Educational and entertaining journey - Our tour with George was excellent. He is a true teacher and took the time to really explain the historical context of both Chapultepec Castle and the Museum of Anthropology. He has a talent for telling the story of each of the sites and was even able to keep my ten year old’s attention.

An Excellent Private Tour with a Master Story Teller and Historian! - We could not have a chosen a more animated and respectable tour guide. Jorge is a master story teller and historian who gave us a clear picture of the history of Chapultapec Castle and the Museum of Anthropolgy. Chapultapec did not disappoint. We booked the morning tour which was perfect. The Castle was not crowded, and we were able to take amazing photos all by ourselves. As we continued to the Museum of Anthropology, Jorge gave us a history of the Museum and gave insight on certain areas to explore in the vast museum which could take days to explore. Unfortunately we only had a few hours to explore given our schedule, but in the limited time and insight from Jorge, we truly enjoyed exploring the Aztec and Mayan exhibits. Muchas Gracias, Jorge!!! Hasta Luego!

Great time and wonderful experience - Jorge is so knowledgeable and incredibly friendly. I really enjoyed him giving us the real history of the Castillo and the Anthropology museum. I was very intrigued by his stories that I was not aware of. I can not recommend him enough! My daughters also enjoyed it very much and we went Bach home and told everyone everything we learned. It was such a great experience. Thank you Jorge!

Excellent and Informative Tour with a Knowledgeable Guide, Jorge - We had an excellent experience with Jorge on our private tour of Chapultepec Castle and the Museum of Anthropology. Jorge was extremely resourceful and knowledgeable, answering all of our questions with patience and enthusiasm. He arrived 10 minutes early to pick us up, which we greatly appreciated. The tour was well organized and informative. Jorge's explanations were thorough and engaging, particularly in the Aztec room at the Museum of Anthropology, where his detailed knowledge really shone through. We would highly recommend his tour to anyone interested in these historical sites. A couple of minor recommendations (if Jorge feels they would not significantly extend the tour time), would be to start with the Castle museum tour and slightly reduce the time spent in the Aztec room to allow for a visit to one more room in the Museum of Anthropology. The details Jorge provided in the Aztec room were excellent and we believe adding another room would enhance the overall experience. Overall, we were very pleased with the tour and strongly recommend Jorge for his expertise and excellent service.

Great choice for going solo :) - I booked last minute but was accommodated with a great welcome. I went alone and enjoyed a wonderful private trip. The tour guide was passionate and shared fascinating stories about Mexico and the artifacts in the museum. His extensive ethnological and anthropological-urban knowledge made the tour truly immersive. Before this tour, I knew very little about Mexican history and the culture of the Aztecs, so the tour served an excellent introduction. The balance between informative explanations and free time was perfect, allowing me to explore at my own pace at both the castle and the museum and enjoy the experience fully. I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in learning about Mexico's rich history and culture.
