Ryan, our Met guide was very personable and knowledgeable. He did a great job of showing us the highlights of the Met in just two hours. He had lots of interesting anecdotes that brought the art and artifacts to life. Highly recommend Ryan and this tour!

I have been to the met several times but don't know much about art, so hearing details about what you were seeing was very interesting to me. Rather than just seeing, you are learning.
