    Invalid ticket

    Aimee_H, Sep 2026
    The ticket did not work. When I went to redeem the ticket the staff at the museum said it was not valid as no QR code. Contacted viator but no response. Don't bother as there are limited lines at the museum, but directly on arrival.

    Ask for the PDF of tickets with QR codes!

    Tammana_B, Sep 2026
    Make sure you ask for the PDF of the tickets! The lines are long and there isn’t a separate booth to show your skip the line redemption email. Once you have the PDF with the QR codes for the tickets, you can show it to the security checking tickets just past the ticket booths. I was able to get this through the chat feature in the Contact area of the app.

    Do Not Buy

    Jalynn_A, Aug 2026
    Do not buy these tickets! No ticket is needed for entry and the “skip the line” is to skip the ticket line not the entry. There is not even a line inside because tickets aren’t required. Owner messaged me very rudely and did not refund me.

    Refund Me

    Gregory_D, Aug 2026
    Please refund. The venue refused the tics that I purchased on Viator. Called Viator a reseller. Thanks

    I need a refund

    Ixchell_G, Aug 2026
    I am in need of a refund the tickets I bought were already used and the museum would not let me in..

    Good tour

    Jonathan_P, Aug 2026
    Tickets were sent to me through the Viator app. Easy process. Great experience. I recommend it. Will do again.

    The QR codes you sent were invalid and had to buy other tickets Stood in line twice and wasted so much time

    Tickets Never Delivered!!

    Susan_M, Jul 2026
    Prior to our museum visit, we received multiple emails that included a voucher with confirmation # for skip-the-line entry to the Museum of Archeology. The emails told us to present that voucher pdf to the information desk to receive our tickets. Upon arriving to the museum, we were told they could not grant us entry with that voucher. They said we must have a digital pdf of actual tickets. I tried calling the Viator hotline three times, and no one answered. Therefore, I had to get on the ticket line and buy tickets on my own. Viator gave me a refund, but the experience was very inconvenient. I had to stand on a long line and purchase tickets in that moment. Do not sign up for this service. You will be stuck in the same situation!

    Won’t use again.

    MARLA_Q, Jun 2026
    My tickets did not get delivered before I went to the museum. I had to purchase new. I made a refund report. They were not helpful in the chat or on the phone.

    Terrible service and zero response

    Carolyn_B, May 2026
    We purchased 4 skip the line tickets for the Anthropology Museum in Mexico City. Only 2 of the four tickets arrived. I sent two emails for help and a refund and I did not receive any response at all. We had to purchase two extra tickets that day at the museum and stand in a line - everything we were trying to avoid. They have NOT responded nor have they refunded the amount owing for the two tickets that never arrived. Terrible service.

    Do not get the ticket...

    Rebecca_A, May 2026
    Do not get the ticket through this service they won’t let you in with the voucher. We had to purchase tickets again at the ticket counter.

    Sean_R, May 2026
    I was not able to use my ticket The ticket was already used that was sent to me by email. I had to re purchase a ticket at the museum. I will never use this activity provider again.

    Stunning architecture and displays but mostly in Spanish only. A must-see to appreciate Mexico's fascinating history.

    Jody_B, Apr 2026
    The Museum is spectacular and the displays are unique and interesting. The Mayan and Aztec periods are in later sections, which may be of more interest to many visitors. Most exhibits have information only in Spanish. The Museum Wifi with QR codes for English versions was unreliable. So was Google Translate. While I appreciate the philosophy behind having Spanish-only signage, and as someone who speaks Spanish well, I still felt I missed a lot by not having access to more information in English. I should have done more homework in English, ahead of time. I didn't see any audio tours available, but apparently there are some rentable at the museum entrance, if they don't run out. There are also digital and app-based guides.

    Waste of time. Don’t do it.

    Michael_B, Apr 2026
    Total scam! There’s no redemption point and we had to wait in line. Once inside no one knew anything about our voucher and we just had to repurchase new tickets. Lots a ton of time and Cost us double.

    Impossible site to navigate for tickets

    ANTHONY_S, Apr 2026
    Website difficult to navigate, impossible to download our tickets for the museum and had to buy duplicate admission tickets. Tried the help line phone number…..no answer. Best to book elsewhere.

    The museum is amazing. ...

    Peggy_V, Apr 2026
    The museum is amazing. But unless you get there early, you wait in line. Buying a ticket on Viator ahead of time really doesn’t save you much time.

    It’s NOT Your Ticket.

    Chris_L, Apr 2026
    Even if you buy a ticket online and your email tells you “here is your ticket” it’s lying. It’s not your ticket! Don’t download into your Apple Wallet! It’s NOT your ticket. You’re forced to download their app & get your ticket there. Total waste of time and misleading when you’re trying to gain entrance.

    Untrustworthy Business

    Richard_C, Apr 2026
    Paid to skip the line at the Anthropological Museum in Mexico City. The tickets weren’t accepted, I had to buy tickets on site after already purchasing them from this company, and stand in line to enter. When my son called to try and rectify the situation, the person representing this company was unwilling to refund and hung up, leaving me paying for tickets twice. I will never ever use this company again and let all friends and family not to trust this company that takes money for nothing in return.

    Truth in advertising!!

    Bruce_G, Apr 2026
    It was exactly as advertised. Viator sends you tickets byQR code which allows you to skip the rather long entrance line and go immediately to the people at the front scanning tickets. Super easy.

    Terrible

    Kristine_M, Apr 2026
    Terrible . Tickets never showed up when I called Viator. They called the tour operator. The tour operator never responded via tour did nothing except tell me they needed to talk to the tour operator we were left with no tickets.. I spent $50 on a cab to get there and we left disappointed.. via a tour still hasn’t called me back or refunded my money.

    Good support for the...

    Travis_K, Apr 2026
    Good support for the Viator tickets at the entrance. Would recommend, but get to know the Viator app ahead of time.

    Skipping the line was...

    Aymara_d, Apr 2026
    Skipping the line was worth it! There was a long line for bags as well as tickets. It went really smoothly to be able to skip ahead.

    Fabulous museum, tickets a mission

    Felicity_W, Mar 2026
    Getting tickets with Viator is not simple and it was only the endless kindness of the museum that enabled us to access them. the museum is fabulous

    Skip the Line, No

    Michael_A, Mar 2026
    People should know that Skip the line Tickets don't mean you can skip the entrance line. The line to get into the Skip the Line can be a 20-30 minute wait.

    Viator do not book

    S_G, Mar 2026
    DO NOT BOOK WITH Viator. felt very disappointed as Viator did not tell me where to pick up my ticket. On arrival none of the staff I spoke to could help me. I requested a refund but they refused. They did not give me a reason, just sent me the cancellation policy. Not helpful. My ticket was obviously not used, they can see that. I could give no stars. I would. This is the second time I've had problems with Viator. I'll never use them again. Get Your Guide is much better.

    Fraud

    Andy_C, Feb 2026
    Do not purchase. This ticket does not let you skip the line. Security does not honor this ticket. Once you are inside the front doors the ticket booth line is very short so there is not need for this purchase

    Diversity wins

    david_l, Feb 2026
    An absolute must see, as it celebrates the remarkable diversity of Mexico, and the strength this has given the country.

    Loved this museum, worth your limited time

    Lise_C, Feb 2026
    Beautiful museum, even just the building is worth the visit. This allows you to skip the huge line to buy tickets, though you still have to go through security (it moves fast though). You can spend a full day here, and what’s nice is that there are plenty of places to sit down and relax.

    Museum wonderful tickets skip convenient queue otherwise automatic machines near the entrance

    SUSAN_M, Apr 2026
    Museum not to be missed, wonderful journey through different periods and civilizations.Early arrival around 9 am to avoid groups with guide,not required anyway.
