Mark exceeded my expectations. He was organized and communicated clearly before the tour started. Mark is knowledgeable about the museum, its history, and the art inside. His enthusiasm was contagious. He advised us on what to do and see after the tour ended. I absolutely recommend Mark and Babylon Tours.
Charlie was great! The was informative, engaging, and entertaining! Highly recommend him and this tour
We booked this tour for our 3 young children, 9, 6 and 2. Charlie was super responsive, professional and friendly! He reached out the day for to confirm time and meet up location, then follow up again the morning of the tour. The moment we met up we knew we had the right guide for our tour. Charlie was super charismatic and theatrical given his acting background, he engaged the kids right away and got their interest from the start to finish! He also provided lots of great tips and recommendations for NYC! I think our 2 yr old son is too young for the experience, but highly recommend for older children that love history, culture and art! We highly recommend the experience especially our guide Charlie!
My family and I had an wonderful time. Charlie is an amazing tour guide. You can go wrong. He is the best. Charlie for mayor!!!! Thank you Charlie!!! Phil
Kevin made the tour! He is so well-versed in art history, and he kept us all (teenagers included) enraptured. 2.5 hours flew by, and we learned so much.
