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.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for the butt-themed scavenger hunt on this tour?

A: The scavenger hunt is designed to be fun for all ages, but it’s good to know that some of the humor might be more suitable for older kids and adults. If you're bringing younger kids, maybe prep them a bit or adjust expectations. The guide usually makes it family-friendly, though!

Q: What should I wear for the tour? Is it a lot of walking?

A: Comfort is key! Wear comfy shoes since you'll be on your feet a lot, walking through the museum's grand halls. The temperature inside can vary, so layering is a good strategy. You might want to skip the heels unless you’re super confident!

Q: Can I reschedule if something comes up before the tour?

A: Yes, you can reschedule as long as you give at least 48 hours notice. Just reach out to the provider, and they’re usually pretty accommodating. I've had to change my plans before and they were super helpful!

Thinking about gifting this Met tour, but is it worth it?

Hey folks! I’m considering giving the 2-hour Metropolitan Museum Guided Tour as a gift. I know the Met is huge, but is the guided tour really that much better than wandering around? Any tips for what to expect? My friend loves art but has never been to NYC. Help!

Just did the Met tour and it was epic!

I went on the 2-hour tour last weekend and wow, it was amazing! Our guide was super knowledgeable and pointed out things I would’ve totally missed. The butt-themed scavenger hunt? So funny! Highly recommend it for anyone who loves art and wants a unique experience in NYC.
