A fantastic way to kick off a trip to NYC! - Joe was fantastic! He did a great job of providing interesting historical context while also keeping the tour moving at a good pace. I took my two teen daughters with me and he kept their attention. Food was delicious and portion sizes were not too big to enjoy all of them!

Robin is a great guide - Robin was amazing. We’ve done several food tours here in NYC and this was definitely amongst our best. We had unique experiences that we otherwise may not have tried, but will definitely go back to.

Fun Food Tour through Chelsea Market - Hands down one of the best food tours we have ever done. Our guide, Cindy, was so much fun and provided interesting information and facts about Chelsea Market. We would absolutely recommend this tour, and are looking forward to booking another tour when we return to NYC!

Delicious and very informative - Our guide, Joe, was a delightful combination of historian, foodie, actor and NYC native who enjoyed showing us the delights of the Chelsea Market. He had lots of interesting anecdotes and backstories to share about the building, past and present uses, and about the vendors we visited. During our tour, we enjoyed a delicious biscuit and 2 jams, a zucchini frittata, handmade hot dog, cheese/fig, handmade choclate, Asian fusion taco and delicious crispy crust NY pizza. Then Joe took us for a walk along the High Line, telling its history and current efforts to maintain and protect the oasis in the lower Manhattan. Finally, we returned to the market for a delicious scoop of gelato. Plenty of food on the tour, something for everyone’s tastes. (And vegetarian group members who had informed the tour co were seamlessly accommodated as needed)

Delicious food, great tour guide - This was a perfect decision for a post NYC marathon food tour! Robin is a great host/tour guide, and the food was delicious. We enjoyed chatting with the others in our group as well. Highly recommend if you like good food, good people and neighborhood history.

Excellent tour! - The tour was great! Joe was our guide and he was awesome. It was a tour where we learned about the history of Chelsea Market, the meat packing district, each place we ate and all the different food. Great food, unrushed, very enjoyable!

All hail King Joe! - Amazing food with a great guide. Joe. Joe was a charmer and very well versed about Chelsea market and the area. You could tell all the food vendors really respected him. Joe was also very conscious of keeping us safe making sure we crossed the street looking both ways. He kept his ducks all in a row! Highly recommend this tour and spending a Sunday in that area.
