Explore The Met’s vast collection on a private, two-hour tour tailored to your interests and led by an art specialist.

About this tour

Explore New York’s Metropolitan Museum of Art with a private guide who helps bring its vast collection into focus. With more than two million works spanning 5,000 years of human history, The Met can feel like a labyrinth. This tailored visit makes room for the art and stories that matter most to you.

Meet your art specialist at the fountain by the museum’s front steps, then head inside with skip-the-line entry. Over two hours, your guide can shape the experience around your interests, whether you want to encounter ancient Egyptian treasures, European masters, or other highlights in the collection. Rather than wandering without a plan, you’ll have an expert to offer context and help you look more closely.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. Viator rates it 5.00 from 9 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 7.6. Top 24% in New York City means it ranks in the top 24% of tours in New York City by this score.
