Foods of New York Tours

I highly recommend this tour! The guide was excellent and the food was fabulous.

Many thanks to our knowledgeable and entertaining guide, Kurt. We learned a tremendous amount about the shops and specialty foods. We also had a wonderful tour of the neighborhood. I've already bought tours as gifts for family members.

In short: This tour is MUST if you live in Manhatten and highly recommended if you dont. I was not as full as I expected, but also was not hungry at the end of the tour either. About the tour guide: I was so impressed with our tour guide, Kurt (or maybe it was Kirk). He took the time to learn everyone's name, where they were from and who they were traveling with. He continued to address each of us individually throughout the tour ensuring he had our attention and kept us engaged. Not only was he funny, but he really made all of the details of the area stand out with his interesting facts and the way he presented each place. He gave tips for buying vegetables and even gave a few receipe ideas. Between him and the group as a whole, this is my favorite tour thus far. About the tour: The portion sizes for the food was smaller than I expected, but we received samples at more places than I expected, so it evens out. From chocolate milk to jams to grilled cheese to pasta, everything was delicious. My only regret is that I do not live in NYC where I could frequent this marketplace gem. It had everything in one location, just multiple stores specializing in their own food. But just because you cant buy the fresh, raw meat to cook yourself or the fresh milk doesnt mean your tour is fruitless, each place has prepared food options that are just as delectible. The majority of the time was spent inside the market. It was cold though, so I didnt mind. We went up to the highline and then walked through part of the meat packing district. This part of the tour seemed a little rushed and vague, but it doesnt make me change my opinion of the tour overall.

A couple of us were visiting from Texas and we did the Chelsea Market/Meatpacking District food tour. It is a 3 hour tour (that flies by) that is filled with history, stories, and delicious food (LOTS of it). I've done a few tours of NYC and I have to say this tour has by far one of the best. Highly recommend!

Thoroughly recommended - not only do you get to taste some great food, but you also find out some local history. Annie was nothing less than 100% enthusiastic and knowledgeable, and she has obviously built up a good relationship with the restauranteers. Although it's sold as a walking tour, don't be put off if you don't like walking - there really isn't that much at all. If you fancy a shave or a good haircut, you'll also find some good recommendations! Well worth the time and money.

I had such a great time on this tour. The food was VERY plentiful as well as delicious. You defenitely need to come hungry, and you will leave with a FULL belly. I loved all the stories of all the history of the neighbourhood. The best part of the tour was Anny our guide. She was SOOO enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Loved every minute of this tour. I have done 3 different tours with this company and each tour was incredible!

We highly recommend the Greenwich Village tour - great food, great history lesson, lots of fun. Our two teenage sons thought it was the best way to see New York City.

This was a new area for is to explore we really enjoyed all of the tour. The food was wonderful. Our guide was fun and knowledgeable The food was so good I would recommend this tour to anyone

We visit New York a couple times a year and usually do it all on our own, so this was a new experience. Really a good one. Lots of taste treats, a little Greenwich history, and an easy pace and walk.

My partner signed us up for this tour as a birthday present to me, because he knows I'm a Foodie. We had an amazing time. Curt, our tour guide, was the one who made the tour as good as it was. Besides being extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the tour, including the stores and restaurants we went to, history, etc., he was able to memorize the first names of all 17 of us on the tour within minutes of meeting us. And, his sense of humor had us laughing out loud many, many times. The tour, itself, is definitely worth the money and we went back to a few places right after the tour ended to make purchases. We will definitely be going on more food tours with this company, and bringing more people, too. Anyone taking this tour should make sure they get Curt as their guide. You will NOT be disappointed!!! Thanks for a great time on my birthday.

We did many things during our trip to New York but the Chelsea Market/Meat Packing tour was the highlight of the trip. The market was a sight to see and the food was beyond delicious. On top of that, our guide Kurt was the best tour guide I have ever encountered; he is so knowledgeable and extremely funny. The only down side is the tour seemed to fly by so fast and I was not ready for it to be over even though I was full of food.

Our tour guide (Raheem) was absolutely fantastic. His enthusiasm and knowledge of the tour content really made the tour worth while. The tour gave us an insight into the 'real new york'

What a wonderful tour! Susan is a spectacular and knowledgable guide. It is obvious that she loves her city and its many offerings! The food was superb. We especially enjoyed the selections at Cuba and Masala Times. The visits to the coffee and pasta shops were an unexpected bonus. Even though we were walking the tour in near freezing temps, it was well worth it to enjoy not only the food but the neighborhoods and history as well. We plan to do the Chelsea Market tour on our next trip!

Curt was a fantastic and entertaining tour guide. We enjoyed every moment of our tour and look forward to doing another one the next time we visit. That was quite possibly the Most delicious meatball I've ever eaten in my life.

Really enjoyed the tour with Bert. His extensive knowledge of the neighbourhood and his quirky humour made it a great time.
