Louis is the best!!! - Louis was amazing. Had a true appreciation for art and was very thorough. Pointed out things that the average museum goer would miss. Highly recommend!

A Wonderful Snippet - Mike did a wonderful job today on our 2 hour tour of the museum. It was great to have the guide to find and discuss some of the “not to miss” items currently on display. A very enjoyable time!

Quick trip - 2 hours is not enough time to see the whole museum so either do a longer tour or purchase a Museum ticket. You could easily spend 4-5 hours in the museum. We did however enjoy the tour and the tour guide who hit the “Highlights”

Quick but just enough - I liked that we knew from the beginning what the tour would be like, what it would and wouldn't cover; that we'd move at a quick pace, and we finished almost right on time. Plenty of time for questions and comments though, during the tour, and a lot of interesting insights.

Amazing Experience - Katie was an amazing guide! She was so knowledgeable and made our tour so fun! She had so many interesting stories about what we were seeing! She was also able to tie things back to present time. I found Katie inspirational! She has definitely found her calling in life. I highly recommend this tour and hope that you are fortunate enough to have Katie as your guide!

Take the tour!! - I learned so much and our tour guide Charlie is the reason I did. I came home telling everyone the intricate details of some of the most famous works of art. I really felt like an expert! Taking the tour with Charlie is the best way to experience the MET for the first time. I loved it!!
