Easily one of the best art museum in the world, with works spanning 6 continents and over 6,000 years, the Metropolitan is so vast you could easily spend days inside. If you don’t have days to spare, our Met Express Tour cuts to the core.
Your 2-hour tour starts when you meet your guide and small group of no more than 15 people at the entrance to the Met. The small group size ensures that you can ask all the questions you want and never miss a word of what your guide is saying. After a brief intro, it’s off to find some of the most bizarre and quirky pieces hidden within the enormous collection. A hippo with a limp? Check. A wardrobe malfunction from ancient Egypt? Yup. There’s even some kinky flemish dinnerware (if age appropriate, of course). You’ll also get the funny and fascinating backstories on more famous works and learn about the wild lives of artists like Monet and Van Gogh. Don’t forget about the butt-themed scavenger hunt; prepare yourself accordingly.

Ask for KEVIN and you will not be disappointed. Excellent knowledge base and friendly personality really makes the visit a gem. I know nothing about art and his narration and stories really made the visit.

Ryan, our guide was exceptional. His knowledge was vast, and he obviously enjoyed what he was doing. I wish the tour could have gone longer. Thank you, we had never been to on a tour before and were grateful for the experience.

Our tour guide Charlie was knowledgeable and entertaining. Good time management with a break at the mid in the cafe. Without him we will be wandering aimlessly in this huge museum.

There was some confusion in the beginning because another guest in the party was late. The guide still made the most of our time, even going over the tour scheduled timing to make sure we got to see all that we desired.

We had the tour with Jared and it was great. His insights into the history of the artefact and paintings were the highlight of the tour.

Super guide qui nous fait vivre une belle expérience. La visite paraît très courte malgré les deux heures de temps. Super !
