An amazing trip through time - This was an amazing tour through the history of Mexico and a good chunk of Meso-America from pre-historic nomadic tribes through Independence. Leonardo carefully curated the tour so that we hit highlights of every era as we went through both museums. There’s obviously so much more that can be seen, but this was a great trip through history in a short amount of time. I will warn you, there is a lot of walking, especially getting from the Anthropology museum and getting up the hill to the Castle, so wear your comfy shoes! Leonardo was great at stopping along the way up the hill to let us catch our breath while giving us little tidbits of information.

A must do - Exceptional museum and castle very well preserved. This is a castle that’s hundreds of years old perched about the trees in the middle of Mexico City’s Central Park. $200 pesos to enter. No you don’t need to book in advance you just walk up to the ticket counter and pay and walk in. Wished we had the time to do a guided tour however to learn more about the history. There is a lot to take in here and gives you a real appreciation for the history of the surrounding around you are visiting.

Very Interesting Tour! - Gio was our tour guide and she did a phenomenal job of leading this tour! I learned so much of the history of Mexico and that made seeing all of the artifacts even more impactful. The castle was stunning and I appreciated the backstories as well. This makes for a long morning to afternoon but if you enjoy history then you’ll appreciate it. Be sure to have a good breakfast before you go :) all in all a great tour!

DoNot book through Viatour - Viator canceled my private tour and we were left with a public tour of only the museum. The canceled the castle tour altogether and changed us for the entire private experience. Communication was almost nonexistent. Had to formerly request a partial refund and am told it will take 72 hours If approved. I would recommend booking through a local private tour company and not Viator for further excursions.
