Highlighted reviews from other travelers
Charlie was very knowledgeable and passionate about the art pieces he described. He made sure we were actively engaged the whole tour. It was a great way to get a taste of the MET. He was so thoughtful making sure we found our way to a place to have lunch. I would highly recommend this tour and Charlie in particular!
This was the best tour I’ve taken in my half a century alive and that was all down to Kevin our guide. He has lived a life of art history, he is fascinated by it and as a result extremely knowledgeable and interesting. He knows so much. I could just follow him round . 2 hours wasn’t enough time. It went so quickly. I’m so glad I took this tour and thankful I got lucky and got Kevin. Ask for Kevin. My goodness that was a good tour. Thank you so much,
