Mind stimulating overview of the MET - My husband and I wanted to get an introduction to the MET as it was our first time going and Marianne did not disappoint! Marianne's friendliness began pre-tour as she introduced herself a week before and was available for questions with quick replies until we met day of inside the main lobby. Away we went to get an overview of the MET with fascinating, stimulating information shared by Marianne. It was a fast-moving tour as there was much to see and learn about. Marianne kept it interesting throughout making me want to have a round 2 of seeing the next layer of the beauty that resides there. Thank you much Marianne!

Great Guide and Tour of the Met! - My husband and I booked a small group Highlights of the Met Museum tour, which ended up being just the two of us! Jonathan was our guide and he was great. I appreciated him texting before the tour to check in, and then providing a picture of himself so he was easy to find. He was personable, knowledgeable, and interesting. I enjoyed that he not only talked about the museum pieces, but also incorporated some history of NYC. It was also nice to talk about our travels and commiserate over our shared sports teams. We could spend days in the museum, but this short tour was a perfect way to get a small taste of what it has to offer!

Great 2.5 hour tour of the Metropolitan Museum of Art! - Jonathan was an amazing guide at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. I've taken several tours in the past and I learned new information and saw new things today! He carried a notebook with visual aids on what the original Met building looked like and how it has changed over the years. Quite a nice guy and very enjoyable. 2.5 hours was just long enough.

August tour, the first of many - I had a wonderful time with Katherine. She was very knowledgeable, charismatic and fun. We definitely learned a lot and had a great time doing it. She was very attentive to our interests but there is so much there to see, I’ll have to schedule another tour with her one day to try and see the rest of the museum

Great Tour, best Tour Guide! - We did some Tours in NYC and Boston, this one was by far the best! The Met Tour with Jonathan was a Highlight! We enjoyed the very well composed, fun, interesting, informative Tour through this amazing museum. We highly recommend Jonathan - as my sister Said „I wish we could do an entire New York City Tour with this guide“. Alltogether an excellent experience!
