This was an excellent... - This was an excellent experience. We were at the met on a very crowded day and we were still able to move around quickly and prioritize the must see exhibits. Cherie was amazing. I will be bringing back my older son for the same tour at some point.

Sam is a superstar - Our tour guide Sam was simply amazing. He walked us through all the major parts of the Egyptian history and we were blown by his knowledge. I highly recommend him . He also explained about roman painting sculpture and went above and beyond to make sure the tour was entertaining and enlightened at the same time. Thank you so much Sam. We loved every bit of the tour!! - Narayan family

Great experience-worth the cost - Kevin was so knowledgeable. He asked if any one had preferences of what they wanted to see. I learned so much compared to wandering around without a guide. I would definitely do this again, especially with Kevin.

Interesting experience - We had an interesting guide who showed the most important parts of the museum. And if we wanted we could have stayed at the museum for a longer time by ourselves.

So so guided tour - The guide spent long periods of time explaining his theories on art for one specific object or painting. I would have preferred to see more things and not have so much opinion and philosophizing about the ones we did see. He also pointed in our faces and put us on the spot which felt weird and inappropriate. I would have liked to hear more about female artists and subjects.
