The experience of the tours with Alex Moreno was excellent, he explained in great detail the exhibitions of each of the floors of the museum.
This museum is excellent on the inside and outside!! Our guide, Neene, was extremely knowledgeable and friendly! We learned so much today!!
A must do while in Mexico City ! Our guide Neene was incredible knowledgeable, professional and friendly. She enabled us to make the most out of our visit to the museum.
Mini was an excellent guide in the museum. She picked out certain artworks on each level of the museum that carried her theme of tracing how artists responded to their worlds. She was deeply knowledgeable and a lot of fun! She was a wonderful guide
Nenee was a great tour guide very knowledgeable and nice. Highly recommended to anyone considering visiting the museum.
This is an impressive collection of art, and I’m glad we went, but not sure we got a lot more out of a guided tour than we would have on our own.
Neene, our guide, was amazing and well informed. She brought to life what otherwise would have looked like pieces of stones. The background of every piece of art and sculpture had an interesting story to tell. It is well worth getting your own guide to walk you through the museum.
Great tour, you always get so much more out of a museum such as this with a knowledgeable guide to provide information and context. Thank you, Neene, for an amazing visit!
Our guide, Neene, was great and I highly recommend her! She was very warm, friendly, and knowledgeable about the collection. The Soumaya collection is quite extensive, and Neene really brought to life the more important pieces in the collection. A great experience!
Our guide Nene was wonderful. Full of knowledge and beyond pleasant and fun. She made our experience.
