Traveler reviews
Great guide!
Great info!! Highly recommend!
Great tour guide
Ryan was very good Enjoyed his extensive knowledge So so much to see Only way to experience the museum is with a tour and after 3 hours you only scratch the surface
Great express tour
This was an express 2 hour tour of the Met. It was the only tour with availability when we needed it, although we would have liked a longer one. Rob was extremely knowledgeable and made me think differently about the process of painting and the paintings themselves. We saw the highlights and got a feel for the place as a whole. It's so huge! We stayed afterwards for a deeper dive into some areas , and I would love to come back again to see others.

Guide told the stories of the art in a way you relate to. We had 3 younger travelers in our group and Katie embraced them.i to her tour.
Amazing - enjoyed seeing the pieces with some background information - I think it makes it much more interesting!
Cherie was amazing! I appreciated her knowledge and her enthusiasm for the pieces she spoke about and even the ones that she did not. It was a pleasure meeting her and I will definitely be back. Thank you for your time today and making my first experience at the Met so special💕Andi U.
