Traveler reviews
Tour not up to par.
It was hard to understand the guide. He rushed through the tour & did not thoroughly explain each exhibit. We thought this was a 2 hour tour & we finished in 90 minutes. The guide kept saying we need to finish.
Excellent
Our tour guide was excellent, he had an accent but was easy to understand, he was very knowledgeable and tried to give us a well rounded tour as the met has so much to see! He was great and added to our experience!
