Professional guided tour... - Professional guided tour that covered pre-Spanish history and highlighted some of the most valuable museum collections. Anna was an excellent guide and provided detailed explanations throughout the tour. We learned so much that we could not possibly have learned on our own.

Great experience! - We had such a great private tour. The museum would be overwhelming without this. She took us in chronological order which really helped paint a picture of the regions history.

Private tour is the way to go! - We booked a private tour and loved our guide Ana. She was a fountain of knowledge and did a great job of connecting with our group of 6. She curated a history tour that made sense and answered so many of our questions. She also found us a great, restful place for lunch away from the crowds. If you love history, I highly recommend this company.

A must see with a great guide - Oscar was a tremendous guide. He knew details about everything and was able to make the history come alive. We especially appreciated the context he provided for the vast collection. This is a must see spot!

A Must-See Place and a Must-Have Guide - Since almost all of the information is in Spanish and the layout of the museum is complicated, I think anyone who doesn't have a Mexican background should have a tour guide in order to make the most of the experience. Our guide, Monserrat, was wonderful. She gave us a well organized tour with lots of information. She easily answered all our questions, I would have no hesitation in recommending this tour, especially if she is the guide.
