Foods of New York Tours

THIS IS A FUN TOUR WITH GREAT HISTORY OF WEST VILLAGE. OUR GUIDE ( MARIE) WAS KNOWLEDGEABLE, VERY ENTHUSIASTIC AND HAD GOOD GROUP CONTROL. ALL OF THE STOPS WERE WORTHWHILE. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR. CAN'T WAIT TO RETURN.

The group consisted of work colleagues, and we thoroughly enjoyed the tasting as well as learning about the history of the area. Several of those who attended talked about planning another tasting tour in the future with friends. Marie was great and the tour was well-paced.

What a wonderful way to get to know The Village! The food was varied and enough to constitute a full meal. Our guide was knowledgeable and fun. It was like having a trusted friend take you on a stroll through her neighborhood. We highly recommend this tour.

We had never been to Chelsea before, and the Chelsea Market is truly something to see, if you've never been. It was very interesting to see the shops & learn about the proprietors. As always, our guide Curt was incredibly funny, informative, and entertaining - he really is a seasoned pro! We have taken the Greenwich Village tour also, and liked it a bit better than this one. But perhaps only because this tour was conducted mainly inside the Chelsea Market and we would have preferred being outside more. However, we had a great time and plan to take the Central Village tour next time!

Bob was enthusiastic and charming. His presentation was interesting and informative. I would have gone on other tours also, if time had permitted.

The tour guide had extensive knowledge of the area and was obviously passionate about the subject. The tour was far better than we could ever have imagined. We would recommend this to anyone and are in fact already doing so for friends travelling to New York over the next few months.

The tour of Chelsea Market and the Meat Packing area was great! Our tour guide Bob is a real professional who provided the group with much information and insight into the area. All of the food tastings were very good. We were introduced to many of the specialty markets and restraunts in the area. I highly recommend this tour for the price and for the informative and fun event.

The 3 hour tour had a great combination of learning about the culture and the variety of food available in the area. A fair amount of walking was done and a good portion of the tour was outside, so dress carefully for whatever weather is predicted for that day. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who is interested in Greenwich Village area and wants to see what is offered there.

My wife and I were pleased to hear about the history of the Chelsea Market, (the old Nabisco plant). Our tour guide was very energetic and new all the information there is to know about the community. Very interesting architecture in the building and its surroundings. The food samples were tasty (but didn't fill you up), and they can accomodate you when you sign up for the tour. My suggestion is to ask for a goody bag for the dessert and eat it later. There are some famous bakers', chefs' and other famous people that have businesses there. You just never know who will get to see.

We travel to NYC about twice a year and had never done a tour like this before. Was even better than we had imagined. Lots of great food and interesting insights. As well as a historical look at New York City's Meat Packing neighborhood. Our tour guide, Darryl, went above and beyond the usual tour. (We enjoyed surveying the windows of the Strand Hotel.) Would recommend a tour like this to virtually any foodie, or person interested in New York history.

We had a great time on our tour. Our guide was very informative and friendly. We would and have recommended this tour.

OUR TOUR GUIDE (D BLACKBURN) WAS ENTERTAINING AND INFORMATIVE. A WELL SPENT THREE HOURS. LOOKING FORWARD TO ANOTHER TOUR NEXT YEAR

We were fortunate to only have six people in our group, which made it a much more intimate group. Cindy was an exceptional tour guide. Not only was the food excellent, Cindy's knowledge of the village, architecture and history made it very special. The food portions were more than ample. I would highly recommended this tour to my friends.

The tour was so much more than I anticipated. Our guide was very knowledgeable, entertaining, and enthusiastic, he made the tour so much fun. Everyone that we encountered in the different venues was friendly and seemed glad that we were there. All the food that we tasted was delicious. I loved seeing the old factory brought back to life. I am thankful that there are people with a vision and brave enough to fight for it. We certainly plan to do another tour in the near future.

We had a group of 6 along with 10 others in our group--we had such fun! Our guide, Marie, was excellent. She was enthusiastic and gave us such thorough and interesting facts about the neighborhood and the restaurants! The food was delicious and so interesting. We have decided to come back to Greenwhich Village next year to try some of the restaurants we tasted! I recommend this tour to all--it was well worth it! Thank you!
