Traveler reviews
Excellent Tour and Guide
Michael C was an excellent tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable and has a heart for all things art! I highly recommend you booking this tour. It was a highlight of our trip!
Exceptional Met tour with Charlie
This tour experience with Charlie was an educational and cultural adventure. Charlie shared context and education that brought the art to life. A true highlight of our trip to NYC. Thank you, Charlie & Babylon tours!
Awesome experience at the met!
Our tour guide, Jonathan, was amazing. His way of telling the stories behind each highlight was engaging and incredibly knowledgeable. Every piece he selected to discuss was fascinating, and my daughter loved every minute of the tour. We learned so many interesting facts, and the interactions between Jonathan and the group made the experience unforgettable. I will never forget the two faces of Van Gogh and the story behind the museum’s most expensive painting. Never visit without a guide—you will miss so much valuable information!
We will return
Catherine was a gracious and energetic tour guide. She was so well-versed on the displays that we wound up taking notes. The best thing is that her energy and awareness has encouraged us to visit the museum again. There’s no way to take it all in in just a few hours.
Use a tour guide for The Met, its needed
This was my first visit to The Met and I knew it was huge. The guide was very informative & made the tour fun not just a bunch of facts. He stressed that you can not do the whole Met in one day so we would be seeing some of his favorite go to exhibits. The tour size was small (8) so easy to hear & stay together.
