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.

Fantastic tour. Our guide, Ryan, hit the high points of the Met and gave tips on how to make the most of subsequent visits. Would definitely recommend. My one caution is to arrive 30 minutes before the tour time to give yourself enough time to clear the museum’s security.

This was great. Gave information on the displays, learnt how to recognise era and areas sculptures can come from, and an overview of where and what is in the Met. Free to stay/go for the rest of the day to enjoy at your own leisure and see the rest or revisit where you were. Very happy with this. Guide was fabulous too.

Our guide Charlie was just delightful! It was our first time at The Met and thought it would give us a better experience than just in our own. It’s a great tour and was glad Our guide could share with us his knowledge of the contents within.

The guide was very knowledgeable! We really enjoyed spending most of time learning about the Egyptian, sculpture, armor, and weapons displays, and not just the paintings. Very worthwhile!
