Frequently asked questions
Where does the tour meet?
The tour starts on the High Line at the Gansevoort Street entrance at the southern end of the park. You may enter the park via stairs or elevator at the corner of Gansevoort and Washington Streets. Any elevator outages will be noted on the Elevator Status page.
Where does the tour end?
The tour ends at the north end of the park, at 30th Street and 10th Avenue, near Hudson Yards.
Can I request a tour that starts at Hudson Yards and ends at the south end of the park?
The story of the park begins at Gansevoort and Washington Streets, so our private tours are designed to start south and work your way north. However, If you are booking on behalf of a corporate group, please contact corporatesupport@thehighline.org for assistance.
Do your docents accept tips?
No. However, if you would like to make a donation to the park in their honor, you may do so online. You can also donate cash at our information carts when they are open. (Hours are May 1 – October 31, Wednesday – Sunday, 10am – 6pm.)
Are private tours ever canceled?
We will only cancel a private tour in case of extreme weather. As an outdoor park, the safety of our visitors and volunteers is paramount. If the tour is canceled by us, we will refund your entire tour fee. If you cancel the tour once the balance due is paid, the tour fee is not refundable.
