This tour will incorporate mini-scavenger hunts to keep you kids entertained and to help them learn in a more active, engaging way. Transportation, if necessary, is not included in the price but we are happy to arrange it for you. Our tours start at $400 for 2 hours for groups of 1-5 people. For groups larger than 5 people or tours longer than 2 hours please contact us.

Christian was a great guide through the Met. My 13 year old was enthralled with all his knowledge. I would recommend this tour for families who have kids interested in history and art

Jayne was fabulous with my 9 year old grandson. She got him involved immediately with questions he could answer and raved about how clever he was so he wasn't afraid to answer more and ask questions!! I enjoyed the Met through new eyes. Loved every minute!!

This was a fun and informative tour of the MET. Whitney was patient, funny and brilliant with my two boys. They loved every minute of exploring the museum. Any question they had Whitney could answer them. It is a huge museum but Whitney guided us to all the areas that my boys would enjoy. We managed to see so much more in two hours with Whitney than would would have done alone.
