When should I get there?

Are gratuities included?

Tips aren’t included but are always appreciated by our guides. If you think your guide did an outstanding job, a tip is a great way to show that.

Will I see the best artwork?

We aim to show you the finest works at the Metropolitan during the tour. Please note that specific works are subject to availability. If an art piece that we typically show isn't currently on display, your guide will substitute it with something else.
