Highlights
Galleries, gardens, and unforgettable views — the Getty Center has it all. But with so much to see across this 110-acre campus, it’s easy to miss things. Our tour helps you make the most of your visit, guiding you straight to the museum’s must-see works along with exploring the gardens and architecture. With an expert leading the way, you’ll be dazzled by famous works like Van Gogh’s “Irises,” a self-portrait by Rembrandt, lavish decorative arts, 12th-century manuscripts, and more. And you’ll learn about the design of the garden and the building itself that make this landmark so unique. Along the way, your guide will share stories, historical context, and tips — plus the best views in LA. It’s a rich experience in just two hours, giving you a deeper appreciation for the Getty without feeling overwhelmed. Stay after the tour to explore more if you’d like or take the tram back down the mountains. Your local guide is happy to share recommendations for what to see and do next.
