Walk through Civilization - We had an incredible experience at the Metropolitan Museum of Art with Chris as our guide. He expertly navigated us through a massive amount of history, starting with the fascinating artifacts of Ancient Egypt, followed by the stunning collections of the Greek and Roman galleries. What we appreciated most was how he tied everything together, eventually bringing us through the centuries to end with the 19th and 20th-century collections. Chris was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the transitions between such different eras feel seamless. If you are looking for a guide who can make the MET’s vast collection feel accessible and exciting, we highly recommend him!

Great Overview of the MET - This was a great way to see key highlights of the MET. Our guide Ken was very knowledgeable and kept things moving along. My personal recommendation is to plan additional time after the tour to stay at the MET and revisit what you saw, or explore the areas not part of the tour.

Great experience with Kevin - Kevin was absolutely first class. A fountain of knowledge. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour primarily because of his expertise and his knowledge of art history that art . If we were ever to go back to the museum for a tour, we would insist on having Kevin five stars times two.
