Excellent Met Visit - The guide was patient and made sure what was shown was explained well and thought provoking. I have been to the Met before but this time went with a guide to get different perspective.

Fast paced, engaging, and insightful tour of The Met - Charlie, our guide, was the best! This was a fast paced tour which hit the key highlights of the museum. He is clearly well studied, animated, and engaging. We learned many things that we would not have caught by just walking around in our own. Charlie took our small group of international strangers and made us his family for a few hours. This tour exceeded all of our expectations with Charlie as our guide.

Did not hear much of what was said - VERY hard to hear our tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and nice but very difficult to understand him. Not very happy with the tour.

Slow visit - The Guide for a long time to give explanations and the visit is very time-consuming and lots of attractions are outside, if I used headphones and went walking and explaining would give to see a lot more , I abandoned the tour when I realized this and saw a lot more attractions
