Our tour guide was Edwin and he was incredible. He was so knowledgeable, nice, and excellent at communicating the meeting location. Definitely book it!!
Edwin was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable, friendly and always up for answering any questions. He really helped us focus and navigate such a giant museum.
Edwin was very knowledgeable! Took us through the different periods and very much enjoyed the guide!
We had an exceptional experience at the National Museum of Anthropology with Edwin. His knowledge, passion, and engaging storytelling brought Mexico’s ancient civilizations to life. He shared fascinating details we would have easily missed on our own. Highly recommended Edwin made the visit truly unforgettable!
The whole guide experience is absolutely amazing. Our guide Edwin is definitely a profession in this field. He contacted me in the morning with very clear descriptions about meeting point. BTW, if you book for morning trip, please get your waking up coffee and breakfast in your hotel. Cafes around the museum is too far due to the limited time. Edwin prepared our tickets in advance, and guided us a good cafe in the museum. Since it’s a very large museum, Edwin guided us based on chronological history of pre-Hispanic México. In the whole process, he kept double checking if we had any questions, while he could answer any questions (maybe wired) very well. His English is easily to understand. I highly recommended this tour and Edwin, as well as his company if you need other tours in Mexico. They will treat you well :)
We had an outstanding two-day tour of Mexico City with Edwin from Triptlan, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly. He is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. When we had to queue under the hot sun, he even brought umbrellas to keep us comfortable—a thoughtful gesture that really stood out. His English is excellent, and his knowledge of the city’s history and culture is exceptional. Over two days, he guided us through the National Museum of Anthropology, Chapultepec Castle, the Historic Centre, the Cathedral, Templo Mayor, Xochimilco, Coyoacán, and the Frida Kahlo Museum, making every stop engaging and memorable. If you’re looking for the perfect guide in Mexico City, don’t look any further. Edwin is simply outstanding!
Incredible experience that I would highly recommend, my tour guide extremely knowledgeable and took me through the museum in a way that I wouldn’t have been able to experience myself.
Visiting the National Museum of Anthropology was already at the top of our Mexico City bucket list, but having Edwin as our guide made it an unforgettable experience. Edwin is an outstanding storyteller who transforms what could be an overwhelming museum visit into an engaging journey through Mexico’s rich history and cultures.
VIP pass for two. Great tour guide, very knowledgeable, friendly and fun.
Visited the Anthropology museum with my wife in Feb 2026. We were so happy we used Edwin for this tour. His knowledge of the history of Mexico is amazing, and he made the visit so much better than it would have been without him. Understandign the history and being able to hear stories connected to the history made our day. Well worth it! Thank you Edwin
Our private tour of the anthroplogy museum with Karla was the highlight of our trip! Her passion for the history and its presentation is self evident, and it was an engaging and wonderful experience.
Karla was exceptional! Her knowledge and story telling created a personalized experience that was truly once in a lifetime. If you are so fortunate to have Karla as your guide, then you are in for a supremely educational and engaging trip.
Very thorough historian. We appreciated his patience and knowledge. Unfortunately, moderately heavy accent made it difficult to understand for the group. Would not recommend using laser pointer in museum. Although helpful for tour explanation which we appreciated, the laser refracts from glass and back into tour members eyes.
Edwin was a very knowledgeable tour guide. He also showed the kids how Mayan math worked. Very prompt communication on the morning of the tour to coordinate logistics.
The experience was very seamless and easy, we had to book last minute after our guide through another company cancelled on us. Clara, our guide, was very knowledgeable. I appreciated how she painted a logical story for us and I feel that the 3 hours gave us a good overview of what was important regarding the main Aztec and Mayan exhibits (there is of course a lot more to see in the museum that would take days to do but I think we hit the highlights). Having a good guide enhanced the experience so much more for us, it would have been a much poorer experience had we tried to go without Clara.
We had a great time with Edwin in connection with Triptlan. He was an exceptional guide that made sure everyone in our group got something unique out of the tour. Did a great job of blending educational with interesting as well as a sense of how the museum topics blend into current Mexican culture.
I love the experience, very professional and the amount of knowledge that the guide and support provide to us was great
We thoroughly enjoyed the tour led by our guide, Edwin. It was very pleasant, and he answered all our questions. He was very kind to us.
Laura was an amazing tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable and engaging with about the history and culture of Mexico. Highly, highly recommend!
Our guide was great. He had lots of helpful information and was very friendly and personable! He was also great with the kids!
We had a great experience with our guide Edwin today. He is very knowledgeable on Mexican history and all the traditions/cultures. We the family learned a lot and got great interest in exploring further on Mexican cultures in the future. Thanks Edwin for the great tour!
We were visiting Mexico for the first time and wanted to learn more about its culture and history. We were heading to the Teotihuacán Pyramid the next day, but we thought the Museo Nacional de Antropología would give us the background we would need. It was very special to get a private tour in English with Clara. Clara was very knowledgeable about the items in the Museum and it was so great to be able to ask questions. We were impressed and appreciative of her friendliness and knowledge. She was very responsive to us when we needed a rest or a coffee break. We would highly recommend Clara.
Simply fantastic tour! The museum is not to be missed and Karla is a historian and extremely knowledgeable about MesoAmerican culture. She made the entire experience first class. Highly recommended.
Edwin was brilliant. He is a true anthropologist and historian. He was able to communicate effectively with a mixture of natives and foreign visitors making sure that we all understood the importance and significance of every time period and artifact in the museum. Edwin was also friendly and approachable. When we had questions he always fully explained with great patience and kindness. Edwin also has a pretty good sense of humor! We also learned how to count like a Mayan! Thank you Edwin for enriching our experience at the museum. You brought the artifacts to life!
Edwin is a fabulous tour guide. He brought us here first and explained in detail the history, beliefs, and culture of Mexico’s many indigenous groups. We then proceeded to visit places in and around Mexico City on the following day that he has talked about during our tour of the archeological museum. Edwin is probably the best tour guide I’ve even dealt with. His knowledge and enthusiasm for the historical significance of Mexico is unparalleled. Don’t waste time or money on other tours!!
Learn a lot about Mexican culture and our guide Edwin explain everything very well and it was also fun to learn about all this history.
Amazing Experience - Highly Recommended! I recently took this tour and had an absolutely fantastic time! From start to finish, everything was well-organized, professional, and incredibly enjoyable. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate, sharing interesting facts tha really made the experience special. The itinerary was perfectly balanced - we got to see all the main highlights without feeli rushed, and there was even some free time to explore on our own. The transportation w comfortable, and everything ran smoothly.
My visit to the National Museum of Anthropology was much more than just a tour it was a true immersion into the deepest roots of Mexico, all thanks to the excellent experience organized by Triptlán. From the beginning, the service was punctual, well coordinated, and offered personalized attention that really made a difference. Our guide, who was very knowledgeable and passionate about history, made each section engaging and helped us connect deeply with Mexico’s rich past. I very recommend this tour to anyone interested in having a meaningful and well guided experience in the city.
Fantastic. Mr Edwin really knows how to treat tourists inna México everytime me and my wife felt so secure. Edwin perfectly understand each and every place that we visited, even he take us to museums and places that wasn’t in the schedule so i proudly recommend him.
My experience was too good, the guide was very kind and attentive, I totally recommend this experience. It was very beautiful and unforgettable.
A very good cultural tour in Mexico City: the food, the history, the scenery. My family and I were delighted with the guides' explanations. We will definitely return to Mexico with Triptlan.
I recently took a cultural tour in Mexico City with the Triptlàn agency, and everything seemed very well-structured. My family really enjoyed the guide's company and information. Highly recommended.
Excellent Tour, wonderful experience, impeccable mastery of information on the subject, kindness and professionalism on the part of Edwin the tour guide.
We did the tour of the National Museum of Anthropology with Triptlán as a family: my husband, our four-month-old baby, and my mom, who is an older person. I was worried that such a large museum would be too much for us, but Clara, our guide, made everything very easy. Clara adjusted the pace to our needs, spoke both English and Spanish, took breaks when the baby needed it or when my mom wanted to sit down, and we never felt pressured. Instead of trying to see everything, she focused on the most important rooms and explained them in a clear and very interesting way. We left truly understanding what we saw. If you visit Mexico City with small children or older relatives, I highly recommend this guided tour of the Museum of Anthropology. Family-friendly, quiet, and full of history.
Excellent! It met all expectations and more! An unforgettable experience! Super complete information, punctuality, respect and kindness! We will definitely be back!
Excellent tour. The accompaniment with the guide and explanations were very helpful. At any time we required something, he would attend to us and solve our doubts.
It was a very pleasant tour, very understandable information, very good times and excellent experience!
Excellent experience, very knowledgeable and attentive Edwing. The tour starts on time. It's personalized. I sincerely recommend it
