Christian Neely, our fantastic tour guide, provided great insights to the early origins and historical and cultural evolution of the Chelsea Market, Meatpacking district, and the High Line through out our 2 hour walking tour. He received and responded to all questions in a thorough, enthusiastic, and respectful manner. He related very well to all participants, including 2 young boys with lots of questions. Coming from another large east coast city, Philadelphia, Christian and I shared several discussions about comparisons between similar locations in both cities. He provided a few historical insights that I had not considered previously. I would highly recommend Christian to those considering a NYC tour.
