We did the 2.5 hours highlight with Alicia. Easy meeting point, tickets included. You could spend days at this museum but if your time is limited, this tour is perfect. We appreciated her professionalism, her knowledge and her enthusiasm.
Alicia was a wonderful guide. Very informative and friendly! Very knowledgeable!
Alicia was a very knowledgable, friendly and engaging guide. We learned a lot from her tour and she really brought this incredible museum to life in just a couple of hours.
The tour was excellent. Alex offered so much valuable information. He connected the dots with pre Hispanic and the Spanish conquest. As Mexican Americans we walked away feeling so proud of our heritage.
Our Guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Mexico’s indigenous people and painted a wonderful picture of what life would have been like. However, for a 2.5 hour tour she should have been able to cover more of the Museum. instead she got caught up in small details and in the end did not cover enough of the museum.
Hector was our guide and he was incredible… He presented all of the different cultures as if it was a movie going back into time. If you are a big history buff, I highly suggest taking this tour and ask for Hector!
Alex was a great guide, very knowledgeable and professional.
Hector was a great guide, very informative and fun. Our kids enjoyed it too.
This was a fantastic tour! The museum was quite large, but our guide Lily made the exhibits digestible and interesting. She was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. I highly recommend this tour in the beginning of your visit because it covered a lot of the other sites in Mexico City.
I learned a ton and it was really fun and interesting our guide Hector was super animated and made the experience great!
Unfortunately, I was so late, I missed the tour. I was 10 minutes behind when I went to the meeting point but there was no one there. They had already entered the museum. I got a text message asking where I was and explaining that I was too late to join the tour. I waited in line to buy another ticket - by then I was 20 minutes late! I hadn’t allowed enough time to walk from the Uber drop off point to the meeting place at the flagpole. My fault.
Real amazing history of Mexico and our ancestors. Great guide and explanation of everything . Amazing
Michael is very passionate about f knowledgeable. Great tour. I would tour with him again.
Antonio was a great guide. He was very informative and also gave us a wonderful overview of such a vast amount of information to make it understandable.
Alicia was an extraordinary guide!
Our guide, Hector Monticello Aragon, was excellent. His depth of knowledge combined with his enthusiasm was simply amazing!
Alicia was a wonderful guide. We would not have been able to maneuver the museum without her! I highly recommend taking this tour.
Alice was an excellent guide. She was knowledgeable and very helpful. The anthology museum is definitely a must for a trip to Mexico City.
Alice is a fantastic guide! The tour provided a thorough and easy to understand history of the artifacts in the museum. Alice gave historical and cultural context to the many pieces. Highly recommend!
Alice was amazing! So much information and care went into our tour. Highly recommend
Knowledgeable and entertaining. Great tour!
Everything was perfect and we got a meal prior to the tour at a less touristy place nearby. I've been on 4 tours of Teo and this was the best.
We had a great time during our tour with Alicia! She was very friendly and knowledgeable and was an overall great guide. The check-in/ticketing process was easy, but note that no food or drink is allowed. Also if you have a large bag you will have to use their free lockers to store it. The museum itself was fascinating and filled with so many artifacts and info. We only got through 2 of the exhibits with Alicia, but that’s only because there is just that much to see! I would highly recommend going on this tour because your guide will be able to describe what you’re looking at and provide context. As a non-Spanish speaker, going through the museum without our guide was more challenging as most of the display info is Spanish only. Also note that the museum is huge so expect to be there for several hours ( we were there for 4 and saw less than 50%) and wear comfortable shoes.
Leonardo was a fantastic tour guide with a deep knowledge of Pre-hispanic Meso American. History. I took the tour in english and our guide had impeccable proficiency. He was very engaged with the group and answered all questions readily. I enjoyed this activity as a solo traveler.
Greattttttt!!! Amazing collection
Great experience with this tour! David was a great guide and walked us through so much history in just a few hours. We wouldn’t have been able to experience such a massive and incredible museum the same without him. Would recommend to anyone interested in the history and culture of Mesoamerica!
Guide was knowledgeable, passionate, and funny.
Alicia was the best tour guide ever!! We learned so much from her about Mexico city.
Alice was AMAZING she taught me so much of my history
During our recent visit to Mexico City, my wife and I had the pleasure of exploring the National Museum of Anthropology with our tour guide, Leonardo. From the moment we met, he shared personal insights and experiences that made us feel more at ease and engaged for what was to come. Leonardo’s extensive knowledge of the museum’s exhibits was impressive; he was articulate, well-educated, and always made time for our questions. We genuinely appreciated his passion for history, which enriched our visit. I highly recommend requesting Leonardo as your tour guide. He is exceptional, and we look forward to returning and asking him to show us more of Mexico City.
Eliseo did a wonderful job navigating us through the Museum of Anthropologie and Castle Chapultepec. We took the tour in Spanish and he made sure the group learned relevant and interesting facts about both places.
Antonio was the best!! Super knowledgable and knew his way around all the best things in the museum. Would absolutely recommend his tour!!
This was a very interesting and informative tour. Very much appreciated getting the highlights for each location and being given so much information. Also - keep in mind you can use your ticket and go back - same day if you want to explore more independently. Alex was our guide and he was great! He kept everything moving while answering questions. He was fun too - making small jokes to keep things interesting. Recommend for those that want to gain a real understanding of Mexico’s history and appreciate its culture.
Great information shared by our tour guide, Alex. I learned soo much! In some instances, it was too much information with very few breaks in talking. I would have loved the opportunity to ask more questions:) Overall, I would do this tour again!
Great tour! Pancho was an excellent guide, clearly knowledgeable about the history of Mexico. He answered all of our questions with patience. It was particularly helpful to take this tour before visiting the pyramids.
Lili was absolutely amazing! The tour was informative, inspiring, and lively! Lili’s passion for her country SHINES through her presentation of the exhibits. This is a MUST if you love museums and want to navigate this treasure with intention. Could not recommend her more! Viva Mexico!
Alicia gave a great tour of the museum. She is an excellent tour guide.
Alicia was an excellent guide!
Alicia was excellent! Very interesting, great knowledge, and fun!
Alicia was informed and fun. History comes alive.
Informative great historical view of the ancient world well presented picture of ancient culture.
Alicia, our guide, did really well! She used humor, knowledge and her passion for history to tell us more about Mexico’s history and the sites that we visited. Can definitely recommend this tour for anyone interested in history and seeing interesting places together with other travellers!
Alicia Cerrillo Rivera was the perfect guide for us, she spoke perfect and clear English, the audio gear was in perfect working condition; we knew exactly how to get through to access inside the Museum and Castle. I say she was the perfect guide because she was very knowledgeable and passionate about the history, she had visual aids to complement the story telling (a tablet with prepared images/pictures/paintings to help explain and support the story). We were the only ones in the group to have booked the Museum and Castle combo so we had Alicia all to ourselves during the walk from the Museum to the castle and during the castle visit. Thank you again Alicia for your kind and pleasant guidance, me and my wife are still talking about everything we learned and discussed with you!!!
Very informative, beautiful told, and captivating experience.
Our tour guide Alicia was very knowledgeable and very good guide overall. The museum itself I would rate among the best I have been to around the world. To do it justice you’ll need more than one visit.
Our tour guide Sal was very knowledgeable and provided great information and background on the sites we were viewing.
The tour was great! I learned so much at the Anthropology Museum and Chapultapec Castle ✨ Sal was an excellent tour guide and answered all the groups questions, super knowledgeable and he made it fun!
Very comprehensive and informative tour without dragging on too long. The tour covered every key element in an intriguing way and would do again.
Had such a good tour with Alicia. She was very informative and I learned so much from her, I can’t imagine not have booking a tour.
