We know a little about art, so it was helpful to enter the gallery before opening time (you notice the crowds, once it is open to the public) and have Megan guide us to the pictures you should see if on limited time. 2 to 2 1/2 hours is probably the amount of time you need before you decide you have had enough.
Spiro was great! I hadn’t been in 50 yrs and the tour was as enjoyable now as it was then.
Our guide Spiro was absolutely outstanding. I just wish we could have spent hours more with him. I learned more about art than ever before and my husband learned si much as well (and he has no appreciation for art). Highly recommend this tour. It was great!!!!
The tour guide was knowledgeable, friendly, efficient and fun. Mandy was great!
Spiro our guide was most awesome! He was very knowledgeable, clearly dedicated his life to art history. He was easy to hear, well organized and extremely engaging!
Shapiro was awesome...brought art history back to life for me!
Spiro was the best! He was extremely well-spoken, friendly, and knowledgeable. We all came away having learned a lot and feeling energized from the experience. Having such a good guide made us appreciate the art even much more. We wholeheartedly recommend him.
Great 2.5 hour highlights tour covering the massive museum. Well informed and entertaining guide. Would tour with this guide again.
It was very interesting lots of information. Our guide was friendly and was very informative. His name was Arnold.
Excellent tour with our guide, Spiro. Our small group had all levels of interest and experience - from novice to seasoned, and Spiro expertly led us through the museum with emphasis on the Impressionists. He additionally took the time to address questions and other interests. Seeing the museum with a guide as fun and knowledgeable as Spiro elevated our experience. Highly recommend.
