Overview
Smaller-sized groups. Perfect for tourists AND locals New Yorkers too!
Learn lots of secrets about New York City's "Park in the Sky" and its surrounding neighborhoods. Built upon a historic freight rail line erected above the streets on Manhattan's West Side, the High Line has become a major draw for tourists and locals alike. This fun, two-hour guided walking tour includes a visit to Chelsea Market; the chic gastro haven was once the home of Nabisco, the birthplace of the Oreo cookie. Meandering the entire length of the unique and stunning elevated public park, you'll take in breathtaking views of NYC from an entirely new perspective. You'll learn all sorts of area "secrets" through engaging narration throughout your tour. The tour covers the High Line's past and present, its art and area galleries, its horticulture, its surrounding neighborhoods, visible iconic buildings, future developmental plans and the latest cutting-edge architecture sprouting up all around the High Line.

Stop 3
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.

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!
