmosphere created by KURT- it was fantastic experience and thank you for it!

We had a great time on the Chelsea & meatpacking tour. Saw a few celebs too which was fun! We tried loads of different things, including flavoured salts & salt 'candies' which were very tasty and surprising. We were lucky enough to only have a small tour and the chance to meet and talk to many of the owners of the businesses we were touring which was great. I also liked meeting the real-life lobsters!!! The food was delicious, and plenty of it. A real mix of samples so there is something for everyone. I liked hearing about the history of the areas we were visiting and the regeneration that's happening there, plus we stuck our heads round the door of some fab restaurants and shops that'd we'd have never gone in otherwise. All in all a great tour with a great guide (Kurt!), which made for great fun (and a full stomach!!).

We were seven in our party and each and every one of us were so happy with the tour. The shops we visited were unique and great. The food we tasted was fabulous. The history of the building and surroundings was fascinating. The tour guide was the best!!!!

It was a pleasure to discover this gem of a tour in the city we've been to many, many times. Our guide was extremely informative and the shops and restaurants we visited very accomodating and welcoming. We have a new appreciation for a previously shunned area and will definately visit the area shops and restaurants again

We really enjoyed the tour and tastings. The tour guide was very insightful and had a very good personality. The places we were taken to had excellent food which was definitely a plus. I would recommend this to others.

All the facts, history and trivia about the Chelsea Market delivered by an extremely knowledgeable guide (Curt) who is obviously personally interested and connected and is a real entertainer. The food tasting establishments were all of high quality - the lobster room was the most fascinating and the salt tastings were also unusual.

Great way to spend 3 hours, lots of local history described in a lively informative manner. Our guide was very entertaining, knew his history of the district and was very comfortable in discussions. Tastings were excellent, A lot of different vendors all good quality. Good fun, good walk, good company.

Having been to NYC many times before, I was looking for something different. My friend recommended the tour, and it completely lived up to my expectations. The food was delicious-- and getting to have tastes of everything is the way to go! ....But my brother and I thought the best part was learning about the Chelsea Mkt, and area. We look forward to returning in a few years and seeing how much it has changed! Our tour guide Wendy was an added bonus-- her animation and humor really brought the tour to life! Thanks oodles!

We had a great time touring the market. Our guide was very knowledgeable and entertaining. The tastings that were provided were delicious. I would definitely recommend the tour.
