This museum is fantastic. We loved everything about it. Our tour guide, Cashmire, was about an hour late though. We also felt rushed through the entire tour. It was supposed to be a 4 hour tour but it ended in about 3.5 hours. I think the hour delay in beginning the tour must have created an issue for our guide. She must have had another appointment. Our guide was often rude to other museum goers - she'd elbow her way to the front and bring us with her. I was often embarrassed because I felt we should have waited our turn. She was very informative - just a bit rushed. I would highly recommend the tour just not the guide.

Fantastic guided tour! Our guide, Scott, was knowledgeable, friendly, and had a delightful sense of humor! My 11 yr. old daughter sincerely enjoyed herself, as well.
A tour: I would highly recommend the guided tour and would return to take the tour again in the future.

This tour was the highlight of our visit to New York. Stefan, the Tour Leader, was an outstanding guide - incredibly knowledgeable about every part of the museum that we visited and very open to answering questions. In fact, he was so great that we commented we'd love to hire him to take us through the entire museum over the course of a week!
