Maki was great and real fun time!
Maki the guide was excellent Highly recommend it
Patrick Sullivan was the guide for our Chelsea High Line Tour and he was fantastic! Initially I thought the tour would just be on and about the High Line, but Patrick provided so much more information. He gave background information that painted a picture of what the area was like and the changes it experienced over the decades. We learned about “Death Avenue” and how it received its name; the history of Chelsea Harbor, the buildings, the rise, decline and rise again of the High Line itself. Patrick is a great storyteller and weaves in interesting facts throughout his presentation, like the dark days of “crime & grime” when the High Line was no longer in use by anyone other than the homeless and the mafia. We learned he leads other tours too. I will be booking with him again in the future!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Patrick brought the history of Chelsea and the High Line to life with such engaging storytelling and insight. It’s great to know you enjoyed learning about the area’s transformation and all the hidden history along the way. We truly appreciate your kind words and look forward to welcoming you on another tour in the future!
