My style is relaxed, energetic, and conversational — not a formal art-history lecture. • See the classics without getting lost. I’ll guide you through must-see highlights and major galleries. • Flexible to your interests. Love Egyptian art, European paintings, sculpture, Asian art, or something else? I can adjust the route when possible. • An artist’s perspective. With a visual arts background, I can point out technique, composition, color, and storytelling simply. • Great photos, too. I’m happy to help with photo spots. Most importantly, this tour is about enjoying The Met and having a genuinely good time — not memorizing facts.
