Thinking of gifting the Secrets of Hudson Yards tour!

Hey everyone! I’m considering this cool Secrets of Hudson Yards tour for my partner's birthday. I read it’s led by Matthew LaSpata and includes some pretty neat behind-the-scenes stories about the area. Anyone done this yet? I'm curious about the pace of the tour and what kind of things we should expect to see.

Just got back from the Secrets of Hudson Yards tour—so good!

I just did the Secrets of Hudson Yards tour last weekend, and wow! Matthew was such a great guide, and I learned so much about the history behind Hudson Yards and some of its crazy architecture. The Vessel looks even more impressive up close! I highly recommend it if you’re into architecture or just love NYC!
