Informative and engaging tour! - Great tour! Full of interesting information and perspective. Our guide, Hector, was friendly, fluent in English and well organized to share the full story of the castle in an engaging manner. Hector gave us much more information about the castle and its history than we thought possible in 2 hours. We would have missed a lot of significant detail about the castle history, its symbols and its place in Mexico without this excellent guide.

Mexico City’s best tour guide, trust me! - We really enjoyed our tour with Hector. It’s great when you have a great tour guide but it’s even better when you have a tour guide that truly loves to teach and talk about history. He is a true historian! I really recommend a tour with Hector, he was perfect!

Nourishing and fulfilling - We had a great time and our host Edith taught us so much. It was so much more fulfilling than it would have been without her teaching us about the castle and the history of Mexico

Amazing Museum - Amazing historical museum reminding once again how much internal and external strife the Mexican people have had to endure. Our guide Edith was completely knowledgeable and happy to share with us. Totally worthwhile visit.

AMAZING - Really no tips except making sure to schedule in advance if possible. There is so much to see if you are scheduling a tour I would recommend you request Isaias to be your guide. He takes his time and really explained the significance and importance of the things we were seeing. He is an amazing tour guide.

It’s free - The museum is free, you don’t need a paid guide. The museum is free, you don’t need to spend money on an advertised guide on trip advisor. It’s actually a bad deal, since the guides only get a fraction of the guide fee. Capitalism.
