One of the best tours I’ve ever had. To the point and informative. Great education. Oscar was amazing. Highly recommended.

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!

Oscar was amazing, extremely knowledgeable, answered all of our questions and created an excellent experience for us. We highly recommend this experience.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
Robin_M, Feb 2026
Our guide was incredible!! She was so knowledgeable, interesting, funny, and easy to be with! Highly recommend!
Michael_K, Jan 2026
This was a terrific experience--easily the high point of our visit to CDMX. The building and collection are breathtaking. Our guide [Oscar] was wonderful. His narrative wasn't limited to describing artifacts, but he put them in the context of Mexican history, all the way the present. He was also very accommodating of our physical needs. (We're old.) Absolutely first rate. Couldn't recommend too highly.
Sierra_M, Jan 2026
Andres was our guide and he was great! He was very knowledgeable and answered any questions that we had. The museum was beautiful!
Robert_H, Jan 2026
Oscar is an excellent tour guide, who gave us new insights into the Aztec's/ Mexica which we would not have known just walking around the museum. A your guide is the only way to really understand much of the history of this land.
Damian_H, Jan 2026
The museum is beautiful and the contents are amazing. Our tour guide Ana smartly and expertly guided us through the entire museum in about 4 hours. Ana ensured we saw and understood the significance of the most important and impressive museum pieces. Ana was friendly, energetic, well spoken, very knowledgeable and was always considerate of our needs and questions.
Tracy_N, Jan 2026
Oscar was incredibly informative , attentive to our needs and a fabulous guide. He was very animated and brought history to life in an accessible way! We highly recommend him .

Arturo was a superb expert, able to cover so much information about Mexican history and culture taking us through the whole first floor and much of the second. He’s an expert and should be applauded. We had a wonderful experience.
Angela_W, Jan 2026
Ana was very knowledgeable and moved us through the various rooms broken out by pre-Spanish eras in way that made the historical story even more meaningful. I highly recommend Ana for a private tour!
AlterPeerless, Jan 2026
