The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Start with the Met and its roughly 2 million works of art and artifacts covering everything from Ancient Egypt to modern art. From the Great Hall, you’ll visit the museum’s most important galleries. Pass through the Medieval Europe Gallery on your way to the Studiolo from the Ducal Palace. Explore armory from the Middle Ages, including pieces worn by Henry VIII. The American wing hosts the staircase from the Chicago Stock Exchange as well as the famed portrait of Washington crossing the Delaware. A host of European painters including Vermeer, Picasso, and Van Gogh awaits you as you learn about their troubled yet exciting lives.

2 hours • Admission Ticket Included

American Museum of Natural History

After a break for lunch (at your own expense), check out a few of the 33 million objects housed in the American Museum of Natural History, covering basically all of Earth’s history. Begin with the museum itself as you learn about its history in the majestic Roosevelt Rotunda. Your guide will then reveal how the dioramas are made as you explore the giant African mammals of the Akeley Hall.

Then move towards the dinosaur exhibits where you’ll explore some of the most complete collections of dinosaur skeletons in the world. From the gargantuan Titanosaur to the more familiar T-Rex, you’ll feel like a kid again as you learn their stories. You’ll then move on to hear about the North American Forests, featuring the giant Sequoia, before gazing up at the giant Blue Whale hanging overhead in the Hall of Ocean Life. Visit some American mammals as you learn about the National Parks of the United States. Finally, blast off beyond our orbit in the Rose Center for Earth and Space to feel unbelievably insignificant facing the mysteries of the cosmos.

A tour guide for the Met is essential

Jeff was a great tour guide, especially for the Met. We would not have been able to figure out that place on our own.

Amazing way to see the Met - private family Anil the line tour.

We did the private skip the line met tour with Jeff and he was amazing. He went at a pace than worked for our tween and teen and kept it engaging and fun. We would recommend to any history or art loving families.

We had a wonderful experience- from before the time of booking when I asked a question and got an immediate response to the very end. I had requested to see a couple of exhibits that are usually extra on top of a general admission ticket. Babylon immediately told me it was no problem and to just make sure that I made that request in the notes at the time of purchase. The entire process was easy and I felt confident that the company was attentive due to the quick responses that I received. Directions for meeting our guide were very clear. We were open to seeing whatever the guide planned, but if you have something specific in mind, I would contact the company before purchasing the tour to make sure that you can be accommodated. In such large museums, there is no way to cover more than a fraction in only a few hours, so keep that in perspective. Our guide was knowledgeable and eager to share. He was personable and had a sense of humor. He was able to keep our 12 year old son interested from 10:30 to 4:00, covering two museums, so that speaks volumes! I highly recommend Babylon tours (and our tour guide, Matt)!

Mark was wonderful tour guide!
