    Our experience was awesome! Alex our guide was an excellent communicator right from the start. He was so knowledgeable and very passionate about the art! You could tell he really loves art and enjoys his job. He kept us moving along which I loved but also gave us a nmoment to ask questions. I definitely would recommend this tour and tour company!

    I love how passionate our tour guide was, Mr Mike was one of a kind. He knew almost everything in The MET. I would love to meet him and I recommend him for his great work.

    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.
