    Alex is best guide ever. He was knowledgeable, great sense of humor with many unknown and interesting stories about the artists and benefactors which were fascinating to hear as well as selecting pieces and pointing out details I may not have noticed thus enhancing the whole experience

    The Met is amazing! This tour was perfect for us, as we are seniors we did not want to spend hours attached to a guide. Alex helped when we needed him but let us go on our own, at our own speed.We could have used a little more advice ahead of time, such as "The museum doesn't open until 10:00AM" There is a handicap entrance and where it is, and there are no restaurants in the area on 5th Ave.(but there are food trucks in front)

    The museum was spectacular and the tour guide was great. Had a difficult time finding the tour guide. The meeting location was 81st and 5th avenue. We spent 15 minutes trying to locate the guide!!! Thanks to the museum’s staff we finally found him!!!!

    It was interesting, we did a self tour. We were supposed to meet our guide at the 81st and fifth Avenue entrance. We went there and got sucked into the line going into the building. Which was fine but once inside we had no clue what to do and we went to the tour guide meeting area and they had no clue, the nice guy took his upstairs to the upstairs tour meeting area and told us to wait by the pharaoh. He said in case your tour guide checks in up here. He assured us if you checked in downstairs, he would send him up. The meet up time is noon, we were there about seventeen minutes to noon. And waited until almost 20 after. Thankfully the nice gal that worked at the met helped us to get tickets even though she had no record of the tour. So we missed our orientation but the nice young lady from The Met saved the day. Huge place, probably need 2 + visits to take it all in.
