Mark’s MET tour is the best! PERIOD. - Mark V’s tour of the MET was phenomenal! No one matches his level of passion and knowledge. Definitely asking for a tour from him on every NYC visit!

Better than I expected - We loved the Met! Big “WOW!” factor throughout. I’m not much of a museum guy, and the knowledge and expertise that our tour guide shared really kept us engaged for the duration. Great person, great sense of humor, Thanks Charlie!🤓

Fantastic small group tour, loved it! - Had fantastic experience on the tour with guide Mark. Only five people so it was very intimate. Mark was passionate, enthusiastic, knowledgeable and attentive to his guests. The Met is huge, and tour like this makes it much more worthwhile. Recommended.

Great tour if you have limited time. - Micheal provided a great tour. It was only a 2.5Hr tour, where we only had time to hit the highlights. He asked us if we had anything specific we wanted to see, but chose to have him just suggest what to see. He did a great job of highlighting all the big pieces and exhibits and chose a few of his favorites. Great way to get a more personal feel on a short time line. Highly recommend!

Mark V is an amazing guide! - We had the pleasure of a 2.5 hour tour with Mark V as our guide. He is amazing. Communication before and up to our meeting point was clear and helpful. His passion for the Met, not only the building itself, but also the art, was contagious, and we enjoyed every minute. He showed us all the must-sees of course, but we really appreciated that he stopped at, and he explained many other pieces that were incredibly interesting that we would have just walked right by. He explained the history of the building as well as its current events and engaged our kids with celebrity and movie references. So many movies have filmed there. He kept us moving along to cover as much as we could and explained how to navigate the museum so we could go back and re-visit anything we wanted to. He offered to take family pictures of us throughout the tour as well in front of our favorite works. We are so glad we decided to take the tour and were very fortunate to have had Mark V as our guide. He is the best!
