Kevin was very knowledgeable and focused on areas of the MET that we wanted to see. - Kevin was very knowledgeable and actually focused on specific area of the MET that were of interest to our group. He did a fantastic job with the impressionistic genre. I will definitely hire him again when I return to the MET.

Very good exploration in Met! - Our guide Katy is very enthusiastic with sense of humor. We all enjoyed her talks and story sharing. Suggest you can spend 2.5-3 hours to visit excluding eat and rest:)

Great Experience - We have been to the Met before but never done a tour. This 2 hour tour with Jett was great — lots of art, lots of interesting information and a very knowledgeable guide made this a wonderful experience for us. I would highly recommend this tour with him — you see ancient Egyptian art, American and European art, Tiffany glasswork, Michelangelo and Van Gogh. I have done other museum tours and the guides can be odd. Jett did an excellent job showing us major pieces and answering questions. Well done!

Tour of Metropolitan Museum in NYC - The museum is massive. You cannot appreciate it unless you have a tour or are familiar with this museum

Just ok - The tour operator was a little unorganized. Our guide was fine but not great. Having done a different Met tour before which was very informative, this one was definitely underwhelming.
