The tour with Jett was an excellent overview of the Museum. Very much interesting information packed into the two hours. We have been to the Met before, but this tour helped us figure out what else we want to focus on when we visited two days after the tour!

The guide introduced me to parts of the museum that I wouldn’t have explored on my own. She was informative. Really enjoyed touring with her

A Must-Do Tour Experience with Charlie! I had a fantastic experience on a three-hour guided tour with Charlie. From start to finish, he was incredibly well-spoken, engaging, and thoughtful in the way he led the group. He made sure everyone felt included and welcomed, which created such a positive and comfortable atmosphere. We covered all the major highlights at a great pace, and his storytelling brought the history and details to life in such a memorable way. Charlie’s passion and knowledge truly elevated the experience—I’d absolutely recommend this tour and would gladly book with him again!

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.
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.
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.
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.
