Fantastic and informative - Our recent tour of Chapultepec Castle and the Anthropology Museum, led by Diana, was an absolutely unforgettable experience! From start to finish, Diana was engaging, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the rich history and culture of Mexico. She seamlessly guided us through the grandeur of Chapultepec Castle, sharing fascinating stories about its royal past, while her deep insights into the exhibits at the Anthropology Museum truly brought Mexico’s ancient civilizations to life. Diana’s ability to weave together history, art, and culture made the tour both informative and inspiring. She answered all of our questions with patience and detail, making sure everyone felt included and enriched. Her warm personality and professional demeanor made the day not only educational but incredibly enjoyable. We can’t recommend Diana enough—she made this tour a highlight of our trip!

A morning at the museums - Our guide was wonderfully enthusiastic. We covered a lot of ground in one day. This is a good way to be introduced to both the Anthropology Museum and Chapultepec Castle. Please keep in mind that both places are expansive, and there is no way you will see everything in just a few hours. Also keep in mind, when going to Chapultepec, you will be walking up a hill and should dress accordingly. This of course has nothing to do with the quality of the tour itself. Our guide was very knowledgeable and was happy to answer our many questions. He checked in throughout the tour to make sure we were comfortable and made sure we had both bathroom and snack breaks. We would recommend that you book this if you are looking for an overview tour of both places.
