Full description
Start your 2-hour tour in front of the world famous Chelsea Market. Spend some free time inside the market, sample baked goods and snacks and even do a little shopping. Hear about the infamous Death Avenue before heading up to The Highline, a linear park built on an elevated section of a disused New York Central Railroad spur. Enjoy fantastic views of Chelsea Piers and see where the ill-fated Titanic was meant to dock in 1912. Admire the 18-story luxury boutique Standard Hotel and other local architecture. After visiting The Highline, head into the heart of the Meatpacking District. See the Gansevoort Hotel and walk past several high-fashion flagship stores and some trendy bars.

Mooie rondleiding eindigend in de haven met een prachtig park. De gids wist echt wel waar ze over sprak. Een aanrader om het gebied op een snelle manier te leren kennen.

Das ist eine Tour, die eher von Reisenden gemacht wird, die schon öfter in New York waren. Daher nicht so oft gebucht. Gut für uns - wir hatten eine Privatführung mit Gabi.
