Great visit to understand history of Mexico - The visit to the park and castle was great. Very knowledgeable and interesting guide helped choose from a massive amount of information and artifacts to see. He presented a comprehensive story line including all major events and explaining dependencies. If I could do it again I would start with Chatapultec followed by the Museum of Anthropology. That way all things you see fall in place. Strongly recommend

A concise view of Mexico’s history,through stunning and thought provoking murals and our guide’s comprehensive explanat. - The tour Jorge gave us was excellent. He was knowledgeable, concise, and easily answered all our questions. This was our fifth trip to Mexico and we thought we already knew a lot about it. This tour, and Jorge’s excellent knowledge, helped us understand Mexico’s complicated past and present a lot better. We wished we had taken this tour on our first visit.

The early morning trip to... - The early morning trip to Teotihuacan was absolutely worthwhile - the bus trip alone justified the cost. Ernesto was a terrific guide; energetic and gave lots of info in rapid fire English and Spanish.

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.
