This tour was a wonderful experience. I learned so much about the history of NYC and about this brilliant urban renewal and artistic project. Hats off to Jeffrey who was a warm and knowledgeable guide. I enjoyed this tour very much and highly recommend it.

Surprisingly we enjoyed this, started at Hudson Yards and walked only a short distance but it was refreshing. It is hidden in between housing and businesses. Some very expensive looking properties. It is a great place to get away from the hectic NYC.

Very informative; learned so much! Easy walking. Group was not too big (7). Always able to hear our guide. I would definitely use this tour company again.

Excellent tour. The guide was very well educated on the areas we were seeing and used photos to enhance his presentations on the historical aspects of the places we visited. He also answered every question wonderfully.

What an enriching experience to have a tour guide! Great historic photos and information. The guide was wonderful. He pointed out views that we had missed in the past. We now have a full appreciation of the Highline and surrounding area.

New York never ceases to amaze me and the High Line Walking Tour is an excellent way to see the city's West Side from the height of a rail bridge. Here, there are floral arrangements in a garden-like setting that is a treat from the grit of the concrete city. Plants aplenty along with the flowers make this is a delightful walk. The best walk is to head south from Hudson Yards and head for the trendy Meatpacking District taking in the street life along the way.

Very interesting plus the tour guide was excellent. We were especially interested in the History of the area which the tour guide explained very well...

Great way to take in the city. We started with lunch at Bubby's which is at the start of the High Line. Fantastic food! Then we were able to walk off the calories on this elevated, artsy walk along the forgotten railroad tracks. The transformation is well done. We only did a one way trip because we wanted to end up at the Vessel.

We enjoyed our walking tour of Highline Park and Hudson Yards with Jeremy. he was very informed and interesting. Because the day was cloudy with a threat of rain the other couple backed out and we ended up with a private tour. I had never been to Highline park and was amazed at what they have done with this area as well and all the new construction at Hudson yards. Would recommend this tour to anyone there is a lot of walking involved but very enjoyable.

I enjoyed the Highline so much and I love how this space was repurposed. First, pleasant surprise, it is ADA accessible with elevators to get up and down if you can't take stairs. The path is smooth and appropriate for wheelchairs. There are lots of benches on the path if you need a break. I enjoyed that the path goes in and out of shady green spaces and has a food market stop around half-way along. You can see so much amazing architecture from this vantage point and will definitely want your camera. You can start or end at Hudson yards or the Whitney museum and get off at several points. Supposedly there are restrooms at Gansevoort and at 16th, but we never saw signs and didn't know when we were at those crossroads. The only way they could improve the Highline is to add restroom signage at those points to direct people accordingly.
