Great experience - Andres was a terrific guide, allowing us to see the highlights and learn more than we could have on our own. It’s such a big museum and it was our first time visiting. It was a great overview for the next time we visit.

Nino says the tour is “So Good!” - I set up this tour because I was traveling with my nine year old son and I wanted him to get the most out of our visit to the museum. I’d visited previously and can read and speak a bit of Spanish and have studies some of the history—he has not. Arturo, our guide was not only an anthropologist by training, he catered the entire tour to my son. In addition, and most fantastically, Arturo is part of a revivalist OG futbal organization and knew hands-on, or rather hips-on, everything there was to know about the ancient sport. Ten mins into the tour my son said to me he that he thought it was going to be boring but it was so good!

Very informative! - Arturo was very knowledgeable and funny. He made three hours go fast! I wouldn’t highly recommend this tour if you want to see the history of Mexico’s people.

Anthropology Museum private tour the best! - Our private tour of the Anthropology Museum was fantastic. Our guide Oscar, was excellent and so knowledgeable. The Museum is vast but with his guidance we were able to see things and understand things that we would have missed if we had tried to see if on our own. The history, the ancient peoples, their artifacts and their cultures were brought to life by his stories and descriptions. We liked the fact that he brought along his tablet that he could share pictures of items that showed fine details that were otherwise hard to see in a few of the various pieces. This Museum is a must see for anyone planning a visit to Mexico City. My opinion there is no better way to see it than with someone so prepared and knowledgeable. Thank you Oscar.

A good pace - Booked this for my older parents (60s) and they had a great time, found it informative and were able to go at their own pace.

Don’t miss out - Amazing tour we had with Oscar. Not only was his English perfect and easy to understand, he was extremely knowledgeable and kept us engaged the entire time. I learned more from this tour than all the other documentaries I’ve seen. These guides KNOW their stuff. Highly recommend this tour if you’re interested in learning about the history of Mesoamerica.

A gem of a museum - Our tour was almost 4 hours and we felt like our Guide could have gone several more. She has a wealth of knowledge and we could never have gotten as much out of the museum as we did with her there.

Unsafe! Beware, do not use this vendor. . - Zero. Her directions were to a field with no one around. Very unsafe. I could see on google maps it was no where near the museum or statue. When guide knew I was alone, unsafe, she asked me to drop a pin. This was a perfect set up for being mugged or attacked. She did not contact me to determine if I was safe or not. Blamed situation on me not knowing how to use Uber. Have used Uber in many cities many times. This incident was reported. Do not use this vendor!!
