An absolutely fantastic small group tour with Cinthya

5.00What an amazing museum. There is so much rich history that we would say it is essential to have a guide. We had Cinthya who was incredible. We can’t thank Cinthya enough. Her insights and her knowledge of the history transformed the experience for us.
Cinthya was an incredible guide for the National Museum of Anthropology!

5.00Cinthya was an amazing tour guide! I booked very last minute, 1-2 hours before tour. She met me on time and gave me an incredible overview of many of the rooms and artifacts in the museum, as well as laying them out in a timeline and context that was easy to follow and engaging. She also brought her own materials to supplement the history, and made suggestions for what to see after the tour was over. Cinthya is knowledgeable, professional, funny, and kind - I would recommend her tour to any friends visiting CDMX! If you are unsure of whether a guide is worth it for the National Anthropology museum, I strongly recommend it, especially if you are not fluent in Spanish; the amount of material there is overwhelming and I took away so much more information because of Cynthia's expertise.
Amazing Historical and Cultural Insight!

5.00One word. Daniel! He was our guide. He was amazing. We wanted to go to the Museo Nacional de Antropologíay but tickets were not available. However tickets for a guided tour were available at almost double the price. We booked it and were so happy we did. As non Spanish speakers we would have been lost at the museum. Daniel was our guide and it was such a great tour experience. It could have been shortened a little but the 2.5 hours were special with our guide. I am not exactly what platform got us there but we would definitely use Chi n’ Go again.

Surpassed high expectations

5.00My wife and I took a 2.5 hour tour of the anthropology museum with Daniel. I had high expectations, and they were surpassed. To say the museum is a mammoth collection is an understatement, it would take weeks to visit in its entirety. Daniel brought the ancient relics to life with an exciting and passionate narrative of the history and mythology of the history. Would recommend to all my friends.
Amazing Tour!

5.00Wow what an amazing tour! We had Daniel and he was the best guide I’ve ever had and I travel and get private tours often. His knowledge and passion was infectious! Thanks, Daniel for making our tour so great!
My tour with Cinthya was a trip highlight!

5.00I really enjoyed my tour with Cinthya! I lucked out, being that I went on an off-day, and my tour ended up being private. Cinthya picked up on all my interests, and had answers for all my questions, and made me fully totally prepared for my Teotihuacán visit the next day. The Anthropology museum is full of artwork with complex symbolism, touring with Cinthya allowed me to fully understand what I was viewing, but also motivated me to ask questions of my own!
Excellent tour led by Valerie!
