Your private tour of Hudson Yards takes you inside this futuristic “city within a city” to learn how it became the most expensive successful private real estate project in American history. Home to sleek residential towers, offices, restaurants, a luxury shopping center, gardens, and tourist attractions, Hudson Yards is a New York neighborhood unlike any other.
As you explore, your guide will share about the bold projects that have reshaped New York over the years, fueled by big money and often even bigger risks. There have been some flops along the way, as you’ll hear.
Right in the heart of Hudson Yards, you can’t miss Vessel, the striking 150-foot art installation made up of interlocking staircases that climb skyward. It’s designed so every step reveals a fresh perspective of New York, giving you angles and views you won’t find anywhere else. We highly recommend the upgrade to climb it after our tour!
You’ll also enjoy a private guided tour of the High Line, a one-of-a-kind park built on elevated train tracks. Stroll past unique plants and public art while taking in views of the city streets below. If you’ve chosen the Edge upgrade, you’ll finish your experience at NYC’s highest sky deck with even better views — with glass floors and angled walls 1,100 feet above the city, giving you an unforgettable panorama of New York.
