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.

Excellent tour and guide. I am a Native New Yorker and this was my first tour of the High Line. Toured the Chelsea area and walked the High Line. Learned a lot about history, architecture and the plants. Debbie is very knowledgeable and friendly. A great host. Highly recommended.

Amazing tour with a passionate New Yorker who was filled with information from the start to the end. I learnt so much and Debbie made it all interesting and fun. She also knew the best photo shots. Forget the bus tours and do this one!

Me and my family had the privilege of getting toured with Debbie M. She was very knowledgeable and provided as much information as she can about the history of Chelsea/High Line Park. Debbie was also very considerate with our personal needs (bathroom breaks, walking stops, family photos) and made sure that we were all accommodated properly. Highly recommend this tour as more people should attend it: Chelsea is a treasure trove of history and it really brings out a lot about New York's past and progress, especially once you see the park and the highline. You will definitely get all your money's worth since I personally think it is better to tour these hotspots with a professional guide to highlight the background of the attractions.
