Chelsea food tour

It was a ball. They should put a header on the web site that says - DO NOT EAT ANY FOOD BEFORE TOUR. The tour guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Went back and roamed amid the marketplace again after the tour.

Our guide, Cindy, was very knowledgable and entertaining. The time went by quickly and we learned so much about the food and the rich history of the area. We'll be back for another food tour and we'll recommend that our friends and Family make this a must do & see experience.

Great way to explore a neighborhood!!!

This is a great way to explore a city neighborhood that you might not otherwise visit with all the other tempting options in NYC. We enjoyed the history details provided by our Tour Guide (Bob) and his obvious enthusiasm for sharing his city's history with visitors!! We munched our way through a great variety of food tastings while enjoying the atmosphere of the Chelsea Market and visiting the amazing highline park. A 'Must Do' for anyone who would enjoy eating their way through a city neighborhoodd while learning about local history and culture!!!

Fascinating History, Exceptional Food

Diana, was everything you could hope for in a tour guide. The history of the Chelsea Market and Meat Packing Disctrict was very interesting. None of the vendors skimped on the food. We were served red velvet cupcakes, lobster bisque, hand-made pasta with oxtail ragu, Guiness beef pies and lots more. I highly recommend this tour.

Loved this tour!

I had never been to the Chelsea Market and it was awesome! Beautiful, unique and left you wanting more. Our tour guide Suzanna was great. She led us with interesting history (not stuffy), great food selections. I would highly recommend this tour. The only thing missing would be to see the Food Network-but that is not the tours fault-apparently no one can go up there for tours. I think they are missing out....

Fantastic Food and History Tour

Our tour guide (Barri) was very knowledgeable and personable during the tour. It was quite interesting - we learned a lot about the area and shops within the neighborhood and market. The walking part of the tour was easy enough for everyone in our group (various ages). The food was absolutely amazing and there was plenty available. We had a great variety - desserts, soups, drinks, pasta, breads, appetizers, etc. etc. We were very pleased with the affordability of this tour - well worth the price! Chelsea Market was one of our favorite places in Manhattan. We will be back to try other tours and probably take in the Chelsea Market tour again. Very enjoyable! Thanks Barri, Foods of New York Tours and Zerve!

Informative, interesting and delicious!

Barri was an informative and enthusiastic guide. She was very knowledgeable about the market and the meatpacking district, and the Highline was amazing. The tastings were great and they made good accomidations for my husbands food allergies, he didn't miss a thing. This was our second tour with the company and intend to do all five tastings offered. I just hope you add more tours or offer other options like food genre tastings.

Bob, our tour guide, made the tour what it was. He is extremely knowledgeable, not just about the food establishments we visited, but, more generally, about the history of the area we visited and of Manhattan.
