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.

Debbie was great. Very knowledgeable. We started at Chelsea Market, went to little island and then walked the high line from the meatpacking area to Hudson yards. Debbie told us about the architecture and the people. She took several pictures for us. We would highly recommend this walking tour.

The High Line and it’s History go way back to the 1920ts. Although supposed to be demolished it was saved by 2 guys who had a vision. Lots of history over the years!

Debbie M. was our tour guide and she was absolutely amazing! Her knowledge of the city, the architecture, the High Line and overall history of the area was outstanding. Probably the best city tour I have ever had. I highly recommend requesting Debbie M. if you are able to do so. I learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed myself, and my 13-year-old niece was completely in awe! Not easy to do! :-)

What a kind review! We are always excited to learn that we have delivered yet another quality experience for one of our customers. Reviews are an important way for prospective Guests to gauge the caliber of an experience before they decide to book it for themselves. Thank you so very much for taking the time to review yours. It was our sincere pleasure to serve you and we hope that we will have a future opportunity to do so, again. If your in NYC, perhaps you'll keep us in mind for one of our Holiday Lights tours which begin in December. Without exaggeration, they're pretty darn fabulous! From our family to yours, we wish you all the best and a safe and happy everyday!
