Very Splendid Experience

This was the first time I had ever taken part in a food and walking tour of Chelsea Market and the Meatpacking District, and I enjoyed it very much. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, and I found my group to be friendly as well. I loved sampling all of the foods offered. I even went back to the Market to buy a few things once the tour had officially ended. I intend on taking part in the other food/walking tours offered, such as the Greenwich Village tour.

We had a great time with our tour guide Kurt (Curt). You could instantly tell he knew his "business". Not only that, he had a great rapport with all the vendors that they welcomed us with open arms. Towards the end of our tour (the walking part of the Meat packing district) it started to rain buckets. We stopped at an Italian restaurant that was on our tour and the manager offered all our group (16) free soda and/or coffee and also set out a delicious side of deep fried zucchini!!!! All on the house. I am sure it is because of how our guide treated the businesses. He was just great with our group and so humorous. As a matter of fact, as we were walking through the Chelsea Market, a couple asked me what kind of tour I was on. I gave them the information and told them it was great! Thanks so much and I will recommend this tour and your Greenwich Village Tour (I was on that tour several years ago and had a great time) to anyone I know who wants to get the "inside" info on both these areas of NYC.

Superior "flavor" of Greenwich Village

Tour Guide Michael Karp is "the" best-informed tour guide we have ever encountered, and this includes international tours. His knowledge base is obviously from personal experience and not by 'preparation'. The three hour experience melted away as he wove the tapestry of the village - of course in culinary tasting-but more importantly in the history and fabric of the village itself. One could never understand all the nuances with a self-guided tour and clearly, Mr. Karp's wealth of knowledge reflects his interest in the subject. His knowledge of history astounded us. As a docent/tour guide at a museum in our hometown, we understand what it takes to be well informed for the visitor experience. THANK YOU for assigning us to Mr. Karp and give him our profound thanks. We would certainly do this tour again, and would request Mr. Karp for the occasion.

HIGHLY recommend!

This tour is fabulous. We had Michael who has a wealth of knowledge of the Village and is entertaining. Not only did we taste great food, but we also came away with an appreciation for Greenwich Village, it's culture and food! I was surprised at the variety in the tour. I guess I expected us to walk non-stop and eat non-stop, but it was a good mix of touring, stopping to here details of an area and food tasting. This tour is a definite highlight of our vacation and I would say a "don't miss" for anyone going to New York!

It's a great way to get familiarized with the neighborhood for those who just moved to the area.

My husband, three teenage daughters, and I had a great time. The food was delicious and the historical facts and trivia were interesting and fun. Lots of great suggestions on resturants we will definitely be visiting in the future.

Kurt provided us with an excellent tour of the village. He was very knowledgable and shared so much information with us. The food we sampled from the restaurants and shops was very good! Also explored the wonderful neighborhood. What culture and history! We would highly recommend this tour. Look forward to visiting NYC again and trying another sightseeing adventure!

We had a group of seven people from age 8 to age 78. Everyone enjoyed the food, the history and the fabulous tour guide (Michael).

less history, more food

Really liked it, but might throw a glass of wine or a beer in, along with maybe some fries or something from 86 bedford. My husband is a med size guy and he could have eaten quite a bit more w/o stuffing himself.

We had the best time on this tour! Kurt was funny and knowledgeable and gave a really fun tour. It was even better than we expected. The food was excellent and plentiful, too. We'll be recommending the tour to all of our friends.

A great experience

This was a fascinating experience. We did not realize that this area was thriving with so much history and great food. Cindy, our tour guide, was very knowledgable and had a great personality which made and made it an enjoyable experience.
