Great tour to start your day at the MET - Charles did a great job (funny, informative, and friendly). The tour highlights parts and pieces of the MET. It is ideal to do first and then roam around the MET the rest of the day. It is a day long commitment if you want to experience everything that the MET has to offer. Includes admission and our group size was 5 which was nice.

Loved this tour with Robin! - Robin was amazing. She got through all the highlights in 2.5 hours. Articulate, interesting, never a dull moment. Never knew the Met is so much more than just Egyptian, Greek and Roman art. Can’t say enough good things about Robin

Highly Recommend the Small Group Tour! - This is my second Babylon tour of the MET in 2025. The tours were excellent. Katherine H. and Robin G . are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the MET, and they kept me and my family fully engaged throughout the 2 1/2 hour tour. I highly recommend this small group tour. It’s well worth the extra cost to experience the MET with an exceptional guide who shares highlights of the extensive collections and exhibits at the museum. I look forward to visiting again!

An Absolute Must Tour - I recently took a semi-private tour of The Met with Charlie as our guide. Charlie was personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely enthusiastic throughout the experience. We learned a tremendous amount on the tour and highly recommend booking a guided tour rather than simply exploring the museum on your own. If you decide to book, hopefully you'll get Charlie as your guide!
