Arturo was super fun and interesting. We did think the full 3hrs was too ambitious though for our 9yo and even us - so we asked for 2.5hrs.

Fantastic exhibition of the beauty, deep and complicated history of indigenous peoples of Mexico! Learned so much! Highly recommend a guided tour.
Tony_D, Jul 2026
Such an amazing experience! It was a private tour for us, and our guide Oscar was super knowledgeable about the museum, the history and the stories. It’s a huge museum and can be overwhelming for visitors (esp if you don’t speak Spanish). Having a guide makes it much easier and fun. We didn’t get to cover everything in 3 hours, but we learnt a ton! Thank you Oscar.

Arturo was excellent both in terms of knowing the things and telling the stories in such an entertaining way. Definitely would recommend him and the tour

We bought a private tour and Arturo did not disappoint. He was a fantastic tour guide for the Anthropology Museum and was very knowledgeable with every topic and all our questions. He was animated which made the tour entertaining and fun.

Ask questions wear comfy shoes and be ready to learn a lot. Museum is beautiful and artifacts help tell the story.
Our guide “Mar” was very knowledgeable and patient with us.
Tara_F, May 2026
Our tour with Mariel was awesome! She hit all the highlights and kept things interesting. Even our 9 yr old enjoyed it and that’s saying a lot! We would have had 0 idea what we were looking at in the museum if we didn’t do a tour because all the signs are in Spanish.
This tour is the way to go. Skip the groups and take a tour made just for your family.
Douglas_R, May 2026
The tour was very informative and our guide was very knowledgeable. Highly recommend the tour especially if you like history or culture.

One of the best tours I’ve ever had. To the point and informative. Great education. Oscar was amazing. Highly recommended.
Tony_D, Apr 2026
Ana was wonderful and accommodating. There were certain things I wanted to focus on, and she was more than happy to accommodate us. Being old, we also needed to take a few breaks, which she was also happy to accommodate (some guides want to make it to the end, no matter what).
We didn't see everything, but we saw what we wanted to see with Ana. Thanks g for a great tour!
Kellye_P, Apr 2026
Oscar was amazing, extremely knowledgeable, answered all of our questions and created an excellent experience for us. We highly recommend this experience.
Magna_D, Apr 2026
My daughter who dislikes tours loved this one. Having a private guide was great. Arturo kept the pace going and we saw so much and yet learned a ton. It was a great way to see such a huge museum and still leave feeling like you got to see all the highlights and more. Arturo is very entertaining and knowledgeable. He’s a former lucha libre wrestler and an archeologist
Debbie_P, Apr 2026
This was an incredible not to be missed tour and experience. The museum's collection is incredible and vast. So many original artifacts, not reproductions or restorations. Ana, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable. She brought the museum and its various collections as well as the history of Mexico to life and really made the experience for us.
Daniel_H, Apr 2026
We took a private tour with Anna. She was extremely knowledgeable. The tour was so interesting, Anna adjusted her tour according to our interests and also what we had visited so far. She was so passionate about the history of Mexico snd made a huge difference in rhe quality of the visit.
Sara_B, Apr 2026
Arturo was a fantastic tour guide! He told so many great stories about ancient Mexico and we loved his enthuaisam! He was extremely knowledgeable.

This was an amazing tour! We have done guided museum tours in New York, Rome, Florence, and Paris, and Arturo was the best guide we’ve ever had. The museum itself is breathtaking and gigantic, but Arturo broke it down into understandable and relatable information that our entire group enjoyed. His pride and personal connection to the culture shined through so much that even the teenagers in our group perked up to listen. The level of Spanish proficiency in our group ranged from zero to AP Spanish, but Arturo was able to communicate with everyone clearly and with humor. This tour was easily the highlight of our trip to CDMX and I couldn’t recommend it more.
Alyssa_C, Apr 2026
Wow! What a great private tour of the museum. I learned a lot of Mexican history and saw some of the best ancient pieces. Our tour guide was excellent!
Fabiola_A, Mar 2026

Adrianne_M, Mar 2026
Museum is fantastic…very well done…a great way to learn history of Mexico

This guide was excellent
Richard_C, Mar 2026
A guided tour of this amazing museum is a must in CDMX.Oscar was a great guide - knowledgeable, down to earth and aware when to give us time to just explore and experience on our own.
wendy_s, Mar 2026
Excellent tour guide. Very well educated and knowledgeable. The museum is fantastic and almost overwhelming. Really helps to have a good tour guide. Mexico a pie an excellent tour company.
chris, Mar 2026
Oscar, our guide through the museum, was a fountain of information. He brought the artifacts to life for us in a way we would not have been able to do on our own. He was both knowledgeable and personable and we highly enjoyed our time with him. Thank you Oscar!
Rudy_R, Feb 2026
Excellent tour given by Ari. Very knowledgeable. The tour was given like I was an old friend from out of town visiting. Highly recommend.
Iain_K, Feb 2026
I’ve never had a guide more knowledgable than Oscar. Every room and every piece, he had detailed information on. He essentially let us “pick our own adventure” and walked us through.
Deborah_V, Feb 2026
Fantastic tour, I would certainly advise anyone to take this tour. You get an amazing history lesson, that is truly exciting and impressive. This is a fantastic museum, world class by far, and totally an amazing experiencia. I would book this again, and this is a " must see" I particulary loved our guide, Arturo - he was fantastic and full of fun stories that brought real life to ancient and near modern history. Arturo took care of us from beginning to the end! So many important pieces of history with real life history. Fantastic and do not miss this! Thank you Arturo!
Dave_F, Feb 2026
The two of us thoroughly enjoed our tour of this museum with our guide, Oscar. You could NEVER do this museum justice on your own. Oscar is so educated and we learned so much sbout Mexico’s history and its people. Amazing experience. Highly recommend.
Elsie_E, Feb 2026
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.
Anne_S, Feb 2026
Arturo was great. Very well-informed, humorous, and friendly. Highly recommend. Beautiful and inviting museum.
Rafael_S, Feb 2026
We had the most amazing experience at the Anthropolgy Museum with Arturo as our guide. He is extremely knowledgable, a very good storyteller, and walked us through so much history in a comprehensive manner. I would highly recommend Arturo and this tour company to anybody visiting Mexico City.
