Great tour through the highlights of the Met collection. We would have been lost without our guide, Berfu.
We experienced a great crash course of the Met. Sam both had a plan, and was very flexible. His knowledge of the art at the Met seems to be boundless. Sam masterfully demonstrated to us how all the civilizations over time, their art, the skills and knowledge, are all influenced by each other.
Loved the tour! Frank was super knowledgeable and the walk was well paced. Learned a ton.
