Phenomenal
Arturo was our guide for the Anthropology Museum and was a 5 star guide. Excellent in English and Spanish, an archeologist by training he was superb a highpoints and unknown details that made what would have been an formidable visit into one of the best tours I have had in my life. Everyone in the group felt that way. Definitely worth the cost.

Amazing tour with Arturo at Nat Anthroplogy museum
Wow what an amazing time with Arturo our guide! He has toured for 9 years and is an archeologist! His knowledge of history and the museum made for a thoroughly enjoyable and memorable visit! He knew exactly what to hit and what to skip I. Order for us to get through in 3 hours! Perfect English and fun! Would highly recommend him and the tour!

Arturo was super fun and interesting. We did think the full 3hrs was too ambitious though for our 9yo and even us - so we asked for 2.5hrs.

Lovely museum and guide
Andres did an incredible job. I was so eager to hear stories and learn more. We had a very restless toddler with us as well and he tolerated it all with grace and humor. We learned so much and it was genuinely one of the highlights of our trip! Thanks again, and I would highly recommend.

Incredible experience
Such an amazing experience! It was a private tour for us, and our guide Oscar was super knowledgeable about the museum, the history and the stories. It’s a huge museum and can be overwhelming for visitors (esp if you don’t speak Spanish). Having a guide makes it much easier and fun. We didn’t get to cover everything in 3 hours, but we learnt a ton! Thank you Oscar.
