Fabulous tour! Katie expertly guided us through the museum to see the highlights. She stopped at key points to explain exhibits and each came to life in a way that can't be done with an audio headset. Museum was crowded but we avoided lines. Well worth the reasonable cost.

There is just so many things to see in the MET. I was not a big museum person but the history and beauty of the art is amazing. The tour did a nice job of bringing us to the top highlights of the museum and gave us time to explore on our own. The rooftop view made for a stunning finish. If you have never been to the MET before or if it has been awhile since your last visit check out the tour as the guides really have interesting back stories that you just would not know going on the tour yourself.

Fabulous tour with Stefan on Saturday afternoon. His enthusiasm and knowledge made the two hours fly by . Will definitely visit The Met again after such a great introduction. 100% recommended tour.
