Ryan was amazing! So helpful and informative. My husband is not big on art or museums, but he even admits the tour was incredibly interesting. Ryan made sure to answer all of our questions and kept the kids on our tour involved. Would highly recommend for anyone’s first time at the Met.

Cherie was excellent! She was very knowledgeable and friendly. She provided a great overview of the entire museum in two hours. This was very helpful since we were not familiar with the massive collection. She showed us many highlights that we might have missed.

My experience was awesome!
Our tour guide Katie was knowledgeable, helpful, kind, and had an unique sense of humor that made our tour fun and enjoyable.
Katie answered every question we had. Better yet, she really encouraged us to ask questions. Our two hours tour passed so fast, I couldn’t believe when it was time to leave! She gave us ideas of what to see after the guided tour ended. I will gladly take another tour with her!

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.
