An experience I can highly recommend - A fantastic 3 hour tour with Charlie, who was incredibly knowledgeable and engaging. He truly managed to invite us into the world of art through an open and lively dialogue that involved everyone. Charlie is an energetic, authentic, and humorous guide – an experience I can highly recommend. /Schmidt

2 hour express tour great for a quick taste of main attractions - My adult daughter and I went on the 2 hour Express Tour. Stephan knowledgably (and quickly) guided us through the main attractions on all floors. This gave us enough information to decide what we wanted to revisit or see next after the tour was over. If you plan to stay and explore long after the tour, the express option is ideal. We were with a family and their 9ish year old son. 2 hours was the max for this kiddo. I can't imagine many younger kids making it happily through 3 hours, so the express tour is great for families with younger children as well.

The Met is fabulous! - Katherine was a great tour guide! This is my first time visiting the Met and there was so much to see, she made sure that our group got to see all the highlights and that by the end of the tour we knew how to go back and see whatever we would like to explore more.
