Full description
On this 2-hour guided tour you’ll take a walk through the High Line, New York’s only elevated park. The 1-mile-long linear park was created on a section of the former elevated New York Central Railroad on Manhattan’s west side. Stroll through the Chelsea neighborhood from a unique vantage point, treading along the path once traversed by fire-breathing locomotives! Enjoy surprising views of the Hudson River. The tour begins at the famous Chelsea marketplace and a visit to an art gallery may be included. Walk through former factories and warehouses, where trains would unload their goods right inside the building. Hear stories about the famous Meatpacking District and how it was transformed from rows of slaughterhouses to one of the most chic neighborhoods in the world. See amazing architecture ranging from the ultramodern Standard Hotel and the undulating glass curtain design of the IAC building to the Art Deco-era Empire State Building.

We had a great time on our tour. Ellen was super knowledgeable and made the tour really interesting. It was just the right amount of information with lots of interesting facts and anecdotes. We had walked the High Line several times in the past but will now enjoy it with new appreciation. I highly recommend this tour.

I loved the tour ❤️ Excellent! Our guide Peter was charming, informative, energetic and humorous. I could project the Meatpacking district in the past and its development based on his stories. He was very insightful with many clever remarks on certain events. I would highly recommend the tour and ask for Peter as your guide.

The tour was very informative. Maki, our tour guide, was excellent. He was full of interesting facts and full of energy as well. You could tell he really enjoys his job! Would recommend to all. We did a private tour of only the 4 of us and it was well worth the extra money.
