Q&A

Q: What's the best time of year to do the High Line tour? Is it worth it in winter?

A: The High Line is beautiful year-round, but I’d recommend spring or fall for the best weather and scenery. Winter can be chilly, but it’s less crowded. Just be sure to bundle up if you go then! You can always listen to the tour from home too if it’s too cold out.

Q: Can I do this tour with kids? Are there age limits?

A: Totally! There’s no age limit for the tour, and kids usually love the stories and sights. Plus, since it’s self-guided, you can go at your own pace. Just keep an eye on them near the edges since it’s elevated.

Q: How does the GPS work on the app? Does it get confusing?

A: The GPS is pretty straightforward! It tracks your location and plays audio automatically as you approach different points. I had no issues following it. Just make sure you have good signal or download it for offline use before you go!

Just did the High Line self-guided tour and loved it!

I recently booked the High Line audio tour and it was such a cool experience! I started at the Gansevoort entrance and took my time, listening to all those amazing stories about the park's history. The views were incredible too! I went on a Saturday morning, and it wasn’t too packed. Definitely recommend for anyone who loves a little history while walking in a beautiful setting.

Considering gifting the High Line tour, any thoughts?

I'm thinking about getting the High Line audio tour for my parents' anniversary. They love NYC and exploring new places. Has anyone done this as a gift? How did they like it? Any tips for making it special?
