What To Expect
1
Chelsea Market
Visit inside the Chelsea Market.
2
Meatpacking District
Enjoy commentary as your tour passes through this historic area.
3
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!
5
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.

It was an absolute pleasure to have each of you with us to explore one of NYC's hottest attractions. We truly appreciate your kind review and the fact that you've taken the time from your busy day to let other potential tour guests know of your positive experiences of your High Line tour. We would love to have you join us again sometime for another of our offered tours. We hope that you will keep us in mind.

I am so pleased I took a guided tour of the High Line. Debbie was a wealth of knowledge and her friendly and informative commentary meant that we learned so much about what we were looking at. I see why the tour commenced at 8am, it gets busy up there, but at this ttime of the morning, we had time to pause and enjoy the route without the crowds. The tour started in Chelsea market and the meat packing district, before we walked the whole of the High Line. Debbie was able to show us photos of the interiors of some of the newly constructed buildings - we now know what $8 million buys you! We had a throughly enjoyable morning with Debbie, who ended the tour with tickets for The Vessel at Hudson's Yard, a real bonus. I highly recommend this tour.
