The Metropolitan Museum of Art
Its roughly 2 million works of art and artifacts cover everything from Ancient Egypt to modern art. From the Great Hall, you’ll visit the museum’s most important galleries. Pass through the Medieval Europe Gallery on your way to the Studiolo from the Ducal Palace. Explore armory form the Middle Ages, including pieces worn by Henry VIII. The American wing hosts the staircase from the Chicago Stock Exchange as well as the famed portrait of Washington crossing the Delaware. A host of European painters including Vermeer, Picasso, and Van Gogh await you as you learn about their troubled yet exciting lives. All the while, your guide will explain how this iconic American museum differs from its older European counterparts, especially since it began before the United States was even 100 years old! Highlights generally include (if artwork is not on loan or being restored): Henry VIII armor, Tiffany Autumn landscape, Chicago Stock Exchange Stairs, Madame X, Pop culture then and now, Hudson River School, Washington Crossing the Delaware, Jan Vermeer, Madonna with Child, Picasso, Seurat, Van Gogh, and more!

This was our first private tour and it was amazing. The three teenagers were not looking forward to a morning at the gallery but they all had a great time. Mark was extremely knowledgable (but honest when he did not know the answers). He brought bags of enthusiasm, passion and a clear love of the arts and the Met. When we showed knowledge or interest in an artists he suddenly sparked into life and off we would dash to another piece to expand the conversation. I can’t praise Mark highly enough and he made for a most memorable stay. I’m not sure I want to walk into another gallery alone !

James our tour guide was fantastic! He made the whole experience even better! We would highly recommend this company to our friends and family, especially if James is your tour guide. Definitely one of the best tours we ever had!

First of all, Katherine our tour guide was a delight. Excellent communication before and after the tour. The tour was all based around our specific needs which included finding a spot for my mom to rest often. We were able to see so much of the museum thanks to the expertise and knowledge Katherine provided. Worth every single penny to maximize what we could see in a few short hours. We skipped what did not interest us and concentrated on the things that truly inspired us. Highly recommend Katherine and this tour.
