  • The tour was great! I've been to the Met many times before but it was nice to get a more in-depth view and history behind some artwork I wouldn't have been able to get on my own. Jen was a funny and informative tour guide.
  • Fabulous! Lindsay and Jim are both wonderful guides. A super fun evening with super fun people.
  • We had the best time on our tour with Kevin. He was fun, informative, interesting, and made everyone feel included. Highly recommend even if you've already been to the museum!
  • Such a great tour! We had an amazing tour guide (Elizabeth) who gave us a museum experience like we never had before. It was high energy, informative and we learned things we would have otherwise missed out on while experiencing the Met. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to know more about the female influences at the Met or just a great tour in general.
  • Amazing class! So much fun and learned so much. Was sad when the afternoon ended!
  • The tour was refreshing and very comical and enjoyable. All the major points of the museum were touched. Our tour guide had a very dry and sarcastic sense of humor that made the tour extremely funny.
  • It was very interesting made especially so by the group leader. Would do another
  • What a fun and educational afternoon! Jen was amazing, and the time flew by—lots of laughs and learning!
  • Fun and entertaining with interesting stories all the way. Lots of energy and very interactive
  • Elizabeth and Jim were such a great team! I am a native New Yorker and I have been to the museum several times before, but this tour taught me little interesting facts that I was not aware of. I highly recommend this tour!
  • Very entertaining !
  • Love LOVED this tour. Our guides Sara and Anna were funny, engaging, and so knowledgeable. I'd visited the Met many times over the years but enjoyed works I had never seen before thanks to this inventive and inspiring tour. My 17-year-old niece and I so enjoyed it that we are sending other family members to take the tour to experience as well! Highly recommend.
  • The class was fun and informative. Nice afternoon at the Met.
  • Brilliant!
  • It was great. Our guide Elizabeth was a great story teller and knew her material. She made it interesting and fun at the same time I would recommend it to all Carolyn
  • It was a fun an informative class , Kristina was great! I would highly recommend this tour
  • Awesome tour. Had bought this for my wife’s birthday and she loved it. Sarah was an amazing guide. Thank you very much
  • Our tour was fabulous! Two hours of energy, laughs, entertainment and learning. I would thoroughly recommend. We went to parts of the museum I never knew existed and was charmingly explained. Definitely will book again. Our guide was a hoot, brilliant and a plethora of knowledge.
  • Really fun tour!! I highly recommend it!
  • It was enjoyable pleasant enough
  • I thought that the tour was AMAZING! Lindsey was AMAZINGLY AWESOME! She was energetic, entertaining and steeped with knowledge! I loved the tour!
  • I had an excellent experience thanks to Zaks our guide. He was able to inform and orient us in a very dynamic and fun way. The two hours passed so quickly!!! Towards the end I felt a learned a lot. I would to the tour again!!! Thanks Zaks.
  • We have been to the Museum of Natural History many time over the years, but really enjoyed hearing the inside scoop about some of the most popular attractions. Lindsay, our vivacious guide, made it lively and fun!! Who knew where that huge meteorite was found and how it made it to that hallowed building in NYC in the mid 19th venture? And the hilarious prank played on the poor guy responsible for adhering the enormous blue whale to the ceiling in the oceanography hall? You don’t forget these stories.
  • This tour was insightful, interesting and fun. Elizabeth was absolutely fantastic! Her humor, passion and knowledge of the subject matter made the experience very memorable. I highly recommend Badass Bitches of the Met!
  • Kevin was a fantastic guide. Informative and entertaining. Glad I signed up.
  • I never had so much fun at the museum before. Our guide Kristina was witty, engaging and a superb comedian. You will see things that you never noticed and hear stories that will be entertainingly stimulating and at most time puzzling. It was perfect for our girls night out.
  • A highly recommended tour. I enjoyed the two hours at the Met with our knowledgeable guide Elizabeth. Elizabeth made our learning experience a joyful one. Do not miss it.
  • This was so much fun! The stories were amazing, including some additional information on well known women of NYC. I loved that there were a mix of ages, genders, and experiences in the group. It was a whirlwind so make sure you bring good walking shoes.
  • So much fun! Kiley and Sara were knowledgeable and showed us art and gave us info we never would have known about. Lots of laughs too. highly recommend!
  • Elizabeth was amazing! Such a treat! She was so well prepared, fun, smart and interactive! My sisters and I had a great time! I have recommended this tour to many of my friends! Looking forward to more Course Horse in the new year! Thank you for the excellent job you do!
  • It’s different experience than to go by Yourself and read the “stories “. Most of the time I don’t remember anything. But with this experience in museum I not just remember, but I am telling my friends too. We didn’t explore everything ( its not possible anyway) but everything we talked about was interesting and memorable. Thank You
  • Awesome! Highly recommend.
  • Love it! Really fun and interesting!
  • It was entertaining and enlightening at the same time. I wish it was longer. Full 3 hours or even more. Kevin and Lindsey made it fun.
  • Kiley was a funny, charismatic tour guide who helped us work our way through almost every part of the met. the tour was engaging and so informative! The MET deserves more female artists, and more of New York needs to hear their stories! Can't wait for the next museum hack!
  • Kylie, our tour ‘informabt’ Was fun, peppy & a tru character. What a welcome change from a docent tour. My friend, Laura, & I thoroughly were enthralled with her enthusiasm each & every portion of the tour. Just enough time. I have already recommended it to a friend in Washington. Thanks! Lizzie
  • Ladies - run, do not walk - to sign up for this tour. So affirming to our gender. Our tour guide Kylie was hilarious in the stories she built around the brave women who unapologetically created art or influenced some of the masters. What a great way to view the Met's collection. You will never see it the same way after this. Kylie was incredibly charismatic in the tales she wove of behind the scenes and little-known facts about these women. We played fun interactive games. My daughter and I can't wait to do another tour.
  • Nate, our guide took us on a road less traveled. The pace was just right as we went on a journey exploring the “rest of the story”. He was well informed, energetic, and very funny. I had a great time!!!
  • Funny & knowledgeable. A new twist on an old idea
  • The tour was educational, fun, & empowering. Anna was an amazing facilitator & guide!
  • Awesome experience
  • Loved the fun Met tour. Our guide was funny and energetic. She had lots of great knowledge in different museum pieces. Fun afternoon :)0
  • Kevin and Evan were our guides for this tour. It was the equivolent to a walking art history comedy show. The right amount of knowledge and humor to make this 2 hour tour worth taking. If you are interested in learning something new in a fun way, this is the tour for you.
  • Great tour! Entertaining and informative. Our guides were lovely
  • Elizabeth was a wonderful docent. The entire group was fun to be with for an afternoon at the Met.
  • Ben was easy to find and very welcoming I felt at ease immediately I really enjoyed the tour of the Met and the fun interesting way he presented information. Excellent job would love to do other tours
  • Lindsay was great! Excellent course... will absolutely recommend!! Thanks!
  • Great!
  • Very interesting eclectic tour of the Met. I've been to the Met many times, but found, through this tour, that was much that I hadn't noticed or been shown before. Anna was terrific!
  • We thought it was a great family activity and fun for all. Ana was super interesting and entertaining. So fun to go out and see art in a different way. I would recommend this to any visitor wanting to have fun with art!
