Visited the Anthropology museum with my wife in Feb 2026. We were so happy we used Edwin for this tour. His knowledge of the history of Mexico is amazing, and he made the visit so much better than it would have been without him. Understandign the history and being able to hear stories connected to the history made our day. Well worth it! Thank you Edwin

Our private tour of the anthroplogy museum with Karla was the highlight of our trip! Her passion for the history and its presentation is self evident, and it was an engaging and wonderful experience.
Thank you so much for your comments and for taking the time to share your Triptlán experience with the world, specifically with our guide and historian Karla. We hope to see you again soon and share new experiences.
Karla was exceptional! Her knowledge and story telling created a personalized experience that was truly once in a lifetime. If you are so fortunate to have Karla as your guide, then you are in for a supremely educational and engaging trip.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us. We're delighted you had a wonderful time on our tour with our expert guide and historian, Karla. We hope to see you again soon!
Very thorough historian. We appreciated his patience and knowledge. Unfortunately, moderately heavy accent made it difficult to understand for the group. Would not recommend using laser pointer in museum. Although helpful for tour explanation which we appreciated, the laser refracts from glass and back into tour members eyes.
Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We’re glad to hear you appreciated our historian’s patience and knowledge. You are absolutely right about the issues you raised — we apologize for any difficulty caused by Manuel's accent and will remind our guides to speak more slowly and check that everyone can follow along. You are also correct about the laser pointer; thank you for pointing out the refracted light problem. We will stop using laser pointers near glass and adopt safer alternatives to avoid shining light into visitors’ eyes.
Edwin was a very knowledgeable tour guide. He also showed the kids how Mayan math worked. Very prompt communication on the morning of the tour to coordinate logistics.
Thank you so much for your comments, it was an incredible family and very intelligent children, they definitely enriched the experience a lot, come back soon, greetings.
The experience was very seamless and easy, we had to book last minute after our guide through another company cancelled on us. Clara, our guide, was very knowledgeable. I appreciated how she painted a logical story for us and I feel that the 3 hours gave us a good overview of what was important regarding the main Aztec and Mayan exhibits (there is of course a lot more to see in the museum that would take days to do but I think we hit the highlights). Having a good guide enhanced the experience so much more for us, it would have been a much poorer experience had we tried to go without Clara.
Thank you so much for your feedback. We will definitely let Clara know about your comments and how much you enjoyed your time. We hope to see you soon!
We had a great time with Edwin in connection with Triptlan. He was an exceptional guide that made sure everyone in our group got something unique out of the tour. Did a great job of blending educational with interesting as well as a sense of how the museum topics blend into current Mexican culture.
Thank you so much for your comment, it was definitely an amazing group with great vibes, we hope to see you soon, greetings and blessings
