The perfect Met tour!! - Charlie was the perfect guide! He drove us through the massive Met museum and in 2.5h we saw the masterpieces. It was the perfect amount of time to get a great vision: ancient Egipt, american painting, impressionists, abstract art... without getting too tired. He made it funny and entertaining, full of laughter. The group was only 6 pax, perfect to interact but intimate enough. Also, the client service (Antoine Weber) answered all our questions in a very efficient way. Thank you!!

Amazing, the only way to see the Met - Absolutely worth every penny! Our tour guide Mark was incredible. The facts, funny stories, and anecdotes he told about the art (and artists) made every minute enjoyable. We could have stayed for another 3 hours!!

You have to book this tour! - Mark was our guide today, and he was absolutely outstanding. My friend and I had an amazing time. He was engaging, provided fascinating and relevant insights, answered all of our questions, and customized the tour to fit our group perfectly. The Met is vast and can be overwhelming without a guide, so don’t miss the chance to book a tour. Having experienced museum tours around the world, I can confidently say that our tour at the Met was among the best. Highly highly recommend!
