Visiting Chapultepec Castle was a unique experience, and much of this we owe to our guide. His in-depth knowledge of history, entertaining anecdotes and patience in answering all our questions made the tour much more enriching. Not only did we learn about the emperors and castle architecture, but we also understood the historical context of each era. The way he connected historical facts to local stories made everything more interesting and memorable. I definitely recommend this tour with him.
