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.

I will always remember how horrible our guide, Jessie, was. I’ve been on many tours and you wait until everyone is together before you talk to them. She would just tell the person who was closest about certain buildings, etc. while the rest of the group was lagging behind. Also the Tahini sample was pitiful. I have had tours at Chelsea market twice before, over the years, and this was by far the worse. We went to ten different tastings and the owners of the shop would talk to us and explain about their products, etc. we also got to to the third floor so “see” the food network. I know you are not permitted In. I could go on and on but I’ve said enough.

Hi Dorothy, We are very sorry that you did not enjoy the experience. We normally receive excellent reviews so not sure what happened here. I have shared your feedback with the tour guide. We will make sure the stops are engaging with the customers as they normally do. Some days the market is busier than others, so a lot of personalized attention can be tough. But we appreciate the feedback as 100% customer satisfaction is very important to us, especially since we are a small business.
