Explore Manhattan’s High Line, Chelsea, and the Meatpacking District on a private 2-hour walk with a local guide.

About this tour

Discover a transformed stretch of Manhattan on a 2-hour New York Meatpacking District, Chelsea Market, and High Line Walking Tour. Leave the bustle of Times Square behind and explore neighborhoods where industrial history meets contemporary city life.

Walk the High Line, a former railway now raised above the streets as a greenway, with views of the city and Hudson River. Then wander through the Meatpacking District and Chelsea, taking in their galleries, restaurants, and striking modern architecture as your local guide shares how this once-industrial waterfront became one of New York’s most stylish and culturally dynamic areas. Along the way, you’ll have the chance to try local cuisine at your own expense, though food vendors are not guaranteed to be open.

This private New York Meatpacking District, Chelsea Market, and High Line Walking Tour offers an engaging way to see a different side of Manhattan. Wear comfortable walking shoes, and book your tour to explore the city on foot.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 4.94 from 32 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 7.9. Top 18% in New York City means it ranks in the top 18% of tours in New York City by this score.
