Bill was an interesting guide with a good sense of humour and very passionate about NYC however I am not sure it is necessary to hire a guide to walk the highline as it is pretty much mapped out along the way and signs explain the history.
Our tour was well organized and informative. Bill, our guide, had a wealth of knowledge of the area. We have been to NY many, many times and have only taken one other tour. We will definitely call him to set up another tour when we return to NY, Thanks
This tour was an interesting look at the Chelsea neighborhood of Manhattan and the newly opened High Line Park. It should be even better after early June, 2011, when the second half of the park is expected to open.
