Met tour

This was a truly enjoyable tour. Mark was fantastic! Knowledgeable and enthusiastic, which really enhanced the experience. I have done a few tours through other companies and I have to say that this was the easiest experience navigating to and from the museum and each exhibit.

Great option touring the MET

We did the MET tour with Mark, and had a fabulous time. I would highly recommend the tour for first time visitors (us) or people who have been before. You get to see the main highlights, but Mark also pointed out several hidden gems and provided extra insight into many of the museums paintings and even the museum itself. It was very fun and one of the highlights of our trip to New York! I highly recommend the tour and Mark was extremely knowledgeable and fun!

Five stars out of five.

Mark Venaglia is superb. A+ Enthusiastic, excellent communication, superior knowledge and interesting anecdotes. It’s easy to see he loves his job and wants his viewers to see things in each painting from the artist’s eyes. Highly recommended.
