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.

What an amazing trip this was! We were so lucky to have Debbie. She was brilliant and so informative. The experience started off the day before when we recived an email to confirm our booking and to warn us to wrap up warm as it was expected to be a chilly day the next day. Debbie was waiting for us when we arrived with a huge smile and gave us such a warm welcome. We started of with a thorough tour of Chelsea Market first and then went straight on to the amazing High Line. Debbie had so much knowledge and information about the whole tour and took some amazing photos of us. You could tell she was very passionate about the High Line with all the information we were given and we are so pleased we booked it as a tour. We were lucky to be the only 2 on this tour and even though it was for 2 hours out trip lasted at least 3 hours! At the end Debbie asked where we were going to next and as she was free she accompanied us on our next stop to the Empire State Building where we had a private tour from her. Someone was looking over us that day. The whole experience was amazing and it was made extra special by having Debbie.
