Cinthya was an incredible guide for the National Museum of Anthropology!

Cinthya was an amazing tour guide! I booked very last minute, 1-2 hours before tour. She met me on time and gave me an incredible overview of many of the rooms and artifacts in the museum, as well as laying them out in a timeline and context that was easy to follow and engaging. She also brought her own materials to supplement the history, and made suggestions for what to see after the tour was over. Cinthya is knowledgeable, professional, funny, and kind - I would recommend her tour to any friends visiting CDMX! If you are unsure of whether a guide is worth it for the National Anthropology museum, I strongly recommend it, especially if you are not fluent in Spanish; the amount of material there is overwhelming and I took away so much more information because of Cynthia's expertise.

Amazing Historical and Cultural Insight!

I had Omar as a tour guide. Words cannot express how amazing this experience was from an educational standpoint!.From the time of meeting to the end, this tour was an amazing wealth of knowledge and information about the culture. Omar did an excellent job of providing insight in detail about the various artifacts within the museum. This was truly an amazing experience, especially if you are someone that enjoys understanding the history and culture! This tour was extremely informative and will definitely recommend Omar and the services to anyone who is interested in understanding more about the Museum of Anthropology!! 11 out of 10!

Don’t Hesitate and Book Your Tour

One word. Daniel! He was our guide. He was amazing. We wanted to go to the Museo Nacional de Antropologíay but tickets were not available. However tickets for a guided tour were available at almost double the price. We booked it and were so happy we did. As non Spanish speakers we would have been lost at the museum. Daniel was our guide and it was such a great tour experience. It could have been shortened a little but the 2.5 hours were special with our guide. I am not exactly what platform got us there but we would definitely use Chi n’ Go again.

Surpassed high expectations

My wife and I took a 2.5 hour tour of the anthropology museum with Daniel. I had high expectations, and they were surpassed. To say the museum is a mammoth collection is an understatement, it would take weeks to visit in its entirety. Daniel brought the ancient relics to life with an exciting and passionate narrative of the history and mythology of the history. Would recommend to all my friends.

We'll be more than happy to have back in México for another amazing cultural adventure 😃🙏

My tour with Cinthya was a trip highlight!

I really enjoyed my tour with Cinthya! I lucked out, being that I went on an off-day, and my tour ended up being private. Cinthya picked up on all my interests, and had answers for all my questions, and made me fully totally prepared for my Teotihuacán visit the next day. The Anthropology museum is full of artwork with complex symbolism, touring with Cinthya allowed me to fully understand what I was viewing, but also motivated me to ask questions of my own!
