    The tour was great! I've been to the Met many times before but it was nice to get a more in-depth view and history behind some artwork I wouldn't have been able to get on my own. Jen was a funny and informative tour guide.

    The tour was refreshing and very comical and enjoyable. All the major points of the museum were touched. Our tour guide had a very dry and sarcastic sense of humor that made the tour extremely funny.

    The tour guide was lively, entertaining, and engaged. However, she walked to quickly for some of the older members of our group. Also, her speech was sprinkled with F… ING and other curse words which was completely unsuitable for the situation.

    Nate, our guide took us on a road less traveled. The pace was just right as we went on a journey exploring the “rest of the story”. He was well informed, energetic, and very funny. I had a great time!!!

    Nate was great. The tour was fun and informative. I would have preferred that we covered twice as many pieces of art with half as much time spent at each one. But that’s just me - I have a short attention span.

    Very interesting eclectic tour of the Met. I've been to the Met many times, but found, through this tour, that was much that I hadn't noticed or been shown before. Anna was terrific!
