The Metropolitan Museum of Art houses one of the greatest art collections in the world. With over two million works of art and artifacts, ranging from ancient Greece and Egypt to Modern art from Europe, it is New York’s must-see museum.
Maximize your time with a small group guided tour or a private tour of popular galleries with an expert guide. Alternatively, explore on your own after a 30-minute orientation session.
Walk through 5000 years of art history, seeing the Egyptian temple of Dendur, masterpieces of the Robert Lehman collection, the original facade of a Wall Street bank, and more! Art movements like impressionism, cubism, and abstract expressionism unfold before your eyes.
If there's a specific area you're excited to visit, ask your guide. You can stay and explore the exhibits until closing.
With your entry ticket, you can also visit The Cloisters uptown on the same day. The Met has extended hours on Friday and Saturday evenings for a quieter, exclusive experience.

The museum was spectacular and the tour guide was great.
Had a difficult time finding the tour guide. The meeting location was 81st and 5th avenue. We spent 15 minutes trying to locate the guide!!! Thanks to the museum’s staff we finally found him!!!!

It was interesting, we did a self tour. We were supposed to meet our guide at the 81st and fifth Avenue entrance. We went there and got sucked into the line going into the building. Which was fine but once inside we had no clue what to do and we went to the tour guide meeting area and they had no clue, the nice guy took his upstairs to the upstairs tour meeting area and told us to wait by the pharaoh. He said in case your tour guide checks in up here. He assured us if you checked in downstairs, he would send him up. The meet up time is noon, we were there about seventeen minutes to noon. And waited until almost 20 after. Thankfully the nice gal that worked at the met helped us to get tickets even though she had no record of the tour. So we missed our orientation but the nice young lady from The Met saved the day. Huge place, probably need 2 + visits to take it all in.

Our guide, Alex, was so helpful in helping us learn how to visit a museum like the Met and not get overwhelmed. His enthusiasm for art came through so clearly along with his knowledge. We will make future visits to the Met!

Our guide, Alex, was wonderful. Informative, interesting and enjoyable. He was totally knowledgeable about the facility and the art and it's history.

Not guided. Only times. Twice price of standard ticket. No lines to skip. Nothing special. Misleading. Would not recommend. Can walk up and purchase ticket yourselves for fraction of cost.

Small group guided Metropolitan Museum of Art Skip-the-Line Guided Tour - Semi-Private tour with Babylon Tours. Fantastic. Our guide Kathryn was incredibly well informed and so willingly informative. Kathryn provided easy to understand information. We saw so much in 2.5 hrs and learnt so much. We had a small group of 6. The MET is SO big a guide is recommended especially if time is limited.

Sam our guide was friendly but did not speak loud enough and didn’t really provide any profound insights into much of the exhibits to add much value.
I would have rather went ahead with a self guided tour as the museum entry is free and saved myself the cost of the tour guide and out that money towards dinner.

Unfortunately we had an awful experience with a guide visible intoxicated and in no conditions to explain anything.
