Incredible museum & Castle tour with Letitia - Letitia was a fantastic tour guide! Her extensive knowledge made the tour of the Museo Nacional Anthropologia a delight. We learned so much about all of the cultures that have influenced modern Mexico. Her lively descriptions made history come alive at Chapultepec Castle- there is no way we would have gotten nearly as much out of our visit without her insights. Highly recommend!!

Anthropology and castle tour - Our tour guide, Hector, was excellent. His subject knowledge was great, and he did a wonderful job explaining everything. This was particularly helpful in the anthropology Museum as there’s a lot of content to absorb.

amazing history - Our guide, Geovanna, did an excellent job taking us through the museum and the palace. The tour is quite long, make sure to bring water and wear comfortable shoes. We did this tour the day after the Teotihuacan pyramid tour and felt it was a great way to see up close the artifacts and reinforce what we saw the day before.
The palace was a really beautiful place with views of the city. I would recommend the tour for all ages, as long as walking a lot is not a problem

I believe the guide... - I believe the guide covered more information than was necessary. Also, she was a little bit difficult to understand, made worse by the fact that the listening devices did not amplify that well.
