Traveler reviews
Museo/Castillo
Overall I excellent tour. Over view of the museum and castle. Ivan very knowledgeable. Maybe a few too many details didn’t need. Would never remember the various names.
If you want a history lesson this is for you
Our guide Ivan was very knowledgeable and he was great. Do know you don’t see the whole museums and you spend a lot of time standing in one place listening to all the facts. If you’re into history and don’t care for this book it. Unfortunately for me I’m to anxious to be at one place for more than 20 mins. Ivan was great though!!
Do not book Rahul horrible
Do not book! This tour is highly dependent on your tour guide and Rahul was horrible. He didn’t provide a VIP experience at all. He could not answer basic questions. He merely read from the museum signage. He also cut the tour short and did not show us or glanced over some of the most important archeological artifacts.
Warmest recommendation
The Anthropological Museum was a wonderful experience for me as a structure and as a place for these many impressive craftsmanship works. Rodolfo, our guide, has managed to create a railing through three exhibition rooms and thus familiarize us with the history of the inhabitants of the Gulf Coast. It was a gift for me, otherwise I would have been completely overwhelmed! Everything happened in a relaxed, empathetic atmosphere and we were always involved by interesting questions. Thank you and warmest recommendation!
Wow, Rodolfo was an...
Wow, Rodolfo was an amazing tour guide and made this an incredible experience. He was knowledgeable about pre classic, classic, and post classic history. We learned a lot during the tour. The museum was the highlight for sure, the Chapultepec castle is a one time visit but after learning so much about the Olmecs and Mexicas, seeing Versailles influenced design in the castle just didn’t compare. If you’re ok with a long day, do both!
