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.

And you're right,...views of the City from the High Line Park greenway ARE amazing as is the architecture that surrounds this coveted space! The High Line and its surrounding neighborhoods are constantly evolving. Should you tour the park again at some future date, your High Line walk will likely offer a somewhat different experience than the one you've already enjoyed with your Guide. It was our pleasure to serve you.

Our favorite part of this tour was strolling the Hi-line, learning the history of the area, enjoying the diverse horticulture and the beautiful new areas of developments, condos ect. Deb was a great storyteller and gave a very informative tour.
