Alicia was absolutely fantastic it felt like she took us through a walk in history. Her passion for the tour and the history she was sharing was clear and it really made me have a better understanding of Mexican history. She was able to answer all my plenty questions. I had a really good day thanks to her and her expertise. She is also great at taking pictures!! I would 100% book it again. A truly memorable day.

Lili our guide is excellent and knowledgable. Besides she is very helpful to resolve our problem during the visit. Time is a bit short for the museum but the ticket is one-day ticket that we can walk back the museum after the tour of castle.

We did a private tour. Jacqueline, our guide, was passionate and interactive. She didn’t rush the tour at all. Highly recommend this tour since you get to see Pre Colombian and post Colombian history. There’s a brief stop at a lovely cafe in the park where you can get juice, coffee and snacks.
