Walk the High Line from the Meatpacking District to Hudson Yards on a private tour with a local guide and a group of up to 10.
About this tour
Follow Manhattan’s west side from its historic Meatpacking District to the bold skyline of Hudson Yards on a private New York High Line and Hudson Yards walking tour. Along the way, discover how an elevated freight railway became one of the city’s most popular parks, where greenery and art share the route above the streets.
Your local guide brings the neighborhood’s past into view with historic photos as you walk north. Take in historic architecture alongside striking modern designs by Frank Gehry, Zaha Hadid, Bjarke Ingels, and other architects. At Hudson Yards, see the Vessel, the Shed, and some of New York City’s tallest skyscrapers, while exploring the city’s largest private real estate development.
With a private group capped at 10 people, the walk offers a more personal way to experience this changing stretch of Manhattan. Meet outside the Apple Store on West 14th Street, then set out for a two-hour journey from old rail lines to a new urban landmark. Book your New York High Line and Hudson Yards walking tour to see the city’s past and future side by side.

How this score is calculated
This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.86 from 21 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.
How the score works and rating distribution in New York City
- Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
- Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
- Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
- The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.3. Top 37% in New York City means it ranks in the top 37% of tours in New York City by this score.
