Good but could be better
Sun, Nov 6, 05   11:30 AM tmccarthy Female 50-59 Domestic Tourist(s) Unspecified
I thought that since this was a tour of Chelsea Meat Packing area there should have been a bit of meat to choose from. Also, it was supposed to be a 3 hour tour & was over 20 minutes early. I enjoyed what we did & where we went but I think it should have been w/in 10 minutes of the 3 hours & I think we could've had a taste of 1 or 2 more items from different places.

Yummy tour with great variety!

This was a great tour of Chelsea Market and the surrounding area. We learned so many interesting things about it, even small details like that the T salon uses soy ink and corn cups. We even went "behind-the-scenes" and saw a huge 5-lb lobster in the back room of the lobster store. We had a great variety of samples and they were nicely sized too. Kurt was an excellent tour guide - very knowledgeable about the area and funny! The tour was very well planned out and had a good small group size (16). I've been to Chelsea Market before but never knew what I learned in the tour. This tour gave us a nice appreciation of Chelsea Market and the surrounding area... it was well worth the money and I would highly recommend it to others.

A great way to learn about the neighborhood!

We not only got to taste fantastic food and find out about restaurants we might not otherwise have found, but we also learned the stories behind many of the establishments in Greenwich Village. A very worthwhile 3 hours!

Delightful, fun and educational

Our guide Marie was wonderful, thoughtful and considerate of everyone. We enjoyed all the information she imparted about the area and its history. All of the tastings were wonderful, and we returned to Palma for dinner later in the week. The tasting was a delicious "teaser". Would recommend this experience to anyone, regardless of age.

Very Enjoyable Tour, but...

This was my second experience on the Greenwich Tour. I've also taken the Chelsea Tour. Obviously I enjoy the tour or I wouldn't have participated again. However, I found our guide this time to be significantly less enthusiastic and entertaining than the previous two tours I've taken. She never even introduced herself. I asked her name when the tour ended. She was very knowledgable about the area and establishments, just not very friendly or outgoing which in my opinion significantly detracted from the overall experience.

Awesome

We had a blast, our tour guide Kurt was great. He brought knowledge and humour to the tour. The food was awesome and gave us a taste of the New York melting pot. We started to think that the same thing must exist in Toronto our home and plan to investigate for next years outing. We plan to look into a walking food tour on all our future trips.

Extremely enjoyable experience
Sat, Nov 24, 07   11:00 AM tkuij6 Female 50-59 Local Family With Children
Our tour guide - Curt really made the experience. He was extremely entertaining. I wondered what we could possibly do for 3 hours but the time just flew by. The food tasting was wonderful. There were small portions but delicious and such a wide variety from the soup, cookies, biscuits with jam and gelato just to name a few. I am hoping to plan another trip to Soho or Tribeca based upon the great time we had. My 21 yr old son was with us and he had a great time too. We enjoyed the other aspects of the tour as well.

Better than expected! Terrific time! Great food!

This was a fantastic tour, if all of the tour guides are as good as the one we had (Curt) everyone who takes this tour will get more than their money's worth. The food was great and plentiful. The history of the area and information about various places was interesting & informative, and was delivered in a fun & conversational manner that kept the pace moving and engaging. I will absolutely recommend this tour to anyone I know who is traveling to New York City.

Great tour!
Thu, May 21  1:00 PM tkinley Female 40-49 Domestic Tourist(s) Other
I enjoyed this tour so much the first time I went (as part of a professional meeting), I took friends with me a second time. Chelsea Market is a unique retailing concept and the tasting tour gives the consumer great insight that they wouldn't otherwise get. The tour guide is knowledgable, has good stories, and is effective in maximizing the customer experience. The tour is a little pricey, but it will replace one or two meals for the day making it a worthwhile expenditure. You will not leave hungry - you will be making plans to return for lunch on another day! If I were asked ways to improve, I would edit the tour of the Meat Packing District some; that third hour is hard - interesting, but tiring!

Unique Experience
Sat, Jan 10  6:30 PM tkatz01 Female 20-29 Local Couple on a Date
Not knowing what to expect, it superseded any expectations i did have. I have never done anything like that. You think you are just going to taste different kinds of sushi and sake, but it was way more than that. I learned so much and now have a new appreciation for sushi and its history. Our host was amazing. He was fun and very very knowledgeable beyond what he needed to be. He made it fun and light so it wasn't intimidating at all to anyone who was at the table. I would highly recommend this to everyone and anyone who wants a unique, fun, and educational experience.

Fell in love with NY City all over again

My father and I took the Greenwich Village Tour and are looking forward to taking the other tours your company offers. Our guide, Christian was excellent. He was pleasant and knowledgeable. You could tell he enjoyed what he was doing and answered all questions and had fun with the group. It is very well organized and seeing a different part of the city was amazing. It makes you appreciate the past and present and to see all the beautiful architecture along with tasting great food was perfect. Congratulations to your group and keep up the great job! Thanks again.

Great tour, well worth the time

We went on the Original Greenwich Village Food Tour led by Cindy last week. She was an excellent guide - very knowledgeable about the area and foods/restaurants & shops, and at the same time entertaining. The 3 hours passed quickly with her. The variety and quality of the foods was good and there was more than enough to make up a lunch. It was nice that she gave us a break between samplings - otherwise I would have been stuffed!
