チェルシーとハイラインのNYC建築ウォーキングツアー

This tour was amazing as well as Ivan, our tour guide. Very knowledge and approachable. Ivan answered all the questions our students had about New York construction, developers, architects and so much more. The day was absolutely beautiful and all of us could not have enjoyed the experience any better.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We absolutely loved our High Line tour with Ivan from Build.com. He was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and just genuinely enjoyable to spend time with. He brought the history, architecture, and transformation of the High Line and the surrounding neighborhoods to life and pointed out so many things we never would have noticed on our own. Ivan also shared that he had recently become a father, and it was obvious how proud and excited he was about his new baby. That warmth and enthusiasm really came through in his personality and made the tour feel especially personal. This ended up being one of the highlights of our time in New York. If you’re considering a High Line tour, ask for Ivan. You’ll be in excellent hands!

I am going into school for architecture next year. Our guide Ivan, provided an experience that I won’t forget, going into detail and really explaining the evolution and future of the high line.

We took the Chelsea/High Line tour with Ivan. It’s not often that you can book a tour with a guide who has Ivan’s experience and knowledge. We took our grandson, who will be starting his studies of architecture in August. Ivan provided information and details about some of the buildings that parallel the High Line, along with the history of this area of lower Manhattan. The history can explain how some of the architecture came about. We all learned so much in the time we spent on the tour, and we were already discussing taking another after our grandson’s first year of study. We gave this tour 5 stars, but would give more if it were an option. Thanks Ivan!

Without question, this was most impactful tour I've ever taken in New York City. (We actually completed 2 different tours with Ivan). What made it exceptional wasn't just the depth of architectural knowledge—it was the way Ivan, our guide, completely changed how I see the city. I now notice the history, design, and stories behind buildings I had walked past countless times before. His impressive professional and academic background is evident throughout the tour. As a professor of architecture at Columbia University, he combines extraordinary expertise with a genuine passion for teaching. His enthusiasm is contagious, making complex ideas engaging and accessible to everyone. I took the tour with my boyfriend's daughter, who is studying architecture in Europe. He was incredibly generous in offering advice and encouragement as she continues her studies, a kindness that speaks volumes about his dedication to mentoring future architects. This was so much more than a tour—it was an inspiring experience that has forever changed the way I experience New York City. I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Good trip! It's my first time going through the entire High Line.

It was very interesting and insightful experience! Highly recommend. Thank you Ivan.

For a long time, I wanted to explore the city in a different way since I’ve been in New York for about 13 years and finally, I found the best way to do it and that was through Ivan’s architecture/history tour, it is amazing to go over the landmarks and the history of NYC with someone as knowledgeable as Ivan, the highline tour was incredible, I had no idea how important it was for the economy of the country, and also it was funny the story about the West side Cowboys. I highly recommend this store for anyone interested in knowing in deep the history of this amazing city.

We had a fantastic tour with Ivan who was knowledgeable, funny, and even incorporated new details into the tour moulded to our interests. Although we are architectural laymen, the tour was informative and nothing went over our heads; Ivan ensured that both experts and newbies were accommodated alike. If we had more time in the city we would've have certainly booked onto another tour. A great way to see the city from a series of different perspectives.

This is the fourth tour I have done with BuildTours in NYC. Ivan is so knowledgeable and passionate about sharing his knowledge about the history of the area, the HighLine, the buildings around it, their respective architects and pertinent aspects of construction and planning permission details for those that are interested. He very much tailors the contents to the tour group which is why they are small. I had done the HighLine before but I got do much more out of it this time before it having been a busier time of day. Will be back again for sure when next in NYC.
