Highlights
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.

Itinerary
Visit inside the Chelsea Market.
Enjoy commentary as your tour passes through this historic area.
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.
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!
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.

About New York City
New York City packs skyscrapers, famous museums, Broadway theatres and dozens of distinct neighbourhoods into five boroughs that hum day and night.
Manhattan is the classic first stop. Times Square glows above the theatre district, Central Park stretches for blocks between the Upper East and Upper West Sides, and the Empire State Building, the Chrysler Building and Rockefeller Center define the midtown skyline. Downtown, the 9/11 Memorial, Wall Street and the Brooklyn Bridge sit close together, and boats run out past the Statue of Liberty to Ellis Island.
Top-ranked sights in New York City: Statue of Liberty, Central Park, National September 11 Memorial & Museum.
