Merrily exceeded my expectations. She was so knowledgeable, but also warm and friendly. I thoroughly enjoyed the art gallery tour, and would highly recommend it to anyone.

There is probably no better way to discover the art scene in New York than a guided tour with Merrily. She carefully selected a variety of arts - air sculptures, paintings, computer art, photography, sand art, plastic art and more - which made the tour exciting and fun. And she as a great knowledge and insights to explain more about the artist and to put in in context with his personal background or social environment. And finally, she respected the pace of her customers so that we could spend more time with art interesting us most. We will come back! Ralf

Merrilyn is an art major and a art teacher and has deep knowledge of the gallery scene in New York. She has been doing this a longtime so she was able to talk about the artists, the galleries and the evolution of the scene over time in a very professional way. She brought an iPad to expand the knowledge of each artist we viewed. She was articulate in a down to earth way and made our discussion fun and interesting. My partner is a successful artist on her own so she gauged what places to take us. She was able to talk to both the knowledgeable and the neophyte customer at the same time and keep our interest. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS TOUR. We also did the lower east side tour with her and it was also totally wonderful. Very much worth the price.
