Recommend 10/10 - Educando con Cultura made our trip to Mexico City x10 better. We found out about them at La Plaza Bellas Artes and we also booked a tour at El Castillo de Chapultepec and Teotihuacán. I highly recommend their services because they are really knowledgeable in the history and culture that will make a difference in understanding and enjoying the major historic attractions. My husband and I did the tours in Spanish but they also have tours in English. They are really friendly, the best way to reach them is by sending a text message through WhatsApp.

An Amazing experience! - My spouse and I had a great time on our tour with Diego. It was incredibly educational. Diego knows a great deal about Mexican history. Everything went nicely because he gave a thorough explanation of the information. We were fascinated  and motivated to find out more. We heartily endorse this tour! We recommend arriving early, as it gets very packed with tourists.

Pure catharsis of emotions, the guided tours!!! - The experience was fantastically wonderful. I had the opportunity to experience 2 tours. It is a real catharsis to participate in guided tours with the guides. Unspeakable. It's visceral!!! Suddenly, I was led to a pure and genuine synesthesia that connected me with Mexican art, with Beauty and the immense desire to return and take new guided tours with the Guides. It's very worth it. Congratulations. I highly recommend it!! Bravo!👏 👏 👏 👏

A must see in Mexico City. - Our guide, Diego lead a very professional and comprehensive tour of the 'castle', which is a very interesting and unique building. The Chapultepec Castle is a must-see in Mexico City and a tour by Educando con Concultura is a great way to be introduced to the building.

Incredible - I went with my family and the Chapultepec tour that Jaime gave us was extraordinary, he explained each of the rooms in detail, the history and context of each piece and murals. I highly recommend him if you want a tour of Chapultepec you have to take it with him.

The tour itself was good... - The tour itself was good and the guide was knowledgeable. He was also 45 minutes late for our party of 9, which was very frustrating.

Never book with Educacion con Cultura touring company - 0 stars. Even -1 star. The tour was booked for 10:30. We were at the meeting point at 10:20 and waited until 11:00. No one else showed up. No other tourists. No guide. It was a group tour. Called the company (educacion con cultura) 4 times. Answering machine... we left messages to call us back. Nothing. We did visit by ourselves. Paid for a guide on the spot. The company sent us a message at 4:00 saying that they had a computer problem and didn't see our booking. We sent them a message. No more answer. Bs system problem. I think we were the only ones who booked so they cancelled the tour at the last minute without informing us. We will report them to the Secretaria de Turismo. You should not deal with this company anymore.
