Chelsea Tours and Tickets
An artsy neighborhood central to New York City’s LGBTQ culture, Chelsea has lost its edginess in recent years but makes up for it with chic restaurants, galleries, and boutiques. A top destination is the High Line—an elevated park built on an old rail line—which is well worth a West Side visit.

A great tour
Maki was so great and fun. He was so animated and explained so much about the neighborhoods and the history of the area. I had a smile on my face the whole 2 hours. We really enjoyed the Meatpacking district and how it has developed into such a lovely area. Thanks Maki for

Excellent Highline/Meatpacking/Chelsea Market tour!
My husband and I had a wonderful time with Rob in August 2023 on the Highline, Meatpacking and Chelsea Market tour. He was funny, super informative and very easy to understand. He had lots of fun facts to share with the group and did a great job keeping the group together and on time. Thank you Rob!
