The high line tour we took with Steve was hands-down the best area tour I’ve taken in my 70+ years. He gave us the expected facts and history and also wove in his personal perspective as a longtime resident of the area, bringing the landscape to life by talking about how the various changes over the years affected him and his neighbors.
Great views. Definitely worth to come back again.
We found Steve very knowledgeable and we thoroughly enjoyed this tour
Jason was extremely knowledgeable and engaging with the small group he was hosting. He was able to quickly troubleshoot and solve an issue with my tickets and the internet.
Steve was an awesome local tour guide. Makes a huge difference being a local vs. a prepared script. Loved the history of Hell‘s Kitchen . 😀
Thank you for your wonderful feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed exploring Hell’s Kitchen with Steve. His local perspective and passion for the neighborhood really do make the experience feel authentic and engaging. We appreciate your kind words and are happy to hear you loved the history shared along the way!
Steve was great. He provided both local knowledge and history of Hudson Yards.
Justin was a knowledgeable guide for our tour of Hudson Yards. We learned a lot about the area. We’d recommend this tour to others.
Review highline tour: fun interesting facts about the neighborhood. Nice, humorous guide. Definitely recommended.
1,5 hour tour with Justin was just great! I did it with Go City all-inclusive pass. Although it was just me and the family from Brazil during the NY deep freeze, he catered for all our needs. I've learnt a lot about the crazy ideas for the development of this trendy NYC neighborhood as well as its present state of affairs. It's really insightful to know what's behind those shiny, sky-high, glass and steel structures. Our guide was not only extremely eloquent and friendly, but he was also thoughtful enough to give us the metric system measurements to understand the scope of the development. On top of that, at the end of the tour, he offered to take some photos and mine was so good that it now serves as my Facebook profile portrait. Thank you, Justin!
Great tour with Justin! Informative and just the right tour length — thanks for sharing more about this area of town. It was great!
