History of Mexico - Excellent guide Daniela, a very prepared and qualified person who honors his profession and in particular dignifies the history of his country Mexico. I certainly illustrate and value your country, which leads us to reiterate our trip in other destinations in Mexico.

History came alive! - Rodrigo was excellent today. I had no energy and he matched my pace perfectly. His knowledge about the castle and the time period was impressive. He made the characters of Mexican history come alive. Thank you!

Great morning plan - It was a great little outing for us. Not a lot of people, crisp morning, great group, great guide. Very knowledgeable guide, nice personality. We learned a nice piece of Mexican history. We didn’t go to the museum with the rest of the group. It was the right amount of time for us. Highly recommend.

Book this tour - Out of the 5 tours I’ve done in Mexico City, this one was hands down my favorite. Jorge was super knowledgeable and I learned so much from him. The castle was unbelievable and having a guide that knows the history so well made this tour unforgettable. I highly recommend this to anyone interested in checking out the castle. Thanks again Jorge for the unforgettable experience.

Great tour and great tour guide - Daniela was our tour guide. She was very efficient and thoughtful. She was knowledgeable on the paintings and the building itself. She also knew how to get around the small passages and navigate the maze of people. She was on point meeting us at the exact time she said she would be there. The tour lasted around three hours. Daniela was very fun and attentive. Thank you Daniela for your service and your attentiveness very thoughtful. 100% would recommend, the tour was in Spanish(in my opinion better in Spanish)
