Cowboys, and Railroads, and Meat…..Oh My!

Wow! Patrick was a fountain of knowledge about the history of New York City. The two hours of the Chelsea Market, the Highline, and the Meat Packing District went by too quickly. I just wish that I had brought along a notebook to write down all the interesting facts!

John our tour guide was...

John our tour guide was very good. The only problem we had was the meeting point. The Viator app gave us the wrong location which resulted in us being 20 minutes late. The tour itself was very good and informative though. A lovely part of NYC!

Amazing Tour - Highly Recommend

If we could give Percy 10 stars we would. It was a private tour formed around our interests. Percy was an amazing guide. We learned so much about Chelsea Market and the history of the area. Walking on the Highline was great and learning about how the area was established was so interesting. Percy was very knowledgeable and articulate. We highly recommend this tour and especially recommend Percy as thr guide.

Great tour!!!

Rory was an awesome tour guide. So much interesting history about both nyc and Chelsea Market (and the meat packing district.) Not to mention a great British accent that makes listening to him a pleasure. Lots of funny comments about “those Brits” —in nyc history —the scoundrels!
