We had such a great visit with Phil. His explanations on each of the highlights of the museum were interesting and fun. We had a great morning at the Metropolitan thanks to Phil. We highly recommend it

Our guide had a thick accent and soft voice. It was really difficult to hear him. Also our guide started talking before we all got to the item he was talking about. He walked really fast! I have older parents and it was hard for them to keep up with him. Overall, I really do not think our guide should be a guide.
