About this tour

The Met can feel like a city of its own. This New York Met Highlights Private Tour turns its vast galleries into a relaxed, personal visit, with admission included and a guide to help you find the works worth lingering over.

Over two hours, explore major galleries and celebrated highlights without worrying about getting lost. Your guide brings an artist’s perspective to technique, composition, color, and storytelling, keeping the conversation lively rather than lecture-like. The route can shift toward interests such as Egyptian art, European paintings, sculpture, or Asian art when possible. You can also pause for photo spots along the way. The tour is private, so the experience feels more like exploring with a knowledgeable friend than following a crowd. Meet inside the Great Hall after entering through the museum’s main Fifth Avenue entrance; your guide will send the exact meeting location and a photo the day before.

With the New York Met Highlights Private Tour, you can focus on enjoying the art instead of planning tickets or navigating alone. Book your visit and discover The Met at your own pace.

How this score is calculated

This tour has no TourTruth score yet: Viator doesn't show a usable rating for it. It gets a score as soon as a provider lists one.

How the score works
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10. Tours without a usable provider rating are not scored.
