Review of a private Mexico City tour combining the Anthropology Museum, Chapultepec Park, and Castle with an expert English-speaking guide.

“We spent our first day in Mexico City with Isaias, touring the Anthropology Museum and Chapultepec Castle was perfect. He is very knowledgeable, accommodating, enthusiastic and kind, as well as an excellent historian. This created the perfect backdrop for our museum tour and deeper dives when we enquired. Our walk to the castle was so beautiful. And the views of the city were stunning. The castle and its history are very worth the trip. We couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide. Thank you, Isaias!”
