Start your day by visiting the world-famous Chelsea Market, an abandoned factory that has been transformed into the city’s greatest food court. Then ascend to the High Line, a park constructed atop an elevated railway that stretches nearly a mile along the West Side. View one-of-a-kind art pieces, urban meadows, and breathtaking panoramas that weave between and among structures. Bring your camera with you!
We’ll next drive south, where your guide will show you around the Meatpacking District. The 1980s counterculture recaptured this industrial region, which was eventually recovered by New York’s wealthy elite. Admire some of Manhattan’s most iconic buildings, such as Frank Gehry’s glittering glass curtain design for the IAC Building and the Empire State Building, a classic art deco skyscraper.
You’ll hear stories of mansions destroyed in New York’s real estate boom, architecture saved almost by accident and a city that’s constantly changing itself as you walk. Observe the ever-evolving identity of New York City in this neighborhood in flux.

FAQs
How much walking is there?
There are 2-3 miles of walking at a leisurely pace. If you’re traveling with a stroller or wheelchair, the High Line also includes elevator access instead of stairs. However, the elevator may or may not be functional. If mobility is an issue, you can also book a private tour.
Can I do the SoHo, Little Italy, Chinatown Walking Tour at 12 p.m. after this tour?
Yes, you’ll have enough time to travel from this tour to the SoHo, Little Italy, Chinatown Walking Tour. This trip will end at 11:30 a.m. Take the C or E subway two stops to Spring Street, where the SoHo, Little Italy, and Chinatown Walking Tour starts. Please do not hesitate to seek assistance from your guide.
What is the rescheduling policy?
We are aware that plans might change. You may easily change your tour up to 24 hours before departure. We provide a 100% refund up to 24 hours before the start of your tour. Within 24 hours of your tour, we would have incurred hard costs and therefore cannot allow rescheduling or cancellation without costs.
