Perfect afternoon exploring this amazing museum

What a fun tour with Rob C! This was my friends’ and my first time at the Met and we felt overwhelmed by the scale, so we booked this tour. What a fun afternoon! It was the perfect way to discover the museum, navigate through the many eras and learn so many fun back stories about the art and the museum. I particularly enjoyed seeing my first Vermeer in real life, and the incredible Impressionist collection that the museum assembled.

Exceptional private tour of the Met

Exceptional private tour of the Met

We had the absolute privilege of taking a private tour of The Met with Katherine, and it was nothing short of extraordinary. Katherine is a true connoisseur of art—deeply knowledgeable, eloquent, and passionate in a way that brings every piece to life. She thoughtfully curated our experience, weaving in fascinating insights while guiding us through hidden corners and masterpieces we would have surely overlooked on our own.What impressed me most was how attentive she was to our personal interests. She ensured we spent time in the wings that mattered most to me, while still surprising us with treasures and perspectives...

Afternoon at the Met!

Cherie was fantastic! And so knowledge.label. We saw all the main events in an efficient 2.5 hours, which we would never have been otherwise able to do ourselves. I’ve got some great photos and knowledge now. Thank you Cherie and Babylon!

New York City Tours : The City That Never Sleeps

The most populous city in the United States moves at a frenetic pace, so let one of our expert local guides cherry-pick the best that the Big Apple has to offer. Split your time between exploring New York’s boroughs, learning about the fascinating contents of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, or visiting the Statue of Liberty. 

New Yorkers love the chance to talk about their beloved city. Find out what really makes this metropolis tick with a private guided tour by one of our English-speaking local tour guides. 

New York is comprised of five boroughs, and we’ve selected the areas we think you’ll get the most bang for your buck with an information-packed walking tour. Discover the pearls of Midtown Manhattan, from the dazzling lights of Broadway and Times Square to the dizzying heights of the Rockefeller Center and the Empire State Building. A 2.5-hour tour of Lower Manhattan will introduce you to the Dutch and colonial origins of the city, as well as the commercial hub of Wall Street, the historic neighborhoods of SoHo and Tribeca, and the poignant site of the 9/11 Memorial Museum. 
If you’re craving some greenery, our Essential Central Park guided walking tour will explore this expansive 843-acre oasis in the city. Our engaging guides can show you the must-see spots along the whopping 58-miles of winding pathways, including Belvedere Castle, Bow Bridge, the Conservatory Gardens and Strawberry Fields – the area paying tribute to the late Beatle, John Lennon.   

Try our Art: Central Park and Metropolitan Museum of Art tour, combining the highlights of the park with the world-renowned Met Museum. All tours include queue jump privileges, and there will be a time for a short break between visits where your guide can recommend some local foodie hotspots.

Cram even more into your visit with a must-see private tour of the Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island, one of New York’s most iconic landmarks and the reassuring sight for more than 14 million immigrants arriving at the ‘New World’ until the 1920s.
