We decided to run the high line as we wanted to experience it but were running out of time on our trip! The views are great. Lots of things along the route to look at as well
Very informative and entertaining commentary. Easy to download and start the App. Did have some issues with synchronizing walking speed with app commentary.
I really enjoyed this. It tells stories instead of relaying a bunch of facts and the app works well.
The best produced and most entertaining audio walking tour I’ve done in New York! Really draws on the most interesting stories to make the high line come to life, you feel like you walk away with a real sense of the history of the area and the city itself. This new your company is really taking self directed tours to another level. I’m a New Yorker and did it just to learn more about my city, and I’ll be recommending it to all my out of town visitors. It’s a really nice thing to do even if you’re interested in learning more about the city, or exploring a beautiful area. Highly, highly recommend!
