Rob brings the Met to life. - An enjoyable tour. Learned a lot. Rob was very good. His knowledge of the artwork and the history made tour very interesting. Rob made the tour more fun by giving us the history of the artwork as well as the history of the artist at that point in his life. He had great background stories that brought everything to life!

Mark V is the “bomb” - Mark V was an exceptional tour guide teaching us how to view art and keeping it interactive. It was so much better than wandering through ourselves we loved it!

The best experience because of the best guide! - Charlie was an amazing tour guide! He was knowledgeable and friendly. He has lots of life experiences and was able to connect with everyone in the group. This was my first time to the Metropolitan Museum of Art and I wouldn’t have wanted to do it any other way. Charlie made the experience unique and I only wish I had his level of energy!

Katherine was so... - Katherine was so knowledgeable, I highly recommend coming with an idea in mind of what you want to see and know because she can do it all! The museum is just too big to cover everything and she was able to tailor the itinerary for our needs. I had an excellent time and absolutely looking forward to going back!

A Tour to Remember - Charlie was an outstanding tour guide. He entertained our group of 7 and kept our attention the 2.5 hours. Charlie was knowledgeable, entertaining and enthusiastic while giving us a rememberable experience. Our 13 year old son said he was the best tour guide he had ever had (and he has had at least 10 different guided tours around the world).

We loved the Met in and... - We loved the Met in and of itself but the tour was rushed and hard to understand the guide. He seemed to be very knowledgeable but didn’t wait for the entire group to gather before talking. I would have rather just walked the Met by ourselves.
