The Met can be a daunting museum to visit alone given its size. This tour gave us the opportunity to understand the history of the museum and see some key pieces in a quick 2 hr timeframe our tour guide, Scott, was fantastic and took longer than 2 hrs to ensure we saw much of the museum!. Our visit was richer because of this tour and the stories about the Met's collection that you get with a guide. The tour group was small 7 for us so we could stay together easily and hear everything. We were traveling with our 10 and 11 yr olds and they were never bored or tired the entire time. Excellent, excellent tour that the entire family is still talking about in detail a week later.

The tour was great! The guide was exceptionally knowledgeable about the artifacts, history of the meseum and the artists. He also was very flexible and since it was a small group allowed us to go off the typical tour and showed us some special pieces we were interested in.
