Highly recommened - Outstanding. Putting the art in historical context, stories behind the images, seeing hidden meanings in paintings I’ve known for 50 years. Small group so o could hear everything. Guide would stop and expand when questions were asked.

Great tour with Charlie - Charlie was an outstanding tour guide during our 2-hour tour at the Met. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the vast history of the museum come alive with his storytelling. Charlie tailored the experience to our interests, providing insightful commentary on the artwork while making the complex history accessible and enjoyable. His enthusiasm and passion for art were contagious, and he ensured that everyone in the group felt involved and captivated throughout the tour. We left the Met with a deeper appreciation for the museum, thanks to Charlie's expertise and professionalism. Highly recommend his tours!

A wonderful and invaluable introduction to this all-encompassing museum. Strongly recommended. - Our Guide, Mel, was excellent in giving us a taste of this huge museum! Without his introduction to the Met together with his great knowledge of the exhibits that we were shown it would be easy to be overwhelmed. He made me want to return!

An excellent tour! - Mel was excellent! He was very knowledgeable about all of the art that he showed us and he took the time to get to know the group……even offering to take our photo in the area where they hold the MET gala. The two hour tour was just enough time to hit the highlights of the museum without rushing. He started in ancient Egypt and ended with the Impressionists. We would definitely recommend this tour to anyone who wants an overview of all the MET has to offer. Make sure to go up to the rooftop garden…..the view of the city is spectacular!
