There’s a lot of walking but the history and information that was shared made it all worth while. Maite did a wonderful job at explaining the history of the murals and the castle. I learned so much about the culture and history of Mexico.
Amazing experience and highly recommend! My dad is from northern Mexico, and I visit family there regularly. But there history basically starts with the Mexican revolution and centers around Pancho Villa. Going into this tour was my first ever exposure to pre Hispanic times, the French intervention, and periods of reform. As someone who loves learning about history, I enjoyed every aspect of the tour with a very knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend.
Visiting Chapultepec Castle was a great experience! Carlos was a knowledgeable and friendly guide who made the history and stories of the castle very interesting. The views and architecture were beautiful, and the tour was well organized. Highly recommend this visit!
Thank you very much, Vijay! I'm happy to hear you had a great time with us.
The private tour with Isaac was excellent. Chapultepec was truly impressive, and Isaac’s knowledge of the history made the experience even better. I learned a great deal about Mexican history throughout the tour. Highly recommended.
Everyone should do a tour of Chapultepec Castle when visiting Mexico City. The views are spectacular and the historic art and interior are very interesting. Cinthya was an excellent guide. She is a historian and also a wonderful storyteller. She brought everything to life and I learned a lot. I highly recommend Cinthya and chill and go tours when you’re in CDMX!
Hello, thaks you for your comments, I enkoyed the time that we share. My best regards for you and your family.
Really enjoyed the Chapultepec Castle tour. The castle itself is beautiful, and the views over Mexico City alone make it worth it. What made the visit better was having the tour guide for context, because it’s much more interesting when you understand the history instead of just walking through and looking at rooms. The guide kept it engaging and didn’t make it feel overly long or dry. Daniel was very knowledgeable! A couple things to know going in: there’s an uphill walk and some stairs, so wear comfortable shoes and bring water. It can also get crowded. Overall, it was one of the best things we did in CDMX and I’d definitely recommend it.
Hi Israel, thanks for your kind review about my performance at the Chapultepec Castle. Your feedback is ok important for other visitors. It is great to know that you really enjoyed your experience with me and Chill N'Go Tours 😃🙏
Lax was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic- such great insights!! Very much enjoyed learning about Mexico!
Our guide Daniel was very knowledgeable and learned so much about Mexican history. How Daniel told us stories were very interesting, we ending up requesting Daniel for our other tours.
Hi Scott, It was my pleasure to be your guide twice in two amazing cultural adventures in México City. Thanks for sharing this kind review about your experience with me and Chill N'Go Tours 😃
Maite was a great tour guide. She was very knowledgeable of the history and purpose behind many of the murals. However, I felt a bit rushed through the castle itself and had to return on my own to take it all in, which was not a problem since I enjoy reading all of the descriptions.
I did the tour with Cinthya, enjoyed every second of the tour of Chapultepec, the Castle and then the National Museum of Anthropology. Cinthya amply demonstrated her knowledge of Chapultepec history, Toltec culture, Aztec in its various historical periods. Warm, entertaining, and with an excellent ability to hook you with each story. They earned a client. 🖤
Hola, gracias por tus comentarios, fue un gusto haber sido tu embajadora. Cinthya
