Overall rating

Ernesto’s tour of the Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City is an enriching and enjoyable experience. As an anthropologist, he brings a passionate, insightful perspective that deepens your understanding of the Mexican people and their ancestors. What makes Ernesto stand out is his cool, patient demeanor—he didn’t mind my friend and me cracking jokes along the way, making the tour not just informative but genuinely fun. He expertly balances historical depth with a relaxed atmosphere. One highlight is his discussion of the Ollin, a symbol of motion at the center of the culture, which adds a fascinating layer to the experience. I highly recommend Ernesto for anyone looking for a meaningful and entertaining tour!

Leticia was very knowledgeable, kind and friendly. If I return, I will definitely request her as a guide again.

Alan did a great job with explaining all of the history and providing a fantastic tour.

Excellent guided tour, I would recommend this tour company to family and friends

Jorge was an excellent and informative guide. We enjoyed our tour.
