This was my third tour with Merrily in person. I have also enjoyed her virtual tours via Zoom. It is a wonderful way to view the best of the Chelsea galleries. Merrily provides context and background for the artists and exhibits, which adds so much to the experience. I can’t say enough good things about New York Art Tours!

We enjoyed a wonderful two hours touring seven galleries in Tribeca. Merrily was a perfect guide providing information, interesting stories and pointing out architectural details along the way. I would definitely do this tour again.

We had an incredible experience exploring Chelsea's contemporary art galleries with Merrily as our guide. As a mix of out-of-towners and NYC locals from our office, we were all equally enthralled. Merrily expertly navigated us through eight diverse exhibitions. Her commentary was insightful and engaging. The pace of the tour was perfect for our group and the variety of media and styles we saw was remarkable. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to dive deep into NYC's contemporary art scene, whether you're a visitor or a local. It was a memorable experience for our entire group--filled with beauty, learning, and inspiration. Thank you Merrily!
