Amazing morning of history! - We had such an amazing time with our guide Alicia! She was knowledgeable and personable and gave us such great insights and information during our tour. She gave us this great picture taking tip for the Museo de Antropología fountain- take it in slowmo video and don’t move! It’s an amazing shot! Hands down the Museo de Antropología was the best part of this tour. The Castillo de Chapultepec was great too but if I had to pick one, it would be the museo. I was literally overcome with emotion seeing all of the amazing history and beautiful relics of Mexican civilization. This tour was a 10/10 and if you’re lucky enough to get a guide like Alicia, even better. This was an amazing experience for my family.

Life Changing Tour with Antonio! - Antonio was an INCREDIBLE guide. We did the Spanish tour and his wealth of knowledge was immense. I highly encourage everyone to check out this museum with a guide, as it made an incredible place so much more impactful. I felt like a changed human coming out of the tour, cognizant of so much more in terms of the land I was on, the history of my ancestors, and the true majesty and legacy of indigenous peoples. Antonio gave us a beautiful overview at the start of the tour to orient us and familiarize us with the layout of the museum, and throughout our journey gave in-depth, well-rounded explanations of what felt like every exhibit. I cannot recommend this tour enough!

Really great tour - Leticia was great, she was very informed and very nice and last at my jokes. She was thoughtful of us. The tour itself was pretty good. We saw most of the anthropology museum, and we saw the most relevant parts of the Chapultepec castle. If we had more time, I’m pretty sure we would’ve seen more.

Educational! - Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history of Mexico, which we really appreciated! We were able to finish the museum of anthropology tour, but we ran late on the castle tour, so we left the group at the 5-hour mark. This tour is great for those who want to spend more time learning about all of the amazing details of each piece of art and the story behind them.

Museum and the castle - Overall, good although it was cut short by an hour. Our tour guide skipped one of the most interesting place which was the top floor of the castle with beautiful stained glass corridor. He could have even said, I'm done please see it by yourself.
