Fantastic Experience! 5 Star Rating - World class

I attended the Chelsea/Meat Packing Food Tour during a vacation to NYC. This tour was a hilight of my vacation. The tour guide was informative without becoming dull or talking too much and entertaining without becoming "cheesy". A comfortable atmosphere was maintained through the trip as the tour guide presented information, provided insights to the area, and presented food samples at various locations. Effrots were approrpiately made to accomodate food allergies (I'm allergic to shellfish - anothe tour member peanuts). The tour guide also maintained a comfortable pace so that we neither felt rushed nor lingered in one area too long. In addition, I was impressed that the guide was able to tactfully redirect questions and "dawdlers" so that the entire group was able to see as many places as possible and truly benefit from the tour.

I can't wait to try all the other tours offered and will plan my next NYC vacation around doing so.

Pros: Informative, Comfortable, Friendly, Entertaining....
Cons: Tours fill quickly

great tour 5 Star Rating - World class

Mike was our guide and he was great. We learned a lot of history and enjoyed some good food. The first stop on the Greenwich tour was Joe's Pizza. It probably can be knocked off the tour. It's definitely not the best pizza in Greenwich Village or Manhattan. You must get a beer at Chumley's. Definitely worth the time and money!

Pros: small groups; great guides
Cons: none

This Was the Highlight of Our Stay in NYC! 5 Star Rating - World class

Our guide, Curt, was absolutely phenomenal ~ he has hands-on experience with all the stops on this delectable tour, and was very informative regarding the history of the neighborhoods. The food was positively sublime, and we came away with an arsenal of knowledge of which places to come back to for gastronomic pleasures of every sort and scenario. This tour is a must-do, and make sure to try to ensure that you have Curt as your guide. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

Pros: Curt, GREAT Food, Good Price!
