Wonder tour, Carlos is fantastic! Very knowledgeable about the city, the people, and all the history you learn. All of those artifacts you'd normally walk by quickly are full of history and stories you'll hear. (Just prepared for a day full of walking, culture, and history)
Driver was on time and guide was very knowledgeable and was a great mix of information on what we were seeing and allowing us to ask specific questions with good responses. Very positive experience
Not only is this tour rich with history, but you also get an opportunity to be up close and personal with original artifacts. For us, what made this amazing was our guide, Carlos. Carlos had immense knowledge and genuinely enjoyed sharing it with us over the course of 5 hours. I can't thank him enough for taking the time to answer questions and educate us on everything from early civilizations to politics and wars that shaped Mexico's independence. If you enjoy history, this is a must-do tour with a private guide. It was worth every dollar. We will book another tour on our next trip and try to connect with Carlos again.
Great guide and driver made for a informative tour. Guide gave us options on what to see and answered all questions with ease.
Great guide and driver. Really learned so much. George was our guide and Antonio was our driver. Very easy pick up and drop off.
Roman is the best tour guide! Ramon and his driver picked on time and he is extremely knowledgeable about Mexico history
The private tour was incredible. Our guide was very knowledgeable, and was happy to answer any questions that we had. He evidently loves his job, which made the experience a lot more enjoyable. The transportation was seamless, and the historical information he shared flowed so nicely. He was able to give us context over the different pieces of art and architecture, which was immensely helpful as descriptions in English were not always available. He made sure to show us the masterpieces, but was also happy to show us other pieces if we asked. We didn't have to stand in line to get into either of the museums, which saved us a lot of time. Highly recommend this tour to get the most out of your time when visiting two of the most iconic museums in Mexico City!
This tour was incredible! Bruno made the whole experience so memorable. His storytelling skills are top-notch – he didn’t just give us the history, he brought it all to life! Bruno had so much information to share, and he really made the details about Chapultepec Castle and the Anthropology Museum stick. Exploring Mexico's rich history with him was not only super interesting but also a lot of fun. The castle and museum were amazing on their own, but Bruno's passion and knowledge truly elevated the experience. Highly recommend this tour if you want a deep dive into Mexico’s past with an awesome guide!
Ramon was an excellent tour guide, and Christian was a very good driver. Ramon is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Mexican history. They made sure we were comfortable and accommodated our requests along the way. My husband, our two teenage kids and I had a wonderful day, and we couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide than Ramon.
Our guide Ramon was thorough and knowledgeable. He took the time to make sure our questions were answered and set he right pace for our family. This is a must do tour for Mexico City!
Our guide Ramon was very knowledgeable and explained in great detail about Mexican history. Prompt on time to pick up and drop off, he even gave us time in between to buy knick knacks from the stalls. Would 100% recommend
Our English speaking guide really enhanced our experience at both the castle and museum with his historical insights. It was worth booking this private tour because if we had visited on our own we would have the richness and nuance of the historical experience.
Loved the experience and personal touch. Would recommend to everyone who's interested in history. Very grateful for all the memories.
Veronica shared a wealth of knowledge, and we walked away understanding the history of Mexico City. Pick up and drop off were super easy.
Carlos was fantastic’ Highly recommend! He made the past come alive! We learned so much about the culture of Mexico. Enjoy!
Chapultepec castle and the history of Mexican presidents having the tour private and small was great
Carlos was an excellent guide, very knowledgeable, interesting, and attuned to our need and ability. It was a great day
Ramon was our guide. He was super friendly, had amazing knowledge and provided a great experience for us! We learned so much about the culture and history. It was a truly amazing day!
Vero was amazing. She was very informative and energetic. First time to the city. We will definitely recommend this tour. Thank you!
This tour was a nice way to see a little bit of Mexico City and get pictures at notable landmarks. Arturo was a nice companion to have at the museums and allowed us to roam at our own pace.
We have a 13 and 10 year old and they have the potential to lose interest at museums however Luis was very perceptive. When he noticed my kids were losing interest he would change direction and reel them right in. The Anthropology museum is huge and overwhelming so he took us to the highlights so my kiddos could still capture some history without being overwhelmed. The Chapultepec Castle is fascinating too as it does a great job of going thru Mexico’s history. The beautiful murals kept my kids engaged as Luis explained it to us. Luis could see that I wanted to take a picture and he would stop me and say not here there is a beautiful spot up ahead. The private Van was clean and Covid protocols were very much enforced at all locations. If you want a wonderful experience I highly recommend this tour and Luis.
We canceled another tour we had with another provider because they were giving us excuses about some sites that were closed. We went with Arturo our tour guide and Luis our driver and had a wonderful time even though we found out they just closed the Chapultepec Castle without previous notice. They took us around to other beautiful sites of the city and substituted for another site. We really enjoyed eating street tacos and learned so much about the different cultures at the Anthropology Museum. I can’t say enough good things about this company, Arturo, Luis and the wonderful people of Mexico. Great place to visit, it’s safe clean and full of history. Will definitely return.
This was a very, very interesting tour and I learned so much more than the times I've been to this museum by myself. Our guide knew his history and also knew how to make it "sing" in his own voice and with his own perspective. Jose Luis is a proud person with a proud heritage and yet a relatable and interesting way about him that draws you in and helps you visualize the whole arc of history being described to you by the various salas in this tour. He was also very flexible in changing our itinerary to go to the museum of modern art rather than to the castle, since the castle, while interesting, is not something we felt compelled to see. Great guide, great guy and very enjoyable tour.
We could not be more pleased with our tour and our guide, Alicia. She was so knowledgeable to answer our questions and considerate for our comfort. These two sites are must sees for anyone who visits Mexico City.
We took the private tour of the Museum of Anthropology and Chapultepec Castle with Mexico Tour Freelance early November 2019. Jose Luis was our guide and Cristian our driver. The Museum of Anthropology is an absolute must see if you are interested in the pre-colombian cultures of Mexico. The museum is big but does not overload you with exhibits and information. It focuses mainly on the cultures of Teotihuacan and the Atztecs but also covers Mayas, Toltecs and less well known civilizations. A couple hours gives you a basic tour. The castle of Chapultepec served as a military academy, a royal palace, residence of various presidents and now as a museum. After a short climb up a hill you have great views over the city. The tour gives you the choice to visit the history museum or the rooms of the royal palace (the only one in Latin America). We chose the rooms. Some of them were furnished from the time of the Habsburg emperor and empress, some from the time of President Porfirio Diaz. Definitely a place of history, too. Jose Luis was a great and knowledgeable guide who gave us all the necessary information to make the most out of the day. Highly recomended.
We enjoyed the tour and appreciated the information provided by the guide. He was very friendly, courteous and knowledgable
Jose Luis was our guide. They were punctual, and very friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. After the tour he even asked us about our food preference and made reservations and dropped us there. It was private tour - I would highly recommend.
We were surprised by the knowledge of so much detail on the part of Nadia Sulin, (the guide of Amigo Tours) and the clarity of her exhibition despite being so much data. Undoubtedly, a day that, although tiresome for the extension, very enriching
Maravillosa experiencia de recorrer el museo de antropología de forma privada con un guía tan bueno y tan instruido como Bruno. Aprendimos y disfrutamos mucho!! Un genio Bruno
