A few of our reviews:

Fantastic Experience!

“You know when you meet someone that is so passionate about what they do that is affects everyone else around! This is Marisa- Her love for history, archeology, ancient Egypt and Rome, the Impressionists, the history of The Met… was infectious! I enjoyed so very much the up close and personal time we had learning about the past. She is patient and takes her time explaining each artifact. It was so precise and so easy to understand for myself and my 8 year old daughter. She even provided real artifacts for us to touch! Incredible!!! My love for history only increased and I can’t wait to catch the tour on Rome! Hands down, the best best!!

A Must do!!! Amazing from start to finish- We can’t wait to go back with Marisa!

“I cannot tell you how amazing Marisa was from start to finish. She captivated all ages and levels of knowledge. Our pre-museum zoom was SO informative and really helped to orient the kids and adults. Once we got there she had a well laid plan to see what the children had requested, and the knowledge to discuss all of it in their language, as well as educate the adults. Her patience was extraordinary, her knowledge even more impressive We can not wait to see more of The Met with Marisa!”
