Great experience! - We did the express tour at the Met. The price of the tour included entry to the museum. We were met by Rob C who took us through the tour. He was engaging, informative, funny, and knew how to cater to our mixed ages group (adults, teens and tween). He managed to take us very efficiently to all the exhibits that would appeal to us in the allotted time. We enjoyed the tour experience with him and would love to do another one with him.

Best 2hour Met Tour - Katie was amazing, with a great balance of knowledge and laughter. We were on a time schedule and would have never seen as much if we were on our own. Thank you Katie, you were born to do this job!😃

What a Treat - This was an excellent tour. Our guide, Stephan, was exceptional. His love for the Met could be felt in each exhibit we passed. He answered questions with confidence, dates and comparisons to peers or periods. Whatever the question merited. The Met is huge. It was awesome to see if with someone who loved it and also could help open me up to its treasures.

A MUST NYC experience! - The three-hour tour with Katie was amazing! Time flew by and we got to see many famous works of art, as well as hear fascinating stories from Katie. Everyone should take this tour, which not only includes seeing beautiful art, but also inspires you to reflect deeply. Thank you!
