We had a great time while visiting the MET! Our tour guide (Jett) was very knowledgeable and humorous! He was able to show us various exhibits and very popular paintings throughout the museum. Also he was able to tell the back story of the artist and the work being displayed. Even though it was only 2 hrs, it was very informative. We left the MET knowing more about our favorite artist. It was a great tour!!!

Ryan was an excellent tour guide for the 2- and 3- hr tours. We walked through the divine Egypt collection, Greco-Roman art, the newly re-opened Oceania wing, and saw many of the European artists and sculptures.So much to see and so little time! The 3-hr guided tour is worth it!
