Knowledgeable and interesting - Knowledgeable and interesting. I got this tour for my mom as she visited NY. She has a degree in biblical studies from Israel, and Jonathan the guide was able to teach her things she didn't know.

Jonathan Gives Amazing Tours of the MET!!!! - My fiancé and I took a trip to NYC for his birthday weekend. We came across this offer of touring the MET exhibits from a Biblical Israel perspective and we thought it was a great idea. From the very start of Jonathan becoming our tour guide, he was so helpful and accommodating, even when New York traffic and rain made us a little late for the start of our tour. He was also extremely knowledgeable about every exhibit we came across; ones that correlated with the topic of the biblical Israel timeline and those that were outside of that topic. He was very conversational and engaging when my fiancé and I brought up questions, and varying perspectives. If you have a chance to take this tour with Jonathan, do it. You’ll have the best time you could ask for at the MET!!!

Great Afternoon Walk Through the Met - We really enjoyed touring with Jonathan; his relaxed and informal style of storytelling was engaging but also allowed for individual exploration of the exhibits around the pieces which he used as the basis for his narration. Jonathan was knowledgeable about the subject matter and able to build interesting context around the artifacts that we discussed. We also enjoyed having the opportunity of stop in some of the unrelated exhibits on our way through the museum.
