Biblical Israel - I enjoyed the tour very much. My 9 y. old son liked it a lot, was able to participate and ask questions. It was very informative and interesting. I visited museum many times on my own, but would never pay attention to many details highlighted during the guided tour. My highest recommendations, Julia

Relics of Ancient Civilizations at the Met - Jonathan is an experienced, pleasant and informative guide. He led us through the maze of the Met to see fascinating relics of ancient cultures. Never would have seen those exhibits without him. Interesting tour!
