I had an amazing experience on this tour! Our guide, Marianne, was the perfect mix of knowledgeable, entertaining, and genuinely fun. She brought the history and stories to life in a way that kept is completely engaged from start to finish. The props she used were such a unique touch — not only did they make the explanations clearer, but the extra layer of a visual help me remember. You could really tell how passionate she is show casing the Highlights of the Met museum. I left feeling like I learned a ton and had an absolute blast at the same time. I highly recommend this guide to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable tour!

Our Met tour with Robin was excellent! Contact was easy and seamless, and we were able to meet Robin immediately upon entering the museum. Robin is extremely knowledgeable of the museum and made our tour a wonderful experience. We really didn’t have a plan for what we wanted to see but Robin came up with a tour that exceeded our expectations. You will not be disappointed with this tour or Robin as the tour guide. I would love to do it again because the museum is so large and there’s not enough time to see everything.

This tour was informative and a lot of fun. It was super helpful to hit some highlights when you are dealing with something on the size and scale of the Met. Johnathan was very relaxed, and it felt, in some ways, like taking a leisurely walk through the museum with a friend. It was the best. Highly recommended.

This is the only way to make the most of your visit. We covered so much ground! Our guide, Katherine, was the best I’ve ever had. Her knowledge was amazing and so interesting . She encouraged our questions. I’m a native New Yorker and she told us so much history about the building itself, I had no idea. Best decision & so lucky with this fantastic guide.

My husband and I did a Highlights of the Met Museum Tour with Katherine from Cicerone Travel. Katherine had a wealth of knowledge about the museum, was fun and interesting. The two and half hour tour flew by! Also, Cicerone was efficient and I expect we will do future tours with them.
