Great tour of the MET - We were very fortunate to be the only ones on this tour. Our guide was Michael C and he was very knowledgeable about the art work we saw. Since this was our first visit to the Met, I would recommend this tour to everyone who wants to appreciate the most/best works of art in a short period of time.

Kevin L was great tour guide - Kevin L was a very experienced tour guide. As an artist he helped us see the pieces from an artist's perspective in a way that people not familiar with technique and composition can appreciate it. He was very helpful and accommodating to our group of six Highly recommend this tour especially if you don't have a lot of time to spend at the museum

Kevin L was a great guide - Kevin L was a wealth of knowledge. He pointed out the significance of peices and told a story that tied them all together in ways people not familiar with art would never know. He did a great job. Highly recommend! Kevin is a painter and he helped us see the peices through an artists eye.

Rob was an excellent tour... - Rob was an excellent tour guide - knowledgeable, friendly, didn’t over or under explain, everything was just right! He was able to guide us on specific areas of the museum - we requested classical art, renaissance, baroque, neoclassical, and Hudson River school artists. He nailed it all! Even our 8 year old enjoyed it mostly with disruption

Fantastic tour of the Met! - This was a fantastic Babylon tour! We'd never been to the Met before and realized it would have been overwhelming to do on our own on our first visit. Our tour guide, Mark V., was enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and fun! We'd give him 6 stars if we could!
