A knowledgeable pre-Hispanic México learning tour by an experienced Edwin
The whole guide experience is absolutely amazing. Our guide Edwin is definitely a profession in this field. He contacted me in the morning with very clear descriptions about meeting point. BTW, if you book for morning trip, please get your waking up coffee and breakfast in your hotel. Cafes around the museum is too far due to the limited time. Edwin prepared our tickets in advance, and guided us a good cafe in the museum. Since it’s a very large museum, Edwin guided us based on chronological history of pre-Hispanic México. In the whole process, he kept double checking if we had any questions, while he could answer any questions (maybe wired) very well. His English is easily to understand. I highly recommended this tour and Edwin, as well as his company if you need other tours in Mexico. They will treat you well :)

Triptlan.com simply outstanding!
We had an outstanding two-day tour of Mexico City with Edwin from Triptlan, and I couldn’t recommend him more highly. He is incredibly professional, knowledgeable, and attentive to every detail. When we had to queue under the hot sun, he even brought umbrellas to keep us comfortable—a thoughtful gesture that really stood out.
His English is excellent, and his knowledge of the city’s history and culture is exceptional. Over two days, he guided us through the National Museum of Anthropology, Chapultepec Castle, the Historic Centre, the Cathedral, Templo Mayor, Xochimilco, Coyoacán, and the Frida Kahlo Museum, making every stop engaging and memorable.
If you’re looking for the perfect guide in Mexico City, don’t look any further. Edwin is simply outstanding!
