The Met - This was an amazing trip through The Met! Charlie was absolutely incredible! His knowledge was remarkable, and I learned so much in just a short time. He also led the tour with charisma and humor and was a pleasure to be with throughout the entire time. I strongly recommend this tour.

Perfect Tour for Museum Lovers - Our tour guide, Charlie, was very knowledgeable and witty. He kept us engaged by asking us questions throughout the tour. I’m not one to quickly write reviews, however, this tour guide didn’t put us to sleep. He could easily land a role in a sitcom. Most tour guides don’t have that “spunk”, but Charlie made learning interesting. My husband enjoyed visiting; this was part of his birthday gift. I would definitely recommend this tour if you’re visiting New York.

A fantastic and cinematic tour - If you don't just want to see pictures and sculptures only, but experience them, then the tour with Charlie is just right for you. Charlie's expressive and lively way of putting you in the shoes of the time and the motives is a real experience. Charlie provides a lot of background knowledge and involves all participants in his tour. A great experience that we can only warmly recommend.
