About this tour

Discover New York’s art and green spaces on a guided outing that pairs the Metropolitan Museum of Art with Central Park.

Some galleries require quiet or restrict speaking, and the museum’s collections may change throughout the year.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 56 reviews. We place that rating among all Viator ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in New York City
  • 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: this tour scores 8.7. Top 6% in New York City means it ranks in the top 6% of tours in New York City by this score.
