My boys and I took this tour during spring break. I appreciated that it was a small group. My boys are 13 and they were completely engaged the entire time. It was interactive and interesting and we got lots of sidebar stories. Evan is extremely knowledgeable and very warm.

This is a great tour! Evan is supremely knowledgeable and also very entertaining. A brilliant way to visit this awesome museum

Lisa_A

The history shared. It was evident that our tour director did indepth research prior to the tour. Her knowledge base was wonderful

MadamChauchat

Was pleasantly surprised that this tour was more educational than just sensationalistic! Evan integrates superstitions, mythology, history, evolution, and spirituality into the discussion to make it more insightful and give the pieces more depth. Evan worked at the Met for several years so she also provided a curatorial viewpoint.

My partner and I had a wonderful time on the Ghost Stories tour. Evan gave us clear instructions on where to meet the tour group. We had four people total in the group, including myself and my partner. Evan was very personable and engaging throughout the tour, including customizing some aspects of the tour based on our interests. She gave us fun activities for us to reflect on the various artworks and shared great information about each of the artworks. I've gone to the Met about a dozen times before, and Evan us showed us to new areas / artwork that I hadn't seen before. I'd strongly recommend this tour for both tourists and locals alike!

Very loud at MET -some content was irrelevant. Was expecting the Museum to be closed. Hard to hear with a group.

We have now attended several tours with Evan and she is amazing! She is truly knowledgeable, and makes the subject matter both entertaining and educational! We are looking forward to her next tour!

Absolutely wonderful tour! Evan is very knowledgable about the museum, the art, and the subjects on which she spoke: it is obvious she puts a lot of preparation into her tour. She is an engaging storyteller, and her topics are interesting and appropriately spooky in both concrete and philosophical ways. She sought out and included our daughters (9 and 11) in various tasks and questions throughout the tour, and they were thrilled! This tour was a highlight of our trip, and I can’t wait to see what Fable and Lark has to offer on our next journey to the Met!

I brought my husband on this tour and we had a great time. We heard interesting (and creepy) stories we’d never heard before and Evan was a fantastic guide. Highly recommend.
