Great starting point to appreciate Mexico City
We’ve done our share of guided tours and this was one of the best. Our guide Cinthya was fantastic and gave us a great framework to experience this amazing museum. I would actually recommend that you do this tour before other archaeological visits. Absolutely worth it.

Highly recommend Omar!!
My husband and I really enjoyed our tour of the Anthropology museum with Omar as our English tour guide. The museum itself is very large with most signs in Spanish so it was very helpful to have a guide that could showcase the most important artifacts and parts of Mexican anthropology. Omar was a delight to have as a tour guide, he is knowledgeable, funny, and genuinely enjoys talking about all the different artifacts. Although we were expecting a small group, we were lucky to be the only ones on the tour with him. Highly recommend this tour and Omar!

Great tour of a huge museum
Our guide was Cinthya and she was great. She took us to many of the highlights and explained the carvings and beliefs in the context of how people lived and what shaped their beliefs. The museum is massive. You really cannot see it all in a day, but we saw quite a lot and learned a lot. Cinthya was friendly and knowledgeable and kept the pace slow for me (I have a bad knee). We stayed after the tour and visited some of the other galleries. The restaurant at the museum was also terrific and I highly recommend taking a break there!

Express tour is an excellent intro to the museum.
Excellent "express" tour. This was an excellent first to the Museo Antropologico. Our guide, Maite, was super knowledgable, excellent English, and she shared a ton of information and history in just 2.5 hours. We felt like we got a great visit to the top highlights in the museum.
Operator response
Thanks a lot for the review. I hope to see you in another tour. You were great tourist also! Regards Maite

A guide is essential for that museum
An incredible and very beautiful museum, but one that does need a guide to understand the history of each town and its entire context.
