Go with a guide! - Rob was our tour guide and he was exceptional. We do a lot of tours and he def ranked among our favorite guides. We had been to the Met by ourselves and it was just so overwhelming. Go with a guide, it makes the experience so much more enjoyable. I learned so much!

Excellent Metropolitan Highlights Tour - Since the Met is the fourth largest museum in the world it can be quite overwhelming. This Highlights Tour was absolutely brilliant since it gave us a good idea of what the Met is all about and we got to see some stunning pieces. Our guide, Richard, was polite, friendly and had excellent knowledge about the exhibits he showed us and together we went on a journey through time from ancient Egypt to ancient Greece to the Renaissance to Art Noveau, Impressionism and modern masterpieces. We highly recommend this tour especially if you are a "Met beginner" and/or are pressed for time.

Worth it-includes mudeum entry- skiped long line to buy pass - Our guide, Cherie was personable, accommodating, cared about each visitor's experience, and most importantly passionate and knowledgeable about the museum. She gave interesting insights to various highlights throughout the museum. This Met is too much to explore in a day so a guided tour is a nice way to see several highlights with great context about each targeted piece.

Great highlight tour - Michael was an awesome guide who helped us to quickly see highlights throughout the museum. We learned so much about the building as well as the significance of the many works of art and artists. This tour is a great introduction to the museum.

Not worth it - The instructions asked us to arrive 15 minutes early and we did. And then we stood around for 15 minutes after the scheduled start time listening to the guide advertise to us all of the other tours they offer. The tour also did not provide any meaningful insights intk the exhibits that we could not read or see on our own.
