“Alex was our guide and he gave us all sorts of insights into the area and how it was developed over such a short period of time. It was interesting to hear how it’s changed over time since he grew up in the area. It was easy to meet up with guide in front of The Whitney. We’d never been to the High Line and this was a great introduction for us. I would definitely recommend Alex and this tour.”
