Overview

Fantastic views, fabulous food, and incredible architecture await you on this private tour of Manhattan’s Chelsea neighborhood and Meatpacking District!

We’ll start with an overview – literally – of Chelsea high above on New York City’s High Line. Atop this former elevated railway, enjoy views of the Hudson River and hear the story of its redevelopment as a park.

From here, our New York City walking tour enters the Chelsea Market, known for its diverse culinary offerings. With everything from artisan cheese to authentic Italian gelato, you might need to ask your guide for their top picks!

After our Chelsea Market tour segment, we’ll head to the Meatpacking District, a once-industrial warehouse district turned hip commercial area. Dip in and out of the spacious shops hinting at their former lives as slaughterhouses, or, following your tour, visit the world-renowned Whitney Museum of American Art and take a short walk to one of NYC’s most unusual river attractions, Little Island!
