C'est tellement grand et c'est une belle activité à faire en pleine canicule parce que ça passe l'après-midi de soleil. On apprend beaucoup et c'est magnifique.

Our personal guide Kathryn made the experience at the Natural History Museum a pure pleasure. Not only was she extremely knowledgeable and comfortable with all facets of the museum but she was very congenial and professional. Babylon tours- we’ll be back! Thanks Kathryn for a delightful experience!

Katherine was so knowledgeable and developed a wonderful rapport with all, particularly with grandchildren, 7yrs & 5 yrs. She engaged them beautifully w/ probing questions. I would book her again in a second. She was so excited to share her knowledge of the exhibits, time flew by. I would suggest the Shark Exhibit be done early, as there was too long a line when we arrived to view it as our last exhibit.

This is the way to see the museum. Our guide, Mark, was excellent. He kept us at the pace we wanted to go. Made sure we saw all the key exhibits but also allowed us to go places that caught our attention. We are looking forward to our next trip and we will have Mark take us through the Met.

Katherine was wonderful in keeping my two boys entertained throughout the 2-hour tour. The tour went by so quickly and we loved not having to wait in line to enter the museum. We would definitely do this tour again when we visit NYC.
