About this tour

Explore 5,000 years of world history on a guided visit to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, where landmark works and quieter corners share the stage. The Met’s Fifth Avenue home is a collection of connected structures dating back to 1880, and the museum continues to evolve alongside its art and exhibitions.

Over two hours, your guide leads you through highlights that bring the collection’s breadth to life. See Washington Crossing the Delaware in the American Wing, explore the recently reopened Africa and Oceania wing, and pause in the Chinese scholar garden. The route also includes the visible display section and the majestic Egyptian Temple of Dendur, with other notable works and gallery spaces along the way. A guided tour of the Met offers context for the objects and spaces that many visitors pass by.

Meet at the foot of the grand staircase on the museum side of 82nd Street and Fifth Avenue. Book your New York Metropolitan Museum guided tour to experience the stories behind this remarkable collection.

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.
