We did the MET tour with a large family group including children. The hidden secrets in ‘plain view” kept all of us entertained for hours! Experience this!
My family and I decided to take a guided tour, despite being native New Yorkers and avid Met goers because we wanted to learn more, and he did not disappoint. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning about the Met’s fascinating history and the treasures hidden inside!
