Chelsea Market, a great tour with a great guide! - We had a great time on a tour of the Chelsea Market and High Line with Joe as our guide. This is probably the third time we do this tour, and it gets better every time, in great part, due to Joe's insights and knowledge. We visited multiple eateries in a very well constructed order, beginning with pastry and spreadable fruit at Sarabeth's and ending with Gelato. Joe brought alive the history of the Chelsea Market, giving us new tidbits about how the Market came together as one building from 17 and the past and present tenants. He answered everyone's questions, no matter how varied or unrelated, and had personal insight into "Oz" the show produced at the TV studios in the Market (he was also an actor and appeared as an extra in some of the episodes). He offered additional suggestions at the end of the tour as a true New Yorker proud of his city. I highly recommend this tour, especially if you can get Joe along as the guide!

Fun way to see Chelsea market and understand the history of the area - It was a lively walk through the market and a portion of the Highline. The tour was very context heavy, with lots of fun details about the history of the market, of the area and the vendors. In reality you don't move all that far, so it accommodated people with various levels of fitness / mobility. Our tour guide, Joe, was a font of knowledge and brought a great enthusiasm to the morning. As the food goes, there were a few standouts, especially the pizza

Excellent tour and great food! - Went on the Chelsea Market and Highline tour in December 2023 (sorry for the late review)… we had a fantastic time. Plenty of time for photos and to eat. Our guide had some fantastic stories of his time filming different tv shows there as well. It was fascinating to hear the historic story of Chelsea market as well as getting a fantastic lunch as well. Highly recommended to anyone in NYC who is looking for a great tour and some great food.

Fun, engaging and delicious - The best experience to celebrate my mom’s 70th birthday. Cindy was great, lively and engaging with fun stories and educating us on the history of Chelsea Market and the area. The food selections were eclectic and gave a great perspective of the options. I would do this again!
