A host of European painters including Vermeer, Picasso, and Van Gogh await you as you learn about their troubled yet exciting lives.

Mark's tour was a perfect fit for us. His knowledge, experience, and love for art, history and the artists was amazing. His stories made the work come alive. And his sense of humor made the time fly. If you go to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, be sure to ask for Mark. You will learn so much more than going alone.

Tour guide Cheri was punctual and she managed the time well between exhibitions and bathroom break. Efficient way to spend 2.5 hours in the MET and you can stay longer afterwards. Good way to get an overview of the museum before diving into your favorites.
