Private, small-group walks through NYC's galleries and museums — no fixed itinerary, no art degree required.
Who this is for
Curious about art
You've walked past galleries and wondered what goes on inside. Or been to a museum and wanted someone to help make sense of it. That's what this is.
Thinking about buying
Walking into a gallery alone can feel like a lot of pressure. A guided walk through Chelsea or Tribeca takes that away — you get honest context on what you're seeing, with no sales agenda and no commission.
Just want a great afternoon
A Saturday with something to show for it. Good conversation, interesting things to look at.
The experience
Some groups want to slow down in front of one painting for twenty minutes. Others want to cover ground and get a feel for a neighborhood. The tour follows the group. There's no fixed itinerary — just a starting point and two hours to go wherever seems most interesting.
Groups are two to five people, so there's real room to ask questions, double back, and linger. No headsets, no clipboard. Just a relaxed walk with someone who knows these spaces well and is genuinely excited to be there.
You're in good hands
Where we go
No idea where to start? Just pick a direction and we'll go from there.
We'll meet for a coffee first, then head out on foot. I'll handle the route — you just show up.
I'm happy to arrange ticketing in advance — all you need to do is show up.
Want to do both? We can walk Chelsea galleries and finish the afternoon at a museum. Just say the word.
Logistics
Per tour, privately booked. Every tour is just your group and me — no strangers, no shared tours.
Long enough to really see something. Short enough that you won't be exhausted. Museum visits focus on 8–10 works. Gallery walks cover 4–6 spaces.
Per person. Gallery walks are $65. Museum tours are $90 — admission included, and I'll handle ticketing in advance. You just show up.

"He knows the Met like the back of his hand. Really interesting exploring the intimidating museum with somebody who seems to have an intimate knowledge and love of it."
