'An experience in seeing'
"This tour was a great introduction to Chelsea galleries which had always intimidated us a bit. We saw eight galleries showing a wide range of painting and sculpture-some pieces witty, some disturbing (in a good, made you think way), some quite beautiful. We really liked that Jody gave us a brief introduction to each show but then stepped back and allowed us to look and react to the art. However, because she's a working artist herself her responses to our questions were insightful and informative. The tour was an experience in seeing and I think we have a new appreciation for contemporary art. It also gives us a taste for browsing the galleries on our own in future. The walk along the High Line afterwards was a terrific added bonus."

'Extremely knowledgable'
"I booked this tour for myself and my 9 yr old daughter. Not only was Jody extremely knowledgeable she was also very friendly and great with kids! She made us feel welcomed and our questions and inquiries were met with enthusiasm that really kept us engaged. I never felt intimidated and the knowledge we gained was greatly appreciated. We only wish we had more time! Will definitely will book Jody again for future visits."

'A not to be missed tour'
"What a wonderful overview of current gallery offerings in this area of NYC. The guide provided a great tour with a real feeling of being in the know about good galleries and interesting art shows. She was clearly very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the area, the artists and the galleries. A not to be missed tour for anyone who appreciates modern art."

'Terrific tour and fantastic tour guide'
"I learned so much on this tour with Jody! Now, when I visit again, I'll be sure to build in time to visit art galleries in Chelsea. Jody's opened up a whole new world of art to me. Terrific tour and a fantastic tour guide - thanks Jody!"

'The perfect introduction to Chelsea's art gallery scene'
"I booked this tour for my Mum who is an art-lover and had always wanted to visit galleries in Chelsea. Jodi got in touch with me as soon as I booked to ask what we were most interested in seeing - which meant the tour was personalised to our taste. Jodi selected 6 fantastic galleries for us to visit which showed us a real breadth of work. We really enjoyed the tour and would definitely do it again next time we're in New York. Thanks Jodi!."

'Maximize your viewing pleasure'
"I went on the Chelsea gallery tour a few weeks ago and highly recommend it. Not only was everything scouted out in advance, with a route planned to minimize walking time between galleries, but it was the perfect number of galleries to visit in an afternoon. Also Jody, herself a working artist, gave a bit of a primer on each artist and the work, but not too much, so you could enjoy the artwork to its fullest. If you have days and days to explore you could or course just go to all the galleries, but if you want to maximize your viewing pleasure, this is the way to do it."

'Highly recommended!'

'Great introduction'
"One of the most fun things I've done in years. Jody is an engaging guide who tells you just enough about the artist to make the work accessible without overloading you with details. The galleries she selected were varied and intriguing and best of all--Jody demystified the whole gallery experience so I'm more likely to go again on my own. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to see really cool art in a low-key way."

'Perfect Saturday afternoon'
"What a cool way to spend a Saturday afternoon! Jody is passionate about her subject and showed us galleries I would never have stumbled upon on my own - or had the guts to walk into! These places house amazing art behind their somewhat non-descript doors. Going as a group gives you the guts you may not have when venturing in solo. Interesting art and interested new people. At the end she got us into a quiet courtyard of a buzzing hotel for cool down drinks. Bonus: I met a new friend on the tour I've stayed in touch with."

'Time enough to explore'
"Jody put together a thoughtful and well-organized gallery tour. She gave a brief orientation before leading us through several galleries and gave us time to explore the art on our own. I appreciated Jody's knowledge and the insights she had into the pieces we saw. I look forward to taking another tour with her soon!"
