What To Expect
Chelsea Market
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.

5.00We 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!!!
WONDERFUL CHELSEA MARKET AND HIGHLINE TOUR

5.00We 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.

5.00It 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...
100% recommended
