A 2-hour small-group guided tour through the Met’s top surprises, from Temple of Dendur to Monet, Van Gogh, and Rodin.
“Our tour and guide, Kevin exceeded our expectations. The group size was small (10) so we were asked if we had any specific pieces or time periods we wanted to explore. This was not a "cookie cutter" type tour. The 2 hours passed by so quickly - I was ready for another hour! The museum gets very busy so I suggest booking the earliest tour available and then eating at one of the cafes. Thanks, Kevin for a wonderful tour experience!”

“My wife and I as well as our teenage children loved this experience!! Marshall is an outstanding resource in Greenwich Village. She is engaging and kept us all entertained. She was also kind enough to share some knowledge about NYU as we moved by some of its buildings, as my son had some questions about the school.

“My teenage daughter and I were positively thrilled with the WHEN HARRY MET SEINFELD tour!!! Our tour guide, Max, was the greatest tour guide we've ever had the pleasure of dealing with... he was warm, friendly, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable about each and every aspect of the places we viewed and visited during this fantastic tour.
