My mother and I had a wonderful time with Kevin as he guided us through some of the lesser known facts and features of the Met. While my mom has been to the Met numerous times over the years, she learned a great deal of new information on this tour. Kevin was funny, engaging and extremely knowledgeable about the Met and NYC history in general.

Kevin was a wealth of information and we would definitely work with him again. The specific items he pointed out were very interesting and not ones you would have noticed on a self guided tour. Plus, seeing the Monet’s, Van Gogh’s and other great works of art made my day

John was a great guide and gave us the insight that we would not have had otherwise. Especially liked the Musical Instruments exhibit along with the Armor exhibit

Kevin was a remarkable guide. He truly knew the Met like the back of his hand, which is a big undertaking. 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!

Kevin Draper, co-owner and our tour guide, was excellent. Knowledgeable about all the art we examined, selected the highlights, knew the historical details, including the acquisition of the piece, as well as the creation of the art. Well worth the price. The only way to see such an overwhelming collection such as the Met!

A NYC trip wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the Met, but to be honest, we almost skipped it. We tend to lean towards attending sporting events, broadway shows, shopping, etc.

But now, we see the Met differently after our tour with Kevin!! He was a fabulous tour guide, the absolute best! We signed up for a private 2 hour tour and at first glance, the Met appeared overwhelming - too many things to look at and so crowded. My 16 yr old son and I joked with Kevin when we first met and asked for an even more condensed, ultra quick tour, lol

BUT Kevin made the tour way too good! His stories and insider information/details were so interesting, we both found ourselves wanting to stay and learn even more! He was so knowledgeable - we couldn’t have asked for a more enjoyable afternoon. It turned out to be one of the top highlights of our trip!

Highly recommend Kevin and his tours - we plan to sign up for another and probably would not visit the Met again without him - he has 10 different tours
for the Met alone and his Gilded Age tour sounds amazing!
