Wonderful tour - Peter was a great guide today, told us many interesting facts. He did a nice job of improvising when he realized the High Line was closed in certain sections.

High Line, Chelsea Market and Meat Packing District - Peter Sullivan was our tour guide and was excellent throughout. He was there on time to greet us and immediately made us feel welcome. He was knowledgeable about all of the areas, sprinkling in personal anecdotes and recommendations. The whole tour was delivered with a great sense of humour which really added to the enjoyment. I would highly recommend.

Isa — The Best of the Best - On July 9, 2024, my family took the High Line — Chelsea — Meatpacking District Neighborhood Tour. We booked through GoCity. Isa was by far our ***FAVORITE*** tour guide while in New York (and we had four *excellent* tour guides!!!)!!! Her energy and enthusiasm were infectious. Her knowledge and recommendations were super insightful. The small photo album she carried around and displayed was helpful to see how much things have changed over the years. Isa truly was the best of the best!

Dave - our amazing guide for the High Line our - Dave was an amazing guide. The fact that he lived a block away from the tour meeting point was just cherry on the cake. Dave was kind, knowledgeable and patient. Three things that stand out about Dave: 1. He brought a "shareable" ice pack that we used to cool off through out the 90+ mins tour in the hot weather. Shows he is kind and thoughtful. 2. He helped answer every question - whether it was related to the tour or general ideas about NYC visit. Shows he is a holistic individual. 3. He made sure all the tour members were OK when he wanted to wait extra 5 minutes for a group that was running late. Again shows he is patient and pragmatic. Overall, the tour was structured well and Dave was the perfect guide to provide us the best experience!

Good introduction to the area - This was a good introduction to the area. Kendra was professional and informative. She included relevant information about history, but also some personal input. I liked the tour, but I think younger children would be a little restless on the tour. I would suggest for 16+. The high line had many flowers when I visited and many photo opportunities. It was interesting to hear about the history of the disused train line. The Chelsea Market was interesting and offered a clean bathroom option. My only criticism is that not everything was open when we went to the markets and there wasn’t enough time to explore and purchase. However, it is easy to go back and visit another time. I highly recommend also walking the highline late in the afternoon/ early evening in hot weather as there is some shade. It is easy to navigate the area by yourself, if you wish.

Informative tour at a good pace - Our tour guide Kendra was informative and kept the tour moving at a good pace. It was great to see the Highline and learn about the area’s history. There were plenty of opportunities to sit down and we managed to stay in the shade for most of the tour, which was great on such a hot day.

A gem in the middle of Manhattan - Loved the tour of the Chelsea Market and Highline. The guide definitely knew his stuff. The Highline was absolutely beautiful, hard to believe it was in the middle of Manhattan! The Market is a gem you cannot miss
