Do this tour with Charlie - Charlie was engaging, personable, and informative. (Even one of the guards at the museum told me he was the “best guide”). Highly recommend this guide.

Family visit - Great tour of the MET! The museum is so large it was intimidating to try and plan a visit the whole family would enjoy. Our guide was fantastic and gave us a great overview and hints of fun spots to check on our own.
