The pieces she chose to highlight provide a comprehensive and chronological overview of both Mexican history and the museum itself. Would not hesitate to recommend her tour!

Quick history of Mexico - We had a GREAT tour today with Omar as our guide, at the Anthropology Museum. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history of civilization of Mexico. We learned so much about different peoples of Mexico...things we would probably only learn from books. I would definitely recommend this tour if you want a quick yet in-depth history about Mexico and specifically Mexico City.

Cinthya is very... - Cinthya is very knowledgeable, warm and friendly. She chose the Classico period and the Aztec period. Informative and a great teacher, it was a great introduction to mako up for my my inadequate US public school education. I absolutely would recommend Cinthya’s small group tour

Great Museum but Busy on a Sunday - A small group tour is the way to go at the The Museum of Anthropology is vast and without someone to focus on the more significant exhibits, you could spend a whole day there and see only 10% of the collection. We booked a small group tour and were fortunate in being the only couple with our guide, Cinthya, who as a historian was able to zero in on the most relevant exhibits to provide us with a great overview of the area’s history in the 2.5 hours of the tour. There was plenty we didn’t see, but we concluded the tour with a much better understanding of the museum and its exhibits. We didn’t have time to return, but I’d suggest 2-3 days would be needed to see everything. We arrived 15 minutes before opening time, 0900, on a Sunday and the queue waiting for the security checkpoint to open was already 100 m long. Admission for Mexican nationals and registered residents is free on Sunday, so I suggest arriving early on that day. The place was heaving by the time we left. In summary, we are very glad we chose a small group tour and very grateful the guide assigned to us was Cinthya.

Historical, feminine- centric tour by Cinthya. - I enjoyed the knowledge and perspective of our tour guide Cinthya. Though a bit formal and unwelcoming at meet-up, she made up for it as she expertly guided our small group of five through key exhibits that represented a rich and advanced perspective of Mexico’s historical significance. She came well prepared with additional references to enhance her narrative and other visitors outside of our group were inquiring about her as a guide. She weaved in and out of the crowd purposefully and a few times, I was thankful that her colorful ensemble made following her less difficult. All in all, I would recommend her services as a guide.
