Excellemt Museum, Must See in CDMX - Enormous museum excellently curated and laid out. Don't know how someone not familiar with anthropology of Mexico could really appreciate itn without a guide. With this 3 hour tour we saw a lot (and there's more to see still!) but felt that it was very worthwhile whithout being overwhelmed.

Great guide - Oscar is very nice and knowledgeable and shared a lot with us. His English is good and easy to understand even for us as Asians. I definitely recommend Oscar for those want to know more about Mexico.

Great guided tour of the Anthropology Museum - We had the private tour with Oscar and we went through the museum for over three hours. He was very informative and gave an in depth description of the history with excellent examples and also brought additional photos to show on his iPad. It was an excellent guided tour of the museum and would highly recommend to anyone questioning if they should go or not.

A great experience! - Arturo was excellent! The anthropology museum is massive and rather overwhelming. I was thankful to have him with us to explain so beautifully the history of the Mexican people. Arturo was enthusiastic and a wealth of knowledge 😊🇲🇽

Anthropology Museum Private Tour- Not to Be Missed! - Out tour guide, Oscar, was one of the best. He was knowledgeable, put together a thematic tour and I walked away feeling like I had learned about new worlds. There is so much to do in Mexico City but you have to put this near or at the top of your list. I rarely write reviews but was compelled to do so because the tour was that good!

Knowledgeable & friendly guide! - Our guide, Arturo, was excellent. We couldn't have asked for a better experience. I highly recommend booking this tour if you've never been to this museum. You get so much more information with a knowledgeable guide comparing trying to do it on your own.

We felt we had the most knowledgeable guide ever. - Hector is an amazing guide, extremely knowledgeable, a very nice person and he extended our tour by two hours. We were so captivated by what he was telling us that we did not notice so much time had passed. Hector had many pictures on his IPad to illustrate what he told us. After Hector had left to start his next tour with other people we spent several more hours in the museum. Usually 2 1/2 hours is my max in a museum.

The only way to visit the Anthropology Museum - Oscar was an excellent guide who skillfully showed us essential aspects of the museum's impressive collection and explained their importance to Mexico's cultural development and history. It might be tempting to visit this museum without a guide, but I can't imagine how you could possibly appreciate the importance of some of the artifacts and how they represent critical developments in Mexico's history. Oscar made Mexico's history accessible and has a vast knowledge of the museum's collection, highlighting essential aspects that make the most of the tour. He happily answered our questions - which were many. Our tour with Oscar was a highlight of our 10-day trip to Mexico City.
