As a professional mosaicist, taking this tour with Cathleen had been on my list for a long time and she did not disappoint! Cathleen's knowledge, enthusiasm and organization of our full day tour was beyond my expectations, she shared so many insider stories and history, not only about the mosaics but NYC in general. My partner, who is not particularly 'artsy' also attended, and he was blown away by how much he enjoyed the experience, despite not having any background in mosaics. Cathleens down to earth approach, her shining personality and insights really changed his perspective - he said he will never look at a subway or mosaic the same way again! We cannot say enough about Cathleen, who really customized our day for us and gave us a fabulous highlight of our NYC trip!

In a city where you are nearly always compelled to look up, it was thoroughly refreshing to spend a day under ground and looking ahead at the walls. Cathleen leads a perfectly paced afternoon through the underground world of subway art. She was informative both about the artists and their processes used to create the works. Well worth putting on your checklist of “must do” activities when in NYC!

This was an amazing tour of a little known NYC attraction. Cathleen was extremely knowledgeable and organized describing the history of each mosaic as well as the artists and the techniques used to create the works. We saw a lot in four hours and she even added a stop that we heard about and wanted to see!
