Two hours of an amazing experience - A really amazing experience with a professional guide. Chris went us through the history of European and American art from the very beginning until nowadays. Two hours of interesting details, funny stories and responses to all our questions. We absolutely recommend it!

A wonderful whisk through western art from ancient times to contemporary times. - Chris was amazing and extremely detailed in his tour. He took us through a bit sized tour of western art from ancient western art to contemporary western art and taught me quite a bit. He made it fun and informative and let us briefly roam around a few galleries a few minutes at a time in between. I can tell he is extremely passionate and loves art which is great to have in a tour guide.

Great way to start at the Met. - I loved this tour as an intro to the Met. We learned in-depth and entertaining facts about a handful of pieces over two hours. Definitely had to stay longer to experience more of the museum, but this was a great entry point.
