Excellent private tour. - Ana was wonderful and accommodating. There were certain things I wanted to focus on, and she was more than happy to accommodate us. Being old, we also needed to take a few breaks, which she was also happy to accommodate (some guides want to make it to the end, no matter what). We didn't see everything, but we saw what we wanted to see with Ana. Thanks g for a great tour!

Highly recommend - My daughter who dislikes tours loved this one. Having a private guide was great. Arturo kept the pace going and we saw so much and yet learned a ton. It was a great way to see such a huge museum and still leave feeling like you got to see all the highlights and more. Arturo is very entertaining and knowledgeable. He’s a former lucha libre wrestler and an archeologist

Wonderful way to see the museum - Arturo was a great guide. He made this huge museum manageable and fun. He is very knowledgeable as an archeologist hand has the entertainment background of a lucha lucha libre wrestler. I learned so much.

The Guide Brought the Museum to Life - This was an incredible not to be missed tour and experience. The museum's collection is incredible and vast. So many original artifacts, not reproductions or restorations. Ana, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable. She brought the museum and its various collections as well as the history of Mexico to life and really made the experience for us.

Family visit to the anthropology museum - Arturo was our a tour guide, he was so wonderful with our kids. We went as a family of five, three kids, and he did anEnglish tour. You can tell that as an anthropologist, he really loves to teach and tell stories and our kids enjoyed it and lasted the whole entirety of the trip. They gained a broader appreciation for the history of Mexico. Thank you, Arturo! I would highly recommend him for a family with little ones.

Amazing museum, awesome guide! - This was an amazing tour! We have done guided museum tours in New York, Rome, Florence, and Paris, and Arturo was the best guide we’ve ever had. The museum itself is breathtaking and gigantic, but Arturo broke it down into understandable and relatable information that our entire group enjoyed. His pride and personal connection to the culture shined through so much that even the teenagers in our group perked up to listen. The level of Spanish proficiency in our group ranged from zero to AP Spanish, but Arturo was able to communicate with everyone clearly and with humor. This tour was easily the highlight of our trip to CDMX and I couldn’t recommend it more.
