Fascinatingly informative! - Ms. Jessie Fahay had excellent knowledge of the city, seen from the Highline. I grew up going to New York from New Jersey and Ms. Fahay was able to tell me all kinds of history and events about places I had known as a child. The more I learned, the more I wanted to spend more time in New York and take more of Ms Fahay's tours. I have become truly eager to learn more and this s all to Ms Fahay's credit. A key highlight was the visit to Chelsea Market where I was introduced to all kinds of new foods, providing a sumptuous finish to our time together. I will always be grateful for this tour!

Individualized tour well worth it! - This was a fabulous tour. Eric provided historic insight, fun facts and gastronomic highlights throughout. The Highline is beautiful and unique. Chelsea, Market 57 and the Mest Packing districts were all worthwhile destinations. Despite rainy weather, he came prepared with extra umbrellas and we had a great time.

A guide that knows the real NYC and feels like a new friend... - We did a High Line tour with Erik Hodgetts. Besides the fact that he is extremely knowledgable he can also weave his stories with the NYC of today. Which makes it a very pleasant experience to do a walk on the town with him. He is a nice guy. He is also a simple pleasant guy to hang with. I was told he knows a lot about architecture but in all realness he knows a lot about everything NYC related. From architecture to politics to daily NY living. What I also liked is that he becomes one of the guests. He walks with you instead of in front of you with some silly tour guide flag in the air and he actually mingles with his guests when walking from one spot to another.

The most informative and articulate tour of the Highline and Chelsea Market!! - Erik provided the most enthusiastic and densely informative tour of the Highline and Chelsea Market. Erik is incredibly knowledgeable and full of amazing non-stop facts and stories associated with the history and development of Manhattan’s Highline and Chelsea Market. You will not only experience the beautiful surroundings and views from the Highline. You will come away with an informed appreciation for this most dynamic and ever-changing edge of the City. Erik also generously shared his personal knowledge and interest in many of the ever-evolving international cuisines offered at the Chelsea Market. With so many intriguing choices, it was almost impossible to decide what we would select for our lunch.

Highly recommend! - Jessie is an extraordinary tour guide. Very knowledgeable of New York and the history of the area. I enjoyed the stories that she shared throughout the tour about the people that made the Highline the wonderful park that it is today. Above all, Jessie was super patient with our group, and knew the best spots to stop for a rest, bathroom break, or awesome picture opportunities. Book this tour you won't regret it!

An Outstanding Private Tour Led by Jessie Fahay! - I was blown away by the views of New York and the Hudson River from three stories high! Loved the architecture and the stories Jessie Fahay told us about each building. In fact, I went on to do some research on Zaha Hadid, the female architect who used steel in the exterior of her stunning apartment building. Jessie is extremely organized and knowledgeable about the High Line!

Great discovery on the Highline - What an amazing tour! Jessie was so knowledgeable about The Highline. I’m a native New Yorker and she shared things I never knew it was fascinating! Jessie was patient and kept us very engaged.
