Excellent experience. Merrily is knowledgeable, the galleries were familiar to her and the artists were well researched, a broad selection all of whom worked in different media. She is a kind and helpful host and kept the tour to the perfect time. There was a real variety of work to look at, a little bit of walking and talking - we all agreed the pace was perfect and I'm already looking forward to my next trip to NY and tour with her.
