Mark is an outstanding guide - Mark made my first trip to the Metropolitan Museum of Art memorable and engaging. I didn’t want the tour to end! Now I can take myself or engage a private tour to experience the art in greater depth. Thank you, Mark!

Great guided tour! - Mark’s knowledge of NY was great! Very much enjoyed his sense of humor! However, he needs to be careful about assuming people’s relationships… he called me my wife’s mother and that was a bit insulting… he assumed these other two guys were together… they were, but what if they were not? Just saying… ask instead of assuming.

Wonderful museum. Don’t miss it - The MET is amazing and huge. Having our own guide to explore and explain the history and culture behind the paintings, sculptures and artifacts was well worth the cost. My rating is lower because our guide was adamant that we immediately at the end of our tour rate him a 5 and I felt coerced into doing it. He told us what to write and it ruined our day. Charlie was knowledgeable but he was definitely demanding.
