Pakal really knows about mesoamerican culture. - This is my third visit to the great Museo de Antropologia eith David, better lnown as Pakal. I can’t express what a delight it is to hear about my own culture from such a kwoledgeable young man. I finally understood timelines and starting to understand the differences between the mesoamerican cultures. I am sooo gratefull.

Wonderful Experience at the Museum + Teotihuacan - We had such a great time with Pakalito and learned so much! We took both this tour and the tour to Teotihuacan with him and I highly recommend doing both - the tours complemented each other so well and we learned so much! Truly the highlight of our trip to Mexico City and not to be missed. Communication was excellent at every step of the way, plus we really enjoyed the VR experience and the 360 degree photos. It was a pleasure to spend the two days with Pakalito!

Pakalito es great! - Pakalito is an excellent guide. His love of history and pre hispanic civilizations is contagious. My family and kids enjoyed it a lot. Looking forward on another tour with the young archaeologist.

One of the best tours in CDMX - This is absolutely a must-do when in CDMX. We’ve been to the Anthropology Museum before, but never with a degreed archeologist. David was incredible and a wealth of knowledge of all things Mexican culture and history. Next time we are back, will definitely book him for other archeologic adventures.

Fun and Interactive Experience - I had the best time exploring the National Anthropology Museum with David!! He was fun, knowledgeable, interactive, and extremely passionate about history and archeology. He brought his iPad with even more information and pictures, so we were able to deep-dive and learn more about some of the artifacts/history. Other museum guests who were not on my tour but overheard him speak loved him as well! If you love history and want to make the most of your time at the museum, you should certainly book with David.

Great Tour - This tour surpassed our expectation. David, the young archeologist, is highly educated and has taken part in archeological excavations. He is enthusiastic and an excellent story teller who makes history come alive. His English is perfect. He even taught us how to read the Mayan numbers, after which we were asked us to decipher three symbols, so it was an active learning experience. We learned a lot and had a great time. We highly recommend this tour.

Wonderful Tour of Museo Anthropologico - We had a wonderful experience with David aka Pakalito! He was so knowledgeable and very passionate about the Aztec and Mayan cultures and very thorough in his explanation of artifacts and history. He had an iPad with additional photos from his archaeology digs, maps, history, to supplement what we saw in the museum. And he answered all of our questions that came up along the way. He also helped take photos of our group. Would highly recommend!
