Smaller-sized groups. Perfect for tourists AND locals New Yorkers too! Learn lots of secrets about New York City's "Park in the Sky" and its surrounding neighborhoods. Built upon a historic freight rail line erected above the streets on Manhattan's West Side, the High Line has become a major draw for tourists and locals alike. This fun, two-hour guided walking tour includes a visit to Chelsea Market; the chic gastro haven was once the home of Nabisco, the birthplace of the Oreo cookie. Meandering the entire length of the unique and stunning elevated public park, you'll take in breathtaking views of NYC from an entirely new perspective.  You'll learn all sorts of area "secrets" through engaging narration throughout your tour. The tour covers the High Line's past and present, its art and area galleries, its horticulture, its surrounding neighborhoods, visible iconic buildings, future developmental plans and the latest cutting-edge architecture sprouting up all around the High Line.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this tour? Can kids join?

A: No specific age limit! Kids are welcome to join the tour, but I'd say it's best for kids around 10 and older who can walk for about 2 hours. Just keep an eye on them since the High Line can get busy. Plus, I think they’d have a blast learning about the Oreo’s birthplace at Chelsea Market!

Q: What should I wear for this walking tour? Any tips?

A: Comfortable shoes are a must! You’ll be walking a lot on the High Line and Chelsea Market. Dress in layers since it can get windy up there. I recommend checking the weather too, just in case it rains. A light jacket and a hat are great options!

Q: What happens if it rains? Can you reschedule?

A: If it rains, the tour usually gets rescheduled. They’ll contact you to arrange another date. Just keep an eye on the weather when booking, since NYC weather can be unpredictable! You could also check with My NY Tours directly for their specific rescheduling policy.

Just did the Secrets of the High Line tour - so cool!

I went on the Secrets of the High Line tour last weekend, and it was awesome! Our guide was super knowledgeable—she shared so many hidden gems about the area that I never knew. Walking through Chelsea Market was a highlight; I even got an Oreo cookie from the original Nabisco spot! The views from the High Line are insane. If you're in NYC or planning to visit, this is a must-do!

Considering gifting the High Line tour for my parents!

I'm thinking about getting the Secrets of the High Line tour for my mom and dad. They love exploring the city but can be picky about tours. Does anyone know if it's easy for them to keep up? They’re both in decent shape but like to take their time.
