A great tour - It was the best! Kevin was so knowledgable and engaging. We highly enjoyed the fact that it was a seamless experience from start to finish, and it was just the right amount of time. We will definitely be using Kevin again when we return. Worth every penny!

Wonderful experience - Kevin did such a great job - loved the variety, the amount of time allotted was perfect, and I loved finding out about the Mets’ rooftop terrace. Kevin’s knowledge was encyclopedic, and he is so engaging. Will be using him as a guide again!

Gem of a tour - My mother and I had a wonderful time with Kevin as he guided us through some of the lesser known facts and features of the Met. While my mom has been to the Met numerous times over the years, she learned a great deal of new information on this tour. Kevin was funny, engaging and extremely knowledgeable about the Met and NYC history in general.

Met Private Tour - Kevin was a wealth of information and we would definitely work with him again. The specific items he pointed out were very interesting and not ones you would have noticed on a self guided tour. Plus, seeing the Monet’s, Van Gogh’s and other great works of art made my day

Great Experience at The Met - John was a great guide and gave us the insight that we would not have had otherwise. Especially liked the Musical Instruments exhibit along with the Armor exhibit

Amazing and enlightening experience! - Kevin was a remarkable guide. He truly knew the Met like the back of his hand, which is a big undertaking. My family and I decided to take a guided tour, despite being native New Yorkers and avid Met goers because we wanted to learn more, and he did not disappoint. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning about the Met's fascinating history and the treasures hidden inside!
