Fine art - Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable. It was an excellent museum experience if you love fine art from Egyptian Chinese European you can’t beat the Metropolitan museum or the Frick. I highly recommend taking a tour through one or both and enjoying all the different. Great artists.

Guided tour - Visiting the Met is daunting, but I’m glad I booked a 2 hour guided tour with Viator. Myself and family learned so much and actually really enjoyed the museum. Our guide Jett M. Is very knowledgeable and explained the highlights very well, he was patient and accommodating. Highly recommend Viator guided tours.

Great intro tour to the Met - Rob was our guide and he was amazing! He was able to connect with all of us. He has a great knowledge of the museum and the art. With the size of the Met it was nice to have someone who could give us some highlights in many different areas. Rob's stories and info were engaging. We got so much out of our tour with him. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

One of the best tours ever - This is one of the best tours I have ever done in any museum anywhere. Our guide was so well clued up on everything in the museum and took us to see a wide variety of different art forms in completely different parts of the building which would have been very difficult to find on one's own. She showed us some stunningly beautiful work and I stayed another 2 1/2 hours afterwards to go back and enjoy what she had touched on earlier. It was worth every penny/dollar!

Better Options - The tour does not give you headsets so it’s hard to hear the guide and the group can be up to 15 or 16 people. When I’ve done tours like this in the past, the guide would make sure to hit the most important works. This tour seemed rushed and unorganized. It was made especially worse because I couldn’t hear the guide. I would use a different tour company next time.

The tour operator can’t... - The tour operator can’t be reached by phone. We are expecting delays due to traffic and the tour operator didn’t bother checking in on us by calling or texting. When we got to The Met, the tour already started and tour guide have our tickets and we can’t get in. We paid $345 for a guided tour ($30/ea if bought onsite without guide, btw!) and refused to refund us upon “thorough investigation”. It would be acceptable if they just have followed up on us and missed our tour.
