Learn about New York’s crazy projects, wild failures, and huge successes, all made possible with the latest tech and incredible wealth.
First, we’ll explore a city within a city. Hudson Yards is Manhattan’s unique new real estate project, home to six futuristic residential and office towers, restaurants, bars and a luxury shopping center. As you visit, you’ll learn about this $25 billion neighborhood, the most expensive private real estate development in American history.
Next, we’ll walk part of the High Line, once an industrial artery of New York, now a scenic oasis high above the street. Enjoy art, meadows, flowers, views, and more from this elevated trail.
If you’ve selected the optional upgrades (one or both), you’ll head on your own to those next. First up is Vessel, an interactive, 150-foot art installation featuring interconnecting flights of stairs. As you climb, you’ll discover new perspectives of the city from dozens of angles and viewpoints.
Next is Edge, a sky deck set 1,100 feet in the air with views of Central Park all the way to the Statue of Liberty. Its glass floor and glass walls tilted outward show you NYC as you’ve never seen it before.

Hudson Yards Tour FAQs
What is Vessel?
Vessel is the centerpiece of Hudson Yards. This interactive, 150-foot art installation features interconnecting flights of stairs so you see new angles of New York City with every step.
What is the Edge observatory?
At 1,100 feet up, Edge has the highest outdoor sky deck in the Western Hemisphere. It offers unparalleled views of NYC through its glass floor, where you can look straight down 100 stories, and its tilted outer barrier so you really can lean over the edge of New York. Unique features include a champagne bar and a corner where one person can stand surrounded only by glass and sky.
When are the timed entry tickets for Vessel and Edge?
We provide timed entry tickets for you to enter Vessel and the Edge observatory right after the tour. Typically, you’ll go inside Vessel first at 4 p.m. and then Edge at 5 p.m. However, times may vary slightly due to availability. Visits to both attractions are self-guided.
Is this tour wheelchair accessible?
Yes, this tour is wheelchair accessible. If you’re traveling with a stroller or wheelchair, the High Line also has elevator access instead of stairs, but we can’t guarantee the elevator will be working. Both upgrades are wheelchair accessible as well. Vessel provides elevators for those who need it and priority access for visitors with disabilities. Edge is accessible with elevators and ramps.
How much walking is there?
There’s 1-2 miles of walking at a moderate pace. If mobility is an issue, please arrange for a private tour.
What is the cancellation policy?
We understand plans change. We offer a 100% refund or the option to reschedule up to 24 hours before your tour start time. Cancellations within 24 hours aren’t eligible for refunds or rescheduling.
What if it rains?
Our tours run rain or shine. If there’s extreme weather and we have to cancel, you’ll get a full refund.
Are gratuities included?
Tips aren’t included but are always appreciated by our guides. If you think your guide did an outstanding job, a tip is a great way to show that.
Do you have gift certificates?
Yes! If you want to give the gift of New York (or any of our destinations) to someone else, you can purchase a tour gift card. Our gift cards are good for any of our tours, and they never expire.
