We did the guided tour... - We did the guided tour with Alek. The Museum is huge, with so much to see, and Alek did a great job of walking us through the highlights with excellent commentary along the way. At the end of the tour, he provided helpful advice to those of the group who wanted to explore further on their own.

Fast moving museum tour - Alex was an enthusiastic and knowledgeable tour guide. He clearly loves this museum. He was willing to take us to see any items of special interest to our group, which was just two of us. One word of warning, Alex moves fast, so if you have difficulty walking or prefer a slower pace, This may not be the tour for you. But if you want to experience as much of the museum as possible, then I highly recommend it.

A good tour if you want an overview of the museum. - Our tour guide, Alex was very knowledgeable about the museum and the art pieces on display. He was very energetic and we enjoyed his tour. The museum is huge so it would be impossible to see everything in one visit. The 2 hour tour gave us an overview of the museum but we didn't get to spend much time in any one area. You are able to stay at the museum beyond the tour though so you do have chance to revisit your favourite areas or explore further. The roof garden is stunning and worth a visit to see the incredible New York skyline. The queues to get into the museum were quite long but they try to move you through security as quickly as possible. The museum has a number of cafes but we didn't try them out.

Didn’t happen - The guide never showed up. When I called the number for help, they kept hanging up on me. When we checked with the Met staff, the guide had not checked in. Very disappointing.
