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 very knowledgeable about the area and the architecture, she was a funny and engaging guide, she made the tour extra interesting by having a series of photos showing how the area used to be. I also thought it was a nice touch that she knew all the best photo spots and how best to take them We learned and saw so much more than we ever would have done if we had just walked the High Line on our own Thank you Debbie for helping us make some great memories.

Debbie M is a licensed NYC tour guide who gave our group an amazing tour of Little Island Park, the Highline, including, a trip up to the Edge Observation Deck. She has a wealth of knowledge about city architecture, city history and flora. Debbie is witty and charming.

We appreciate the time that you've taken to write a review of your private tour experience. High Line Park and Little Island Park are some NYC's hottest destinations when it comes to touring NYC, on foot. Chelsea and the former freight line are steeped in history and the touring route offers extraordinary water and cityscape views that are especially appreciated by those wishing to capture memories photographically. We were happy to add a visit to the Edge Observatory to your private tour, as well. Please keep us in mind the next time that you visit New York City as we'd be honored to serve you again.

We had an almost confidential tour (two European couples) of the highline and the meatpacking district with Debbie, which we are unlikely to forget. Great tour, great guide, great views, great photos, great discussions for history & architecture lovers : what's not to like indeed ?!!!
