Incredible & 100% worth it - This was a great experience that taught us so much about the history of cdmx. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and there wasn’t a question he didn’t know the answer to. A must do when in cdmx!

Book with Rick. You won’t regret it! - I took a risk by going with a smaller company and it absolutely paid off! Rick is EXCEPTIONAL. He is incredibly knowledgeable (he works as a historian) and gives tremendous context and depth to everything he shows. He was able to answer all of my questions (of which I had many) and he was very kind, thoughtful, patient, hospitable and personable. Rick really puts his customers first and designs the experience to provide the most value while minimizing stress. He also takes great photos and has fantastic recommendations for other things to do in the city, I would give him 10 stars if I could. I 1000% recommend you book with Rick! This experience more than any other truly made me feel like I understood Mexican history.

Amazing tour with Ric! - Ric was great!! He had the tour planned to be a small group and avoid the crowds. He made the history of Mexico simple to understand and allowed us to better appreciate all of the historical artifacts. He was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. Would absolutely recommend him again as a tour guide.

Awesome experience with a really good guide - Ricardo had encylopedic knowledge of the place. This is my second time in Chapultepec and we saw so much more and learned a lot more detail. The Anthropology museum is one of the world's best, but a good guide like Ricardo makes it better.
