Chelsea Market/Meatpacking Dist Food Tasting Tour

I learned about the neighborhood, something I would have never done on my own. Great tour guide.

This is my second tour (my friends and I did the Greenwich Village Tour last November). During the Chelsea Market/Meat Packing District tour, I enjoyed myself immensely. The tour guide, Darryl, was incredibly knowledgeable; (the historic content he provided was amazing). Darryl was also very entertaining and gets a double thumbs up from my entire group. The food samplings were all very good / delicious; however the balance of savory/sweet should be addressed. Although it was quite yummy, starting with a cupcake at 11:00 am wasn't what we imagined. I had a great time and would do another, different tour again, this particular tour was too heavy on sweet / dessert-like tastings.

Me and my group had a wonderful time in the company of Kurt. He is so pleasant and knowledgeable. Next time in NY, we are sure to visit another part of the city that way.

Kurt, our guide, greeted the 16 guests as if we were family. Addressed everyone within 30 minutes by their first names. He was the highlight of the tour and we have already recommended your company to our relatives in CT. Se you again next year for tour #4

Kurt was absolutely amazing - he was very energetic, enthusiastic, and knowledgable. We toured the market, tasting and hearing things we would have never otherwise. Taking a walk on the High Line was very cool. A trip to his friends house was that extra special touch! Thank you Kurt, we will be asking for you on the next tour we go on!

This is our second walking tour with this company (previously took the Greenwich Village Tour). This was much better experience. Our tour guide (Bob) was knowledgeable, energetic and provided truly interesting information. Touring the market on Black Friday was a little daunting but we kept moving and the food stops were well placed. Just a few critical comments: Heard a lot about the cost of rents and properties. Okay, interesting the first time. Repeatedly mentioning the costs of real estate got old. Also, the last stop of the tour in the Meat Packing District (Italian restaurant) was great, but, we would have rather stopped at the bakery that offered us cupcakes from the beginning of the tour. Put that stop as the last stop to end on a "sweet note" (no pun intended). One other nit picky issue: In your advertisements advise potential customers that at most of the food stops you are sharing food with the others. Several in our group treated the stops as their personal fill-em-ups with little consideration for the others in the group. Regardless of the boorish conduct of our fellow tourists, all in all: Highly recommend it!!!!!

We thoroughly enjoyed our food tour with bob- he was very informative, enthusiastic and personable. He took his time to explain all about the area and was happy to discuss other general queries about new York. He wasn't intrusive or gung ho in his attitude and we would gladly recommend this tour and guide to everyone visiting the city. All the stores we stopped in were a lovely example of their trade- each shop being clean, up to date and serving top quality merchandise. I especially enjoyed the seafood shop and my husband and u returned there after the tour. Chelsea Market is an unmissable part of any NYC trip and this tour showcased it beautifully.

My husband, son (12yrs) and myself - just LOVED this food tour. It was our first food tour and now we're ready to try another! Our guide was outstanding - she was witty, upbeat and very informative. We loved the lobster bisque soup at the Lobster Place, it was so delicious! This tour is well worth the money, you get great food and great historical facts about the Chelsea Market. Just wish we had a little more time to really "shop" around and get the vendors' opinions or suggestions on which products were the best to give as token gifts. I highly recommend that everyone should try at least one food tour.

Viewing Manhattan with the Food Tour Group is like seeing New York for the first time. The food was special, the history is beyond words.

great tour, recommended. not great for children. got to experience a different aspect of NYC
