What To Expect

Chelsea Market

Visit inside the Chelsea Market.

Meatpacking District

Enjoy commentary as your tour passes through this historic area.

Little Island

See another of NYC's uniquely innovative parks. This stunning and very popular park, sits atop the Hudson River on stilt-like "Tulip Pots". The beautiful park is relatively small at just 2.4 acres in size, and therefore, access to the park's interior is limited based upon crowd size. Although we indicate a "pass by without stopping" at this attraction, your Guide will do everything in their power to get your tour group interior access to the park, if there is availability.

The Vessel

This is an absolutely stunning piece of climbable art and architecture It is indisputably, the hottest attraction to arrive in New York City, in decades! A definite must-see as part of your tour of the High Line. Tour Guests will have a chance to view this amazing structure that begs for photos to be taken, as the tour concludes in the Hudson Yards area. You are welcome to spend as much or as little time there at tour's end. Please make sure that you bring your camera!

The High Line

Walk NYC's beautiful "Park-In-The-Sky" while your Guide provides fascinating commentary. Be sure to bring a camera as there are many great photo ops to be enjoyed.

Within the first 60 seconds of the tour, I knew Debbie was an excellent guide and was going to provide a great tour. Sure enough, it was 11 out of 10 stars! She answered every question we had, and I was so impressed by her depth of knowledge. She was both patient and flexible as we wandered off the path on occasion or slowed to take photos. Debbie's love for NY is incredibly evident, as is her love for her guests. I'm so glad to have been one of them.

Thank for taking a moment to review your High Line tour experience, with your guide, Debbie. We truly do appreciate your kind review. The High Line is one of our most sought after tours with good reason. The story of the High Line is fascinating, the structure is both beautiful and unexpected in a metropolis like New York City, and the innovative way that it was repurposed from a former freight rail into a stunning park is nothing short of amazing. We are so happy to you enjoyed your experience so much! Should you visit our City again, we would genuinely be honored to tour you through other parts of it. We hope that you'll keep us in mind. We wish you and yours a summer filled with many enjoyable experiences!
