Great Tour, best Tour Guide! - We did some Tours in NYC and Boston, this one was by far the best! The Met Tour with Jonathan was a Highlight! We enjoyed the very well composed, fun, interesting, informative Tour through this amazing museum. We highly recommend Jonathan - as my sister Said „I wish we could do an entire New York City Tour with this guide“. Alltogether an excellent experience!

Amazing thank you - Had a wonderful experience. Jeff was our very knowledgeable art guide. We were lucky enough to have Jeff to ourselves for our own private tour. Jeff showed us the hi lights but also asked us what art we were interested in and tailored the experience to our preferences. We had a lovely time looking around The impressionists and my mum was thrilled to see 2 Caravaggios

Highlights tour a must do! - I highly recommend the highlights tour as it prevents attendees from wandering aimlessly and wasting precious time. Jonathan was a great guide and showed us all the best areas of the Met. He was very professional, fun, and informative.

Fantastic Experience!!! - Jonathan was an outstanding tour guide! He gave us so many insights not just about the collections, but about the origins of the museum and a number of its benefactors. We learned so much. I highly recommend this tour!!

Amazing Museum, Mediocre Experience - Amazing museum, mediocre experience. We've recently been to the Louvre and the British Museum, the former with a guided tour. We've done many guided tours in the past. The hope is to get a guide that is very passionate about the museum, which we certainly got. Unfortunately, he didn't seem to know much or care to tell as much about the actual pieces in the museum. We got a lot of personal anecdotes and a few stories about how the Museum obtained certain pieces. Nothing specifically about the pieces themselves. The couple that was with us asked a few questions about certain pieces, for which he had no answer (despite reportedly working for the museum for the past 40+ years). For instance, he didn't point out or tell a story about a single painting. We paid for a 2-hour tour but he was ready to be done with us at 1 hour in and kept asking if we wanted to see anything else. We said we wanted to see the Renaissance area, he brought us up there and left us unceremoniously at an hour and 30 minutes in. The sad part is, we were ready for him to go. Extremely nice guy, amazing museum, not a great guide.
