It was interesting, we did a self tour. We were supposed to meet our guide at the 81st and fifth Avenue entrance. We went there and got sucked into the line going into the building. Which was fine but once inside we had no clue what to do and we went to the tour guide meeting area and they had no clue, the nice guy took his upstairs to the upstairs tour meeting area and told us to wait by the pharaoh. He said in case your tour guide checks in up here. He assured us if you checked in downstairs, he would send him up. The meet up time is noon, we were there about seventeen minutes to noon. And waited until almost 20 after. Thankfully the nice gal that worked at the met helped us to get tickets even though she had no record of the tour. So we missed our orientation but the nice young lady from The Met saved the day. Huge place, probably need 2 + visits to take it all in.

Our guide, Alex, was so helpful in helping us learn how to visit a museum like the Met and not get overwhelmed. His enthusiasm for art came through so clearly along with his knowledge. We will make future visits to the Met!

Our guide, Alex, was wonderful. Informative, interesting and enjoyable. He was totally knowledgeable about the facility and the art and it's history.

Samir Matar was a fantastic guide who helped me navigate the huge museum and see all the highlights

Not guided. Only times. Twice price of standard ticket. No lines to skip. Nothing special. Misleading. Would not recommend. Can walk up and purchase ticket yourselves for fraction of cost.

My guide Jakob was amazing and so knowledgeable. He made my first time at the Met a great experience

Small group guided Metropolitan Museum of Art Skip-the-Line Guided Tour - Semi-Private tour with Babylon Tours. Fantastic. Our guide Kathryn was incredibly well informed and so willingly informative. Kathryn provided easy to understand information. We saw so much in 2.5 hrs and learnt so much. We had a small group of 6. The MET is SO big a guide is recommended especially if time is limited.

Sam our guide was friendly but did not speak loud enough and didn’t really provide any profound insights into much of the exhibits to add much value. I would have rather went ahead with a self guided tour as the museum entry is free and saved myself the cost of the tour guide and out that money towards dinner.

Unfortunately we had an awful experience with a guide visible intoxicated and in no conditions to explain anything.

Chris was very knowledgeable! He shared many details about the exhibits that we would have missed on our own. I just wish we would have started on time so we had more time to explore on our own.
