Met could be overwhelming without a guide - Rob was great. He knew a lot about the art which helped you know what you were looking at. Our group was slightly large, 14, but he kept us on track. I really liked that you could go back and explore some areas more thoroughly after the tour.

Rob, our guide, was... - Rob, our guide, was knowledgeable not just about the Met, but also the art itself. Definitely helped you appreciate it more. Loved that you could go back when the tour ended and look at even more items with the all day ticket. The tour gives you a taste of what is there. Hit lots of the highlights.

Midday at the museum - Very good overview of the museum. A bit much on the Egyptian segment. He made up for it at the end of the tour by taking requests.

Two hour express tour of the Metropolitan Museum of Art NYC - We did the express 2 hour tour. Phil was a great guide. Very experienced. He had passion for the museum and the works therein. Phil answered all our questions and provided extra commentary when asked. The museum is fabulous. I wish I could spend all day there.

Great Entertainment - There is a story behind every exhibit in the Met. What better way to hear that story than be entertained by somebody passionate on the subject? We did a two hour tour with Jett and were delighted with the experience.
