Charlie was great. Brought his acting and art backgrounds to the tour. Great energy level. The Met was great as always.

While very knowledgeable, Stephane, our tour guide, lacked skills in guiding tours. The museum is loud in many areas and there are people all around. Stephane would walk ahead of the group and start talking about the piece before the whole group was gathered. He was soft spoken and had a strong accent, so we only understood a third of the information he gave. It was frustrating.

I was skeptical of the idea of having a guided tour, but Katie was thoughtful, informative, and fun! She did a great job providing insight to the different areas we visited and being both humorous and sensitive. Definitely worthwhile. We highly commend her for her work! ????????
