   Metropolitan Museum of Art

Meander through the Greek and Roman statuary, absorbing the sense of history as you admire ancient frescoes and the busts of emperors past. Hear about the scandal behind John Singer Sargent's Madame X and enjoy the highlights—and even a few hidden gems—of the Met, with a knowledgeable art expert guide to lead the way. This guided Met tour is the best way to take advantage of the riches that are inside one of the world’s greatest art museums, chose between the 2 hour or 3 hour options.
