Amazing day at the Met! - We had so much fun touring the Met with Charlie. We took my nephews for their graduation trip and he made the museum so much fun, but also we learned at lot about the different artists and history. It was an amazing day with a knowledgeable tour guide. There is not a better way to go through the Met!

A tmz spin on the ancients - A highlights tour that covers the bases and is entertaining. Our guide Jeff was incredibly charming, deeply knowledgeable and throughly in love with his subject matter. The best part was all of the back story you don’t get in the guidebooks that made even the gilded age gentry relatable and interesting. He was also very gracious to young children that seemed captivated by him that weren’t even on the tour. A must do.

Amazing Collection with a Great Tour Guide - The tour and guide were fantastic. The Met’s reputation is well deserved. The collection of pieces is stunning and we were fortunate to have Cherie as our guide! She was well versed on a wide range of areas and periods, and was engaging to talk with, and she was receptive to our questions. In my opinion you cannot have a successful visit to this museum without a guide. Ask for Cherie!

Way exceeded my expectations! - I cannot even begin to tell you what a wonderful experience we had at The Met. Katherine our tour guide was extremely passionate and knowledgeable about The Met and its art! She goes above and beyond and I would occasionally glance at the other tours going on at the same time and ours was so much better. Ask for Katherine and you won’t regret it!
