Then we met Sam — a guide with a mind shaped by Wesleyan and Harvard Law, and a heart shaped by curiosity. He led us through the museum not by spotlight, but by shadow — the overlooked pieces, the hidden architectural corners, the stories people walk past without knowing what they’ve missed. His knowledge was exceptional, his passion infectious. He even stayed with us past the tour’s end so we didn’t feel rushed. We left feeling like we’d not only seen a new side of The Met, but also made a new connection in this city! - Bryan & Joy, OFFROUTE Wine Co.

Don’t just take our word for it
B was GREAT she was on time, she was fun and happy and she took us through the looking glass of how art has evolved over time in a way I had not had context before ... it was truly interesting and inspired us all - a group of ages 12 to 58 - and we each enjoyed it thoroughly and learned new wonderful things. Thank you B.
Irina gave us a wonderful tour! We saw and learnt so much. Thank you Irina
