Chelsea Market and the High Line are two of NYC's best attractions! This food and history tour features incredible insights, delicious food (it's lunch!), and fantastic city views (think hidden gem rooftop park). Our entertaining guides bring the area's rich past to life. Though originally residential, markets have thrived here since the 1840s. By the 1930s, the Meatpacking District produced the nation’s 3rd-largest volume of dressed meats. While trendy spots now dominate, five meatpacking companies remain as the neighborhood constantly evolves. Foods and activities typically include: - Hot dogs made in-house at Dickson's Farmstand - Fresh, hot mini donuts from Doughnuttery - Japanese-Mexican fusion tacos at Takumi - Flaky eggy Portuguese tarts from Joey Bats - Pan-fried dumplings at Nom Wah - Specialty beverage to sip on the High Line Beer, wine, or happy hour sangria available (additional cost) Please note that stops are subject to change at any time.
Experience Market 57, a hidden gem on the west side! Take in sweeping skyline and river reviews and try delicious tastings from our expert guides.
Discover the art, history, design, and horticulture of the High Line! The High Line may be about two stories high—but it’s hundreds of stories deep. We will uncover its secrets and enjoy its beauty.
Hudson Yards is a bustling real estate development within Manhattan - a mini city. It is the largest private real estate development in the country. It is home to Vessel, an elaborate honeycomb-like structure that rises 16 stories and consists of 154 flights of stairs, 2,500 steps, and 80 landings for visitors to climb.

Michele did an excellent job of providing great info but didn’t overwhelm with a lot of talk. We loved it!
Great way to be introduced to Chelsea Market, Pier 57, and the Highline. Chelsea market can be very overwhelming and who wants to choose which delicious food to eat?!? Having a guide made it a fun and easy experience. Valerie was great at communicating before the tour and was very welcoming and helpful.
Jessy was great, awesome experience
Valeria was an excellent tour guide and loved seeing and learning about Chelsea and the High Line. Would have been better if we had headphones or some way to hear better. Food was all good
An excellent tour and our guide was extremely knowledgeable. We had some excellent food and learned a lot of history about the Chelsea Market.
Too crowded at Chelsea market . Did not need a guide for this tour . We nailed out after we had the taco and the. Just had half an hour to look at this market on our own
It was.very fun! Got to go through Chelsea market. The most fun was meeting people from others cities and 1 country.
Definitely go ready to eat. The portion sizes are good. The view from Peir 57 on a clear day very beautiful. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes. There is a lot of walking.
It’s a great taste of NYC and Justin was a great guide. Justin was entertaining and knowledgeable about New York, the High Line and the Chelsea
Lots of food, lots of walking, and lots of fun! Justin was a great guide...we learned about the history of Chelsea Market, the Meatpacking District and the High LIne. I recommend booking a private tour - we had five in our group and it was just right.
Our guide Jessie was very knowledgeable about the history of the food, the buildings and the whole area! She gave us a variety of food to taste and explained how they came to be in Chelsea Market. It was the perfect evening to stroll on the High Line and learn about the buildings in the area.
The Chelsea market was very interesting to explore. The food selections were delicious, with good portions, and diverse. Our guide, Justin, was very informative and nice. Walking the high line was fascinating also. Highly recommend this tour.
Justin was a great tour guide. In spite of the weather. He was well informed and interesting. My wife and I enjoyed the tour very much.
Best way to explore and learn about the market and high line. Very informative, great food and my teens loved it.
Share places I never saw before and the street food was delicious.
Perfect blend of food and history. Justin did an exceptional job! Tour did not feel rushed and the breaks were appreciated.
We had a wonderful time with Justin. He was so knowledgeable about the food and NYC. Loved all the restaurants and food we tasted! Loved walking the Highline, even in the rain. Justin pointed out architectural/art details as we were walking. It was one of the highlights of our trip! You won’t regret it.
You will see sights and taste foods you probably would not have if you were sight seeing on your own.
A chance to sample many of the foods offered in Chelsea market and the piers. Our guide did a good job of explaining why certain foods are available, how they came to be offered, as well as the history of the area
The Highline is a hidden gem in New York, great to experience it with a knowledgeable guide, Valeria.
This was such a fun tour. It really helped us to explore an area of New York we had never seen before and Meri our tour guide did an excellent job explaining the history to us and helping us see the significance of the area. Our favorite food was the Portuguese egg tart, which we had never had and probably wouldn't have tried on our own so we're so glad this tour showed them to us.
What a great food tour!! Our guide, Jessie, was entertaining, enthusiastic, and friendly. The food was delicious and plentiful so advise others to join on an empty stomach! Loved the history of Chelsea market and the High Line even on a blustery day. Highly recommend this tour!!
Perfect balance between food, history, and sightseeing. None of us had been to the area before; this was a great introduction. Jessie did an amazing job guiding us through a fire alarm in Chelsea Market and a Nor’easter blowing on the High Line. Kept it interesting for our teenagers and gave great recommendations. Highly recommend.
Very nice food tour around Chelsea market. Arrive early and enjoy the shops in the market. Lovely book shop to explore. Amazing view at pier 57, especially at sunset. Really enjoyed walking the high line and seeing all the gorgeous gardens and surrounding buildings.
Best tour operator. Jessie knows her stuff. Glad that the weather held
Excellent tour. Justin was fantastic, friendly and keep the tour moving along without rushing. Highly recommend.
This was really great. Alot of different foods to try. And everything was delicious.! Chelsea market is a really fun place to visit. Our guide , Chris, was so knowledgeable. He knew so many historical facts and tied everything together.
We got so much food and information! Worth the time and money. Our guide was very knowledgeable and made the tour great.
Chris was a great guide. The food stops were great. He explained a lot of history, made it very interesting and has a large passion for doing what he does
Great food, good way to experience the market and appreciated the chance to walk it off on the high line. Valeria did a great job dealing with challenging weather for our tour and was very supportive in guiding tour members toward their next destinations.
Food was amazing and really enjoyed different tastings around Chelsea but also getting to see quite a bit of the city and get some history behind the creation of the whole area. Justin was a great tour guide! Really loved his comedy bits throughout the history lessons he was giving. 10/10 recommend if you’re looking for a fun way to spend a few hours exploring the city with friends or family
Justin had a lot of great stories about the food and the buildings along the way. Very personable and informative and great food along the way.
Justin did an amazing job telling us so much of the history I would never have gotten on my own. The Skyline was beautiful from Albany, New York and I never even heard of the Skyline. I’m so thankful that I signed up for this. I would do it again, and I will do it again.
Great food and interesting facts about the area. Tour guide was great. I have highly recommended to my friends.
The tour was well organized and a variety of food was introduced. The high end walk with various architecture was great too. Our tour guide, Valeria was very kind and excellent. A lot of people in our tour, so, hard to listen to the tour guide who has accent with soft voice.
Thank you Jessica for a fantastic tour. Delicious, informative and fun.
Could not recommend this tour enough! I went with three coworkers, and we had such a great time walking around and tasting incredible food. Michele was fantastic! She really catered to everyone in the group and made sure to pause and explain each tasting while sharing interesting and historical facts about the places we visited. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting the city!
Start to finish the tour was perfect. Our guide Chris was knowledgeable, personable and simply entertaining. Definitely come hungry.
