| We enjoyed getting a tour of the Chelsea Market and Meatpacking District. I had been on the Greenwich Village tour and enjoyed that as well. This one didn't cover quite as much ground but was still fun. Curt was a hoot. | ||||||

| There were 6 people in our immediate group, EVERYONE in the group had a great time. Kurt was our tour guide.....not only was he knowledgable of the shops, restaurants & the area but he was enthusiatically funny. A great sense of humor! Chelsea Market was a great place, fresh vegetables, meat, seafood, bakery items, wine, flowers - what else is better in life than to have all that indoors, under one roof? The lobster bisque was to-die-for in the seafood market! The local trivia was informative & the day was beautiful. Wear comfortable shoes & layered clothing, - you'll be indoors & outdoors. What a way to get acquainted with the area, enticing you to come back again to visit any of the places you visit on the tour. Enjoy! | ||||||

| I never would have known that the Chelsea Market/meat packing district existed and all the history and interesting facts that Kurt provided about the tour made it even more interesting. Kurt's sense of humor and the fact that he really seemed to enjoy what he was doing made the tour that much more fun. I can't wait to go back to the Market again to buy some of the delicious food we sampled and to eat/hang at the restaurants/bars in the meat packing district. We were really glad that we took the tour and I have already recommended it to some of my friends. | ||||||

| Unfortunately, the weather was cool and crisp, but that is hardly the fault of the tour! I really enjoyed the Greenwich Village tour - we had a small group of 8, and that meant the tour guide could pay us all more attention and tailor the tour to our interests. He kept us at a comfortable pace, made sure we stayed on the sunny side of the street to help those with insufficient clothing, and was very enthusiastic about the area and the shops. It is especially good if you are an Italophile, as there are many many cafes and specialty shops catering to Italian needs, the best I've seen outside of Italy itself. In short, if you are looking for a relaxed introduction to the area, and want to sample great food while doing it, this is the tour for you! | ||||||

Visiting a New Frontier

| While having been in NYC a hundred times, I had never been to Chelsea Market and the Meat Packing District. It was a neighborhood that your mother told you to avoid, (part of the appeal no doubt). I was in town for the Big East basketball tourney and found this tour via City Search. I am fond of walking tours in NYC, London and wherever I find them. This is the first tour sponsored by Zerve I've taken. First, the sampling of different foods in a wholesale envirnoment was new and fun. Subsequently, I returned to the area the next day for lunch and for dinner at two of the places we had seen on the tour; good food, pricey, "Sex in the City" crowd. Secondly, I enjoyed the "other" discoveries at least as much as the advertised food tour, e.g., High Line Rail, meat on hooks on the sidewalk, Stella McCartney shoe store, Coyotte biker bar. Tour guide's insights re: history and tranistion of neighborhood were very interesting. Also visited an art exhibit in the neighborhood after the tour ended. The tour guide was entusiastic, well informed, and responsive to questions. Group was a good mix of age, sex, interests, etc. The limit of 10 persons per tour, mine was at max, was just right; more would have been a problem of logistics as well as chemistry. This tour costs more than others but the price was about right for the value received. Price is the main reason I did not give this 5 stars. I will take a Zerve tour again and have recommended it to others. | ||||||

| We took the tour on Thursday, 3/10 and had a grand time. Cindi was our guide and her energy and sense of humor made for an informative and entertaining tour. We returned on Saturday to revisit the shops and eat more pizza! I have already recomended the tour to several friends and hope to return to take the Chelsea tour. Thanks! Ellen Engels | ||||||

| We had a great time on the tour and learned some historical facts about Greenwich Village while sampling scrumptious food. We had Cindy as our tour guide and I must say she was quite entertaining as well as informative. I would highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to learn more about what Greenwich Village has to offer, especially if you love to eat. Thanks again Cindy for a great time!

| The tour went on for longer than originally anticipated, but we were all having such a good time, nobody seemend to mind! Cindy, our guide, is a local New Yorker and it was wonderful to have an insider's viewpoint on the area. She was also very amusing, obviously enjoying herself and added tidbits of infomration many tour guides wouldn't bother with. I am seriously considering booking her for private tours when other people come out to visit me. It was one of the best $40 I've spent in the city. | ||||||

| This was one of the highlights of our trip! We can't wait to return to NYC to experience the Chelsea Food/Walking tour. Cindy, tour guide extraordinaire, was funny and really made the tour enjoyable and interesting and the food was fabulous. Two of our friends, native New Yorkers, joined us for the tour and they had a great time as well - and learned something about their city in the process. Cheers to all! | ||||||

"Girls Trip to NYC" - 5 girls looking to explore Greenwich Village

| Our only regret about this tour was that we didn't do it sooner!! We had such a good time, and learned SO much, that we realized we should have done it our first day in New York. We knew the "samples" were supposed to be enough for lunch - but quite frankly we didn't believe it. We ended up being full after only the first few samples! Do NOT eat breakfast before going on this tour!! Not only did we get a list of restaurants & shops to take home, but we learned about where to eat and why, as well as the history and culture of Greenwich Village. And our tour guide was HILARIOUS!! She was like a character out of Saturday Night Live and knew everything there was to know about the area. It wasn't boring for a second! It was the best thing we did on our entire trip!! | ||||||

| I would highly recommend this tour. There was alot of historical information supplied along with excellent food tasting activities. I would not recommend this tour for the winter. It was difficult to pay attention with my appendages feeling as though they would fall off at any moment. It is necessary to have a tour guide who speaks loudly. Otherwise you miss some good information. | ||||||
