Walk through the Metropolitan Museum, guided by a charismatic storyteller who breathes life into this iconic New York City landmark. Get insightful facts and witty commentary woven around both renowned masterpieces and the museum's more eccentric treasures, including often-overlooked gems.

The Met's awe-inspiring diversity is its magic, and this tour's meticulously curated itinerary promises a vibrant palette of art, sculpture, jewels, artifacts, and even architecture. In intimate groups of 15 or fewer people, led by a savvy guide, guests will globe-trot without ever stepping outside Central Park.

The adventure begins in Ancient Egypt, admiring impeccably preserved tomb models. These miniature dioramas provide a glimpse into the life of the Tutankhamun era, with intriguing insights into the burial rituals of the time.

Our guide was VERY well informed and engaging! Took a picture of his QR Code and somehow lost it. If you aren’t a BOT tell him Marc Chagall.
