This was a very informative tour by Jonathon. Although it was 2 1/2 hours it seemed to go fairly quickly because it was so interesting. It did not feel rushed yet our guide moved us on (7 in the group) at a good pace in the maze of this massive museum. Jonathon made the tour feel very personal and I highly recommend doing this tour. It was totally worth the money. I believe that you get far more out of the Met Museum in this tour group than you would on your own.

The museum is so grand it was nice to get an overall picture of what a tremendous amount of art, objects and history was available. That said it would take many days to get comfortable with all the wonderful collections.

Charlie's tour of the MET was insightful in-depth and focused. We flooded and flew from section to section with ease throughout the museum. Charlie's expert knowledge of the museum made our visit special.

This tour was fantastic! We had an amazing tour guide who clearly loves NY and its history! Mark Veneglia with Babylon tours is who you want to guide you. He hit the highlights and his storytelling was superb! It is a HUGE museum, taking this tour allowed us to see more than if we had done it without a guide…you would be there all day trying to get through all of it. Visit The Met, it was excellent!
