Viator VIP: EmptyMet Tour at The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Not cheap, but well worth the money. To see the MMoA ahead of the crowds with a personal guide is something amazing. From being able to clearly hear your guides and close up views of exhibits, through to being able to take photos of completely empty rooms - an amazing experience. And, just as we finished up the front doors opened and floods of people came in. So glad we saw the museum this way and now think it may be the only way to visit museums!

Perfect way to see the art and get great photos without all the crowds!

Although I am not much for museums, this was a great tour. To be able to get into one of the best museums in the country before the general public is a great experience. Our guide was excellent.

I would highly recommend this tour as it was well worth the money to have 90 minutes in the Met with only about 20 other people.

Loved the early morning tour of the Met! It was so interesting and it makes the art more special when you know some of the history behind it. We wish we could have followed the tour guide around the museum all day.

The empty space was a privilege. A small group of around 25 of us were alone in the Met for an hour and a half before the doors opened at 10am. We drifted past barriers reserved for later lines who would need to queue to get into the Temple of Dendur or even the cafe. When our early-morning tour was over, we had access to everything else. So you can see what you want to see, after your tour, yet cherish the knowledge that you've seen it without the crowds getting in between you and the picture or sculpture. Much recommended.

AWESOME !!!!!

Amazing being in with no other people being able to see a huge selection of items and get the history behind them. Gives a great start to what you want to go and look at in depth later on. Highly recommended!

Having the museum all to yourself was epic. The tour guide was super knowledgeable also. The only downside is that some of the iconic paintings were outta town in Paris (for a Louis Vuitton best of MoMA event...lol). It would have been nice to know that beforehand.

Great overview of the Met, its development of collections and its facilities. Very knowledgeable guide and she was very helpful in answering questions from us. I am a Met veteran lots of visits since 1973! and this tour was a total delight and I learned so much in just 90 minutes!
