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.

The High Line walking tour was not only beautiful, but Debbie gave us so many interesting facts and “secrets” about the history and those who influenced how the High Line came about. She made us laugh and gave us more than our money’s worth! This woman has many talents and a heart of Gold! Highly recommend for anyone who wants an amazing authentic New Tirk experience!

Our tour guide Debbie is an expert; outstanding and passionate, informative, engaging and entertaining. The day’s itinerary was very well thought out, combining leisure time with activity and not to be missed opportunities. For example, whilst walking the New York Highline we walked through Chelsea market and Debbie brought the tour to s close by giving us the opportunity to see and climb the new “Vessel” building, now resplendent in Hudson Yards. Debbie’s attention to detail is second to none. I would highly recommend this tour guide to anyone wanting a fun, relaxed and educational experience.

We thoroughly enjoyed this tour. We started in the Chelsea Market before the crowds converged, working our way over to the High-Line. Debbi is knowledgable and fun, mixing in a bit of history and pop culture with the landmarks. The high line itself is an amazing testament to those looking to create green space in the city with spectacular architecture along the route, an easy walk ending at Hudson Yards. Debbie our Guide was knowledgable and personable with that NY attitude that made the tour fun. So glad we booked this!
