PRIVAT Rockefeller Center Artified Walking Tour

My partner and I were visiting from Chicago and the task of seeing all things New York, felt daunting. But then we met Mark Venaglia on our tour at the MET. His expertise, passion and respect for the MET and staff was so admirable and infectious. I told Mark that “I didn’t know enough about art to comment on it without looking foolish” and he was so kind in offering perspective and said that “art is how you interpret and what it means to you as the viewer.” And those very words made me see all the wonderful pieces in the museum in a whole new light. I fancied myself a critic for the evening and now with Marks insight and tips to navigate the MET the next time I visit, I will remember Marks enthusiasm for the world of art. I highly recommend Mark, 100/10 stars. Even if you THINK you know all about the MET and its stories and glamour - mark will show you so so much more. Thank you Mark!

Mark is the most passionate, energetic and delightful ambassador to the city of New York. His knowledge of its history, secrets and really fascinating trivia is unparalleled and completely absorbing. It has been an utter delight and pleasure to go on many tours with him and I make sure every visitor I know and love spends time seeing New York with Mark. You haven’t seen New York until you’ve seen it with Manhattan Mark.

Mark has the gift of transmitting his delight and appreciation of art and beauty to whomever he is speaking with, and people love it. Mark's tours inform, uplift and inspire. He brings new appreciation and insights to the familiar, and shares surprising revelations of New York City’s lesser-known wonders. Mark’s love of this magical city opened my eyes to it in a whole new and wonderful way.
