Foods of New York Tours

My tour guide Kurt was FANTASTIC ! He brought the group together instantly and made the tour entertaining and informative. I would definitely recommend it to friends but am sure the guide was instrumental in the success of the tour. There was a good balance of factual information and fun and i certainly felt like i knew the area well on completion of the tour ! Request Kurt as your guide !

We were excited to finally have the chance to sign up for this tour. We had heard good things from others who had taken similar tours. We could not have been more pleased with our host, Curt. He was knowledgeable, witty, and just a load of fun to be with for 3 hours! I have friends that are going to New York City in June and I cannot WAIT to share my experience with them and encourage them to work this tour into their vacation!

This is my 2nd tour and I have not been disappointed. Guide was very informative and entertaining. I have recommended this tour to others and they intend on looking you up on their next trip to New York. Great job.

My Mother and I had a lovely time during this tour with Howard. He was just wonderful, informative, funny and very considerate. I am not the best of walkers and I was recently out of the hospital, Howard made sure I was comfortable with the pace of the tour. The food was great and I especially enjoyed the little private areas made for our group to sample the wonderful offerings. We visit Chelsea Market at least once a year but this tour brought it to a new level. Well worth the time, the effort and the cost.

Tour guide made the whole experience much more fun!!

Enjoyed it

The tour was great. Maree was friendly and knowledgeable and really made us feel like we knew the areas very well. Food choices were good. There were some parts of the tour that went into too much detail about a particular restaurant, for example, but overall it was great.

We really enjoyed the combination of food knowledge and local history on the tour. Bob, our guide, was personable, friendly, and knowledgeable - he did a terrific job of giving us an overview of the history of the area and how the market fit into that. Food and tastings were great, it was a treat to see Sarabeth (of Sarabeth's Bakery) in action while we were there. Highly recommended for anyone interested in Food and New York City. Looking forward to trying one of the other food tours.

We had a terrific time! Didn't realize most of the tour would be inside in one building but that turned out to be a plus since the weather was rainy. Our guide, Daryl, was an actor with a flair who made all of his stories interesting and catchy. The whole experience was well worthwhile. Just don't plan on eating for several hours afterwards.

We were encouraged to take in a food tour while making plans for our vacation in New York City. We were pleased with our decision and had a great time. Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic. This was a great way to learn about the area and sample some of the food associated with that region of the city.

We ambled through the Chelsea Food Market (old Nabisco plant). Our guide knew a great deal about the bullding's history, art, etc. We tasted many different foods, then did a tour of the HighLine park (abbreviated because or a rain storm), and had a final "sit-down" tasting at a very nice Italian restaurant in the district. This was a very good tour, enhanced by an exceptional guide.

My 16 year old daughter and I really enjoyed this tour - so much so, that we returned to Greenwich the next day for a full meal at one of the places we visited! The history of the area in addition to the information about the restaurants/food was entertaining. Our guide kept us chuckling with his animated story telling. The quantity of food was more than enough - we were stuffed by the time the tour was over! I would recommend this for anyone, but especially those who are timid about venturing out of the Times Square area and want to become familiar with the other areas of the City. We plan to do another tour of another neighborhood next time we visit.

This was one of the best tours I have ever taken. Our guide, Kurt, was excellent. Not only did he give a great tour with interesting tips, but he gave us history of the area, people and buildings along the way. The restaurants we visited were amazing with delicious & generous portions of their specialties. We went back and had lunch and dinner at a few of the places and were not disappointed. This tour is a must if you enjoy food & history. It'll give you a new perspective on this unique neighborhood.

I did the tour with my teenage son which was hosted by the lovely Bari (female). She was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. The tour was fantastic. We had about 8 food tastings of very sizeable portions although we visited many more places - you won't leave hungry. Although a 3 hours tour the time passed really quickly and very little distance was actually covered so you needn't be an athlete to partake. Would recommend doing this tour early in your trip so you get plenty of opportunity to re-visit your favourite restaurants and shops. It was fascinating to learn about the history of the area too. This has got to be one of the best value, fun tours to do in NYC. Highly recommended. Can't wait to revisit and do their Chelsea Market & Meat Packing District tour. One couple had done the Greenwich |Village tour 3 times which speaks volume. Thanks Bari, we had a blast. Hope to see you soon.

I suggest to take this tour early in your trip, so you can go back and enjoy some of the places for dinner. You leave the tour full, so returning immediately is not an option. Fun and entertaining.
