Best way to go through the Met for your first visit - we would've been so lost without our tour guide Katie! She was very interactive and answered any and all questions we had.

Excellent Tour by Guide Katy. We are not big Art fans, but Katy made this tour extremely interesting and we both thoroughly enjoyed it.
Katy's love and excitement for the Artwork / Artists was so strong and this really added to the enjoyment of the Tour. Katy was very knowledgable, shared lots of History, and kept the pace moving at a good speed which we also really liked as it allowed us to see more.
I would highly recommend taking this Tour with Katy and doing the extended 3 1/2 hours as it flys by very quickly because she makes it so interesting. Thanks very much Katy !!
