Jorge fans - We went to the Palace of Fine Arts and, fortunately, we met Jorge de @educandoconcultura . We ask you to join us the next day to get to know Chapultepec Palace and it was the best decision to get to know Mexican history with a great guide 🫶🏼 I highly recommend it, there are stories that are told person to person, and connecting is an immense plus. Thank you very much Jorge, the emblems of Mexico are fortunate that you relate them

Recommend 10/10 - Educando con Cultura made our trip to Mexico City x10 better. We found out about them at La Plaza Bellas Artes and we also booked a tour at El Castillo de Chapultepec and Teotihuacán. I highly recommend their services because they are really knowledgeable in the history and culture that will make a difference in understanding and enjoying the major historic attractions. My husband and I did the tours in Spanish but they also have tours in English. They are really friendly, the best way to reach them is by sending a text message through WhatsApp.

The tour itself was good... - The tour itself was good and the guide was knowledgeable. He was also 45 minutes late for our party of 9, which was very frustrating.
