Great tour of 2 iconic sites - Ari was very personable and knowledgeable and was happy to customize the tour to our needs. She focused on the top items to see in each of the many areas in the Anthropology Museum, which minimized our feeling of being overwhelmed.

He is full of knowledge of Mexico’s history and Mexico City. My kids wanted to see some axolotes and he said the zoo nearby had some and entrance was free. Super flexible and gave us time for lunch and the zoo before heading to see the castle. He drove us back to our hotel. It was a perfect way to start our vacation.

Excellent Tour of the Museum of Anthropology and the Castle - We really enjoyed this tour of the Museum of Anthropology with Arturo. He led us to all the most important parts of the museum and gave us a great overview of what is otherwise a very extensive museum. It was a great way to understand the history of Mexico before we went to the pyramids at Teotihuacan the next day. Arturo also guided us through the Castle and again made sure to explain the most important exhibits in a clear and interesting presentation.

We had a fantastic... - We had a fantastic experience with our tour guide Arturo in Mexico City. Even though we didn’t book a private tour, it ended up being just the three of us, which made the experience feel very personal and relaxed. Arturo took us through the Museo Nacional de Antropología and Chapultepec Castle, sharing so many interesting facts and stories along the way. He was incredibly patient, took time to answer all of our questions, and made sure we really understood the history and significance of what we were seeing. He was also very friendly and welcoming, and you could genuinely tell how much he loves Mexico City. His enthusiasm made the tour even more enjoyable. We learned a lot and had a wonderful time! Highly recommend Arturo if you’re looking for a knowledgeable and engaging guide in Mexico City!

Absolutely the BEST way to see these attractions - Andrés was super knowledgeable about pretty much everything on this tour. Had we visited this museum and castle on our own we wouldn’t have got 1/50th of the info we were given. So glad we did it the way we did!
