What To Expect

Chelsea Market

Chelsea Market and the High Line are two of NYC's best attractions! This food and history tour features incredible insights and stories as well as some delicious food and fantastic NYC views. Plus, our tour guides are truly entertaining and it's enough food for lunch! Did you know that although the area was originally residential, markets have existed in the district since the 1840s. People moved into tenements in the Meatpacking District in the 1820s to escape epidemics in what was then the main part of New York. In 1900, 250 slaughterhouses and packing plants filled the area; and by the 1930s, those houses produced the nation’s 3rd-largest volume of dressed meats. Five meatpacking companies still operate in the district. Boutiques and bars are more common than rump roasts these days, and the neighborhood continues to evolve almost daily. Foods and activities on the tour include: • Slice of Sicilian style pizza from Filaga • VIP pastry sampler at Las Delicias Patisserie (gluten free & vegan available!) • Doughnuttery doughnut • Little 'witch from Fat Witch Bakery • Seed + Mill halva • Zach & Zoe honey • How hot can you go?! Guided hot sauce tasting by a hot sauce "sommelier" • Brief shopping adventure with introduction and tote bag at Artists & Fleas • Beer, wine or $5 sangria available (additional cost) Please be aware that stops are subject to change at any time.

The High Line

Discover the art, history, design, and horticulture of the High Line! The High Line may be about two stories high—but it’s hundreds of stories deep. We will uncover its secrets and enjoy its beauty.

Hudson Yards

Hudson Yards is a brand new real estate development within Manhattan - a mini city. It is the largest private real estate development in the country. It is home to Vessel, an elaborate honeycomb-like structure that rises 16 stories and consists of 154 flights of stairs, 2,500 steps, and 80 landings for visitors to climb.

Our guide, Harry from Dublin, was gracious and knowledgeable. The market is incredible ...a must see. The tour of the Market was not taxing. The foods sampled were a great variety and delicious. The Highline tour very interesting, but could be a bit long for some, especially if hot weather.Lots of steps. A beautiful clever reuse. Wonderful tour.3 hours.

Our tour guide was awesome! He had so much information to share . The food was beyond my expectations, definitely more than enough and it was so great learning about the different foods and regions they came from, as well as learning about the High Line and the different architecture of surrounding buildings.

I've done lots of guided tours in lots of different cities and this was in my top 3 ever. The food choices were great and ranged from the quintessential NYC pizza to very unique Japanese tacos. Every selection was delicious and the places were interesting. But what makes an interesting tour great and memorable is the guide and David was one of the best I've ever seen. He got to know everyone quickly and engaged everyone with curiosity and humor. It was fascinating to watch him figure out how to keep everyone across all ages and backgrounds interested. With most tours, even the really good ones, by then end I'm ready for it to be over. With this one I could have spent the rest of the day. I can't say enough good things - just book this one and ask for David.
