The High Line, aka High Line Park, is a 1.45-mile-long (2.33-km) New York City park built in Manhattan on an elevated section of old New York Central Railroad called the West Side Line. The High Line has been redesigned and planted as an aerial greenway and rails-to-trails park.
This walking tour runs the full length of the park, from the Tiffany and Co. Foundation Overlook—with a view eastward to the Meatpacking District and westward to the Whitney Museum of American Art—to the CSX Transportation Gate.
In between, there are sundecks and more overlooks to see. There’s also a two-block-long pathway that winds through a miniature forest of dogwoods, bottlebrush buckeye, hollies, roses, and other dense shrubs and trees, plus a grove of bigleaf magnolia, sassafras, and serviceberry trees. There’s even some of the wild landscape that grew up on the High Line before it was a park, like crabapple trees, asters, sedges, goldenrods, and alumroot.
On this tour, there will also be a chance to visit Pier 54, where the survivors of the Titanic arrived, and the old Nabisco factory at Chelsea Market, where the original Oreo Cookie was invented.

Came from long island, Could not find meeting place. Called listed contact who answered. I explained situation and was told I would get a call back. No one called back. Called 3 to 4 times, voice mailed. Scammer...

Nothing, guide didn’t turn up, uncles Sam’s tours didn’t even reply when I sent them a message. There is nothing else I can say.

No guide, multiple attempts to reach out and no response. First no show of over 20 Viator tours. Very disappointing!!!
Judy_B, Apr 2019
I did get a refund but no explanation. Waited around and tried to cal. Got through after about 15 minutes and get a polite refund. Pre virus experience with Viator good so disappointing

Excellent guide, Bill was informative and good company. Very much felt this was part of the 'real' New York, not the usual tourist trail!
Gary G, Dec 2016
The tour was great. Fred, our guide, was excellent and went out of his way to answer all sorts of questions and gave us good context of the geography and economic changes along the river and throughout lower Manhattan.
Elizabeth G, Oct 2016
Despite the rain we had a very enjoyable trip. The local guide Annie was great, lots of information and knowledgeable about the area. Don't bother having breakfast you can pick up some great food as the trip starts with a stroll through Chelsea market . We would recommend this as an excellent way to experience the High Line.

We met our guide on a very wet blustery sunday morning. The tour was very interesting and our guide sorry I can't remember her name was very enthusiastic about everything she showed us. A very lovely lady

Met Anni in Chelsea and had the most amazing and informative walk, she told us things and pointed out so many things that we would have missed if she hadn't been with us, she was worth every ...and as for the tip on where to go for our last night...brilliant , we had the greatest time and went out with a bang or was it a hangover?anyway it was a fantastic end to our trip...thanks..Jenni an Leahx

We loved our High Line Tour. Annie was a very knowledgeable and entertaining guide. Highly recommended - it was worthwhile to go with someone who can give you a bit of the history and some of the things to look out for along the way.
