Biblical Israel Through The Exhibits At The Met Museum

Jonathan was a wealth of knowledge. It was a great tour.

Jonathan was great! He’s got both substantial educational and progressional qualifications to lead this tour. He was super knowledgeable and most importantly passionate about the topic which makes it even more fun. I enjoyed my time with him and learned a lot. I also enjoyed that we were able to connect on a personal level which was easy because he’s very personable.

Jonathan was so knowledgeable not only about biblical historical aspects of the MET but the MET altogether! During our guide multiple individuals came up to ask him information as he was so knowledgeable and I could tell many wanted to join our private tour! Would definitely recommend especially in the future when more exhibits are available to see at the museum.

Johnathan was great, very knowledgeable very friendly. Fantastic first time experience at the metropolitan with a tour guide would gladly recommend the biblical themed tour

A wonderful way to see some highlights of the Met that have Biblical significance. Your guide Jonathan was A+ and we enjoyed the time together and learned so much! Highly recommend!

THE MET can be a bit visually overwhelming when you enter, as its such a big place 🤩 What was really awesome is that not only did Jonathan text me a picture of himself at the meet up point 👌🏽, but he was also there to greet us as soon as we entered the museum & even arranged to get us a wheelchair so that my elderly father could fully enjoy the tour. As we walked along, Jonathan did such an amazing job at connecting some of the artifacts we were seeing in the displays to stories in the Bible that those times correspond to. Really cool to see some visual references connecting to some of my favorite biblical stories 🙏🏽 I would highly recommend this guided tour w/ Jonathan, as Me & My father enjoyed every minute of our journey walking through the Met with Jonathan, we were learning so much but also able to admire/enjoy the beauty of The Met ❤️ I’m very glad I found this tour, it made our visit to The Met that much more special…10/10

Jonathan was very knowledgeable and fun to tour the Met with. My girlfriend and I learned a lot from him.

Jonathan was a perfect guide — personable, knowledgeable, and tailored the tour to exactly what we wanted. This was our fifth visit to the Met, and he shared new details about exhibits we had previously seen and tied together artifacts from different wings of the museum. We are eager to return and to recommend this specific tour to friends!

I enjoyed the tour very much. My 9 y. old son liked it a lot, was able to participate and ask questions. It was very informative and interesting. I visited museum many times on my own, but would never pay attention to many details highlighted during the guided tour. My highest recommendations, Julia

Very interesting tour. We learned so much and saw parts of the met we haven’t been to before. Our guide was very k owledgeable

Jonathan is an experienced, pleasant and informative guide. He led us through the maze of the Met to see fascinating relics of ancient cultures. Never would have seen those exhibits without him. Interesting tour!

Extremely pleasant guide with a broad background. Enjoyed the tour that showed highlights of many ancient cultures. Saw some fascinating exhibits I never would have seen.

The museum tour was really informative and interesting. Jonathan was very knowledgeable and he was able to offer insights and explanations of exhibits we had not previously seen.

Knowledgeable and interesting. I got this tour for my mom as she visited NY. She has a degree in biblical studies from Israel, and Jonathan the guide was able to teach her things she didn't know.

Our guide Jonathan was interesting and very knowledgeable. My mom has a degree in biblical studies from a university in Israel, and he was even able to teach her things she didn't know.

It was a great time to have much information that I would never had just visiting the Metropolitan Museum of Art by myself.

I had a tour w/a 3rd. Party guide.. his name's Jonathan. Very pleasant & helped us enjoy our visit. Ps. I didn't realize till the day b4 that his admission fee was significantly more $$$. But we enjoyed everything

We had a great experience with Jonathan. He is highly knowledgeable & very engaging. We loved the intersection of the museum and biblical history. Highly recommend.

We really enjoyed touring with Jonathan; his relaxed and informal style of storytelling was engaging but also allowed for individual exploration of the exhibits around the pieces which he used as the basis for his narration. Jonathan was knowledgeable about the subject matter and able to build interesting context around the artifacts that we discussed. We also enjoyed having the opportunity of stop in some of the unrelated exhibits on our way through the museum.

An amazing experience. We loved the guide. He had a lot of knowledge. A recommended way to visit the Met.

Jonathan is an amazing guide. He is not only knowledgeable but also is able to piece together the incredible biblical history through stories, images and artifacts. A must experience!

My fiancé and I took a trip to NYC for his birthday weekend. We came across this offer of touring the MET exhibits from a Biblical Israel perspective and we thought it was a great idea. From the very start of Jonathan becoming our tour guide, he was so helpful and accommodating, even when New York traffic and rain made us a little late for the start of our tour. He was also extremely knowledgeable about every exhibit we came across; ones that correlated with the topic of the biblical Israel timeline and those that were outside of that topic. He was very conversational and engaging when my fiancé and I brought up questions, and varying perspectives. If you have a chance to take this tour with Jonathan, do it. You’ll have the best time you could ask for at the MET!!!
