New York City High Line and Chelsea Tour

This 2-hour guided tour offers a unique opportunity to explore three distinct areas of New York City: the High Line, the Hudson River waterfront, and Chelsea.
Starting on the High Line, you’ll stroll through a beautifully landscaped park that was once an elevated freight railway. As you walk, your guide will share the fascinating history of how the rail line served the industrial needs of the Meatpacking District and West Chelsea before its transformation into one of NYC’s most beloved green spaces.

Moving toward the Hudson River, you’ll hear stories of New York’s maritime history and how the river has shaped the city's economic and social development. From colonial trade routes to modern waterfront parks, discover how this iconic river has influenced NYC’s growth and remains a lifeline for commerce, recreation, and culture.

Your journey concludes in Chelsea, a neighborhood known for its cutting-edge art galleries, trendy boutiques, and historic buildings
