★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,348 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $79Our pick

Review of Mexico City’s 5-hour Anthropology Museum and Chapultepec Castle tour, with practical advice on pacing, guides, price, and walking.

“Really glad we took this tour ! Learning more about the history of Mexico and the richness of the Mesoamerican culture was among the best parts of our visit to Mexico. Our guide Ligia has more than 20 years experience and it shows in the depth of her knowledge. We felt relaxed walking through the Bosque de Chapultepec and visiting two excellent museums. It was obvious that doing it on our own would have been a far less satisfying experience. Highly recommend”

4.PRIVATE Tour in Chapultepec Castle and Museum of Anthropology

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 144 reviews · 3 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $113

Explore Chapultepec Castle, its forest, and the Aztec Hall with Jorge, a history-focused private tour guide in Mexico City.

“This tour focuses mostly on Chapultepec Castle and Forest. Jorge is a highly knowledgeable and kind tour guide who encourages questions. Your understanding of the history of Mexico City will be greatly enhanced by visiting the castle. The urban forest is large, so it takes awhile to walk between the Castle and the Museum. This gives you time to see some of the beauty and diversity of the Forest, but it doesn’t leave much time for the Anthropology Museum. This isn’t a complaint; it’s just something to be aware of. By the time we got to the Museum, we only had time to talk about 4 artifacts. I expected a…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 91 reviews · 5 hours (approx.) · from $172

Review of Mexico City’s private Anthropology Museum and Chapultepec Castle tour, with expert guides, flexible pacing, park walks, and practical booking advice.

“Very disappointing experience. The tour guide was supposedly bilingual but struggled with English. He did not know relatively basic Mexican history. Even when he explained a few things in his native Spanish to my Spanish-speaking friend he for example did not know the names of several of the more famous Mexican president’s or anything about the timeline of when Mexico became independent. Not knowing the overall big topics of Mexican history is a big problem during a history-based tour. During the museum visit he simply read aloud from the signs next to exhibits. The guide also stepped away several times and we could hear him trying to arrange dates and…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 31 reviews · 8 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $142

See Mexico City’s castle, anthropology museum, Aztec ruins, murals, and cathedral on a private 8 to 9 hour tour with guide and transport.

“Although CDMX itself was amazing and this tour covered all the essentials you should go see - was not a fan of the tour guide. Poor decisions such as choosing a restaurant for tacos that required being stuck in a car during rush hour traffic was not appreciated, especially when I was hungry. We could have just chosen a street vendor at one of the tour stops but I didn't want to be rude in suggesting that. Did not follow instructions when I chose a bakery as my pickup instead of hotel - which caused additional delays at the beginning. Kept quizzing me about history at almost every stop despite…”
