Great

It seemed like the guide aim was not to educate, but to entertain. Didn’t cover much items, didn’t learn much about history or art. There were mostly just entertaining stories told in a long and vast manner with little to no value

We have been to the Met before but never done a tour. This 2 hour tour with Jett was great — lots of art, lots of interesting information and a very knowledgeable guide made this a wonderful experience for us. I would highly recommend this tour with him — you see ancient Egyptian art, American and European art, Tiffany glasswork, Michelangelo and Van Gogh. I have done other museum tours and the guides can be odd. Jett did an excellent job showing us major pieces and answering questions. Well done!

Our tour guide, Katie, is the best! She took us on a captivating tour of the Met, bringing to life the art exhibits with her gift of storytelling, humor, and heart. Her enthusiasm and passion to share her wealth of knowledge about the museum is a delight.

The museum is massive. You cannot appreciate it unless you have a tour or are familiar with this museum

Know Before You Book

I use a wheelchair; can I take this tour?

Yes! The Met is fully wheelchair accessible. However, if you cannot climb the stairs of the central entrance to reach the meeting point, there is a ground level entrance one block south, near the intersection of 81st street and 5th avenue. Tell the desk you need to use the elevator to meet a group in the main lobby (at pharaoh statue), which will then secure your entrance ticket. They will provide you with a temporary pass and help direct you upstairs.

Can I take photos in the Metropolitan Museum of Art?

Non-flash photography is allowed. However, flash photography and video cameras cannot be used inside the Museum. Selfie sticks are also prohibited.

Am I guaranteed to see all of the rooms and artworks listed?

All of the pieces listed in the tour description are viewable the vast majority of the time. However, the Met, like nearly all great museums, occasionally allows certain works to travel in temporary exhibitions or be lent to other institutions. The Met also allows private parties to book out certain rooms for events (most commonly the Temple of Dendur), rendering them inaccessible for the duration of the event. If one of the listed pieces is unable to be viewed, the guide, at their discretion, will substitute another piece of important value.

Are there any items that I can't bring inside the Met with me?

The Met won’t allow any food or beverages inside the museum other than water. You are allowed to bring your backpack but need to leave it in the cloak room, which is free of charge. Also, no luggage allowed. Make sure to have enough time to go through check in.
