The Metropolitan Museum is an incredible museum, and this tour was a great way to see the highlights. Phil was a knowledgeable, skilled and pleasant tour guide. This was my first visit to the Met and I highly recommend this experience.

We had a fantastic time on our tour of The Met. Guide “Jet” was the ideal host - mixing deep knowledge with his own genuine sense of wonder. Not to mention a certain NYC ‘tude!! Thanks Jet

Katie was a knowledgeable and friendly guide for our only two-hour tour. She loves her job and it shows! Super tour. Everyone should take it.

Great way to see a few highlights in the Met. Very knowledgeable guide. Lots of standing so make sure you wear comfortable shoes.

Kevin, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable on art history. In the three-hour tour, he went though important aspects of ancient Igyptian and Chinese art. He also led us through some representative oil paintings from seventeen century till the Impressionism period. We enjoyed his talk very much. For people seeking to understand art history of various periods, he will be one of the best choices.

Have traveled the world Katy was one of the best if not the best have ever experienced I am a professor She has a gift of making things come to life that is truly special

This is the only way to experience the Met. The guide knows the story behind the artifact or painting which is what you want to know other than seeing the art in-person vs an image online. AND, what made our tour the absolute best was our guide, Katie. Ironically, she was our guide 2 yrs ago and I was afraid this time we’d get someone less personable since it’s random but we got so lucky to have Katie again. We did the 3 hour tour both times (worth it) and if you get Katie, even better!!
