Itinerary
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.
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 brand new 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.

Sergio was an excellent tour guide for my group of friends, 8 mature women. We experienced the right amount of food, sights, history, walking and enjoying NYC. I would recommend both the company and the guide!
Thank you for touring with us! We’re so happy your group had such a great private experience with Sergio and that the pacing felt just right. Glad it was a perfect mix of food, sights, history, and walking. We truly appreciate the recommendation and would love to host you and your friends again anytime you’re back in NYC.

Patrik, Thank you for the kind words! We’re so happy you enjoyed the food and found Justin knowledgeable and engaging throughout the tour. We truly appreciate your recommendation.
Excellent trip with very informative guide! Would definitely recommend as we seen and visited places that we wouldn’t have normally found. Our guide Sergio was very knowledgeable and very informative about all the places we visited.
Thanks for your kind words! It is wonderful to hear that your Private Chelsea Market and High Line Food Tour exceeded your expectations. We love that you got to see and visit "hidden places" you wouldn't have found otherwise. That's what a local tour is all about. We hope to welcome you back again soon!
We had a great time with Sergio on our food tour! We learned so much and my team enjoyed it! I would 100% recommend like a local tours! Truly a special time and some great views of the city!
That is fantastic news! It sounds like Sergio was the perfect guide to lead your private team food tour through Chelsea Market and the High Line. We are thrilled to hear your whole team enjoyed it and that you experienced some great views of the city!
We had an excellent tour guide, Sergio. What a jewel this company has in this young man. He's super enthusiastic, very knowledgeable, and loves to engage with his guests on the tour. He ensured everyone was thoroughly happy and was able to see as much as we could. The food selections were all perfect, we had a great time meeting new people, and would definitely recommend this tour service. Will MOST certainly visit Chelsea Market again now that we "get" the historical significance and the hype of this soecial place!!!
Thank you for the wonderful 5-star review! We're so glad you had such an excellent experience on the tour. We couldn't agree more. Sergio truly is a gem, and we're proud to have him on our team. We'll be sure to pass along your kind words about his enthusiasm, knowledge, and engaging personality. Making sure everyone feels happy and included is what he does best! It's fantastic that you enjoyed the food selections and the chance to meet new people. We love to hear that the tour gave you a deeper appreciation for Chelsea Market's historical significance. We hope you join us again soon!
We absolutely loved this tour...Our tour guide, Michelle, was full of interesting information about these sites. She was passionate about New York and radiated her enthusiasm. Chelsea Market is a cornucopia of international culinary delights. We were able to sample many delicious treats so do not eat before or plan to lunch after the tour. Highline Park is most interesting and an intersection of local plant life and art really seated upon an architectural wonder. Like A Local Tours is a women-owned company, which we love supporting. Definitely take this NYC tour!! Afterwards, if time permits, visit Little Island. This is a short walk from where the tour ends in Hudson Yards and it will be well worth your time.....it's a unique respite from the hum of NYC streets.
Thank you again for the fantastic reviews! We’re so glad you loved the tour and had a great experience with Michele. And great tip about Little Island—such a perfect way to wrap up the day. Hope to see you on another tour soon!
Excellent tour provided by Justin Food was amazing, was good to discover some nice food places trusted by locals High line walk was also excellent
We are thrilled to hear that you had a wonderful time exploring the vibrant atmosphere of Chelsea Market and strolling along the High Line! Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us.
This was terrific team building event. They were accommodating to our special requests and also gave us a great private tour. Our tour guide had a lot of energy ,,, and really helped make the evening special.
We sincerely appreciate your time in leaving us this 5-star review! Your positive feedback means a lot to us, and we're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour. We look forward to having you join us for more incredible experiences in the future!
It was plenty of food. Good amount of time. Nice to walk on high line after eating so much. Some of the relationships with vendors seemed unsure, so it was awkward when we had our "30min free time" & were told to go get a free flight. Maybe this was bc guide was new...
Thank you for leaving us a 5 star review! We're sorry there may have been some confusion on the tour, however we build in a 20 minute break to the tours so you have a chance to visit some of the amazing shops in the market that would otherwise be missed if you were with the guide the whole time. So happy you enjoyed the walk along the High Line!
Great experience, the food was superb and our guide Justin was the best. I cant wait to try the other tours made by Like a Local Tours
Thank you for this fantastic review! We hope to have you on another tour in the future!
