SCOTT was the beat guide! Even if he was from Michigan - haha!!!
He was personal and gracious, mannerly and interesting. He gave us what we wanted and MORE! I agree we spent too much time in Egypt and not enough on paintings, but it was an excellent tour! Not too taxing on my 81 year MIL.

This tour was superb. The guide was a walking library with so much knowledge and stories. We deviated at the end to see other areas of the museum not included but it is very comprehensive and with every penny of it. Must come back to spend a week here!

We didn't know what to expect, but had a personal recommendation to try Walks of New York when we visited NYC. Katie was our guide - what a gem! She took her time with our small group and we got to see the most iconic pieces in the MET's collection. We could have never done this on our own. Her knowledge of the museum and the works on display was most enjoyable. We are glad that we spent our time with her and Walks at the MET!
