Description
This private, guided tour includes round-trip transportation for you. This experience will provide you with a pleasant atmosphere in the main urban forest park of Mexico City, Chapultepec. Since its beginnings it has been considered a "Sacred Hill" by our pre-Hispanic ancestors. On the tour you can find incredible places to take photos or videos and thus preserve the moments. In addition to this, you can buy souvenirs at the street stalls and you will realize that there is a lot of life within Chapultepec.
Inside the Castle you will be surprised by the beautiful views it has from the viewpoints towards the lake or towards Mexico City and if you pay attention you can even see your hotel from the Castle.
You will walk where the viceroys' carriages used to pass, and you will know where they held their conferences or simply where they slept. And even better you will get to know the majestic gardens built for these ancient leaders of our Mexican history.

A fascinating tour thanks to our amazing and attentive guide
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.
