Amazing experience

Mark was an amazing guide! I have not been to the Met before and he showed us all the highlights, some secret gems and interesting stories. I’m so glad I was able to experience this. Thank you, Mark.

Great experience with Charlie

Our tour guide Charlie was one of the best we’ve ever had. He didn’t just tell us the facts about the art but rather made it an interactive experience, including us in dissecting the story and understanding the meaning of the paintings. Very enthusiastic and funny!! Awesome guide!

Exceptional guide at The Met

Mark, our guide, was a wealth of information. When you have limited time for your overall visit, and such a massive museum to cover, it was a no brainer for us to get a guide to ensure we made the most of our time. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour. Mark was informative about museum exhibits AND the history of the museum and its architecture. He was personable and listened to and followed up on our interests. We highly recommend this tour.
