Ricardo does a great job...
Ricardo does a great job at being your guide. Our tour started on time. Lucky for us, the day we went we had a very small group. It was easy to ask questions and we were able to get through the areas pretty easy. We went on a Sunday, unknowingly, all museums are free to Mexican citizens, which means they can be a little crowded. We were still able to maneuver through the castle and museum with any issue. Ricardo was good a giving us the needed information while keeping us moving through each place. Plan to stand/walk the entire time. We covered a large area. The walk through the forest was a really nice way to break up the castle and the museum.

One of the best tours in Mexico City
Richardo was knowledgeable and caring, we learned so much from this 5-hr walking tour. Highly recommend it, and wish Richardo all the best with his ambition.

Excellent and recommended.
Excellent tour with good arrangement of time management and timely, adequate, and enjoyable transmission of historical knowledge for those who do not know the history of Mexico. Very kind, pleasant Rick. I recommend it. And afterwards you have time left to continue exploring on your own, in the area, or walk along the promenade, visiting other museums.

Great way to learn about Mexican History through its Art and Culture
Great to see the castle and anthropology muesum. I would not have been able to undestand the signifigance or progrss of pre and post columbian Mexico without the guides knodlege about art and stories/mesages it conveys. 100% worth it.

Perfect way to start our trip in CDMX!
The tour with Ric was FABULOUS! Ric was so knowledgeable, entertained all of our questions, and gave us the perfect foundation of Mexican history (ancient and modern). They went above and beyond throughout the tour—they didn’t just know the historical facts, but also where to grab a snack, where the bathrooms were, and gave us ample opportunities for breaks throughout the trip. The day flew by and they did a great job getting us excited about the city and Mexican history. It was especially helpful to have them guide us through the Anthropology museum—we got so much more out of it than we would have on our own. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anybody!

Expertly Curated Experience
Ricardo curates a wonderful and informative tour of two major tourist destinations that could be totally overwhelming without such an experienced guide. If you want to do Cahpultapec Castle and the National Museum of Anthropology in one day, do it with Ricardo - he is deeply knowledgeable, friendly, fluent in English, and he has the timing down perfectly.
