5.00We had a lot of fun walking around the MET and hearing about the history, the intrigues, and the art that we were seeing. It even kept our daughters (19 and 13) interested for way longer than we thought they would be. We definitely recommend this tour!
Knowledgeable, story telling guide

5.00Tour guide James was very knowledgeable and told interesting (history) stories that our 9 year old, 11 year old, and 13 year old enjoyed. The 6 year old had difficulty paying attention. The adults were fascinated. Highly recommend.
Wonderful morning at The Met

5.00We had a fabulous experience with this tour, with James. It was my family of 4 that included two kids (12 & 14). Our tour guide connected with us an hour prior, via text, gave us clear instructions on where to meet him. The lines for security were wrapping around the building, so he met us out front and took us around to a back entrance with no lines at security. We had a thorough tour that started in Ancient Greece, through Rome and Egypt and ending with the Impressionists. James had wonderful details about each era and incorporated fascinating NY history about how these works of art came to reside at the Met. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Skip the lines, avoid the crowded group tours and book with this team. James was great.

5.00Jared was freindly, funny and most of all knowledgable about all things New York, but we enjoyed his tour of the Metropolitan museum. He knew just where to go to avoid lines, and guided us through to see things that our family found interesting. He worked before hand to prepare an experience that we would enjoy. I would recommend this highly!
Great tour for kids
