The National Anthropology Museum feels like stepping into a time capsule, unlocking secrets of ancient civilizations at every turn. Every corner holds a piece of history waiting to be unearthed.
Sometimes you can feel lost in time, but through my eyes, you’ll be able to find the right steps to uncover more answers and more questions.
Since childhood, this museum has been my favorite place in the city; it became my home for many years. Nowadays, the excitement of showing such a special space to other people is always immense.
If you're not a big fan of museums, allow me the opportunity to show you how fun they can be... And if you already enjoy museums, let's savor and learn together.
Remember Passion, fun, and professionalism are guaranteed.

Museo Nacional de Antropologia
Through the eyes of "A Young Archaeologist," you will discover Mesoamerica and its cultures and regions. My objective is to show you that pre-Hispanic history in this country goes beyond just the Maya and Aztecs. I will take you to the main exhibition halls to explore the masterpieces of each culture. We will discuss their history, religion, politics, economy, architecture, and traditions. Together, we will understand their possible meanings. By the end, you will have knowledge of the great variety of cultures in the past and their processes over time. Additionally, you will see why this museum is the favorite space of this archaeologist. Passion, fun, and professionalism are guaranteed.

5.00Here’s the updated version: If you’re visiting the National Museum of Anthropology in Mexico City, do yourself a favor and book David (who goes by Pakalito, a nickname inspired by the Mayan ruler Pakal). He completely transformed what could have been a standard walk-through into one of the highlights of our trip. David studied archaeology and has been passionate about it since he was 12, when he first became fascinated with Pakal himself. That lifelong love of the subject shows in every single explanation. His English is excellent, his knowledge runs deep, and he has a real gift for storytelling. He guided my husband and me through the best parts of the museum and brought the Pre-Classic, Classic, and Post-Classic eras to life in a way that was genuinely captivating from start to finish. The tour was three hours long and honestly flew by, we could have easily stayed longer. What sets him apart is that he doesn’t just recite facts. He connects the history to the people, the rulers, the rituals, and the everyday lives behind the artifacts, so you walk away actually understanding what you saw rather than just having looked at it. Even as a couple with different levels of background knowledge, we were both completely hooked the entire time. The museum itself is massive and can feel overwhelming without a guide. With Pakalito, every room had context and meaning. Honestly one of the best tour guides we’ve ever had, anywhere. If you’re coming to Mexico City, book him. You won’t regret it.
Great few hours with David!

5.00WOW! Pakalito (a.k.a. David) is not only an incredible tour guide, but also just a genuinely wonderful human being. From the moment we met him, he made us feel comfortable, welcomed, and completely taken care of. His English is excellent, which was a lifesaver for us since our Spanish skills are basically limited to “gracias” and ordering tacos. :) He was punctual, organized, and handled all of our museum tickets ahead of time, which made everything stress-free. And trust me — this museum is HUGE. Without someone as knowledgeable and passionate as Pakalito guiding us through it, we definitely would have missed so much of the magic and hidden details. Google Translate will only take you so far…you need a guide, OK? Trust me. The tour lasted a solid 3 hours, but it honestly flew by because he made every moment engaging and interesting. Nothing felt rushed, and he was incredibly patient with all of our questions (and we had a lot!). His enthusiasm and wealth of knowledge of Mesoamerica really brought the museum and history to life. We learned so much beyond the Aztecs and Mayans. One practical tip: wear comfortable shoes and a water bottle! There’s quite a bit of walking and standing based on the size of the exhibits. I wore sneakers and packed cute sandals in my bag for dinner afterward, which worked perfectly. But honestly, I recommend you dedicate a half-day to this tour and then just exploring the park. Polanco is also just a 10-15 min ride away for shopping and restaurants galore. Pakalito truly made the entire experience unforgettable. Kind, patient, funny, intelligent and thoughtful — basically everything you could hope for in a guide. We left feeling like we learned so much and also made a new friend. Highly, highly recommend!
So happy Pakalito was there!

5.00We had the absolute best time with Pakalito (David)! He was a wealth of knowledge which made our visit to the Anthropology museum in Mexico City so much more interesting! It is a huge museum with so much information that it can easily be overwhelming- but Pakalitos deep knowledge and passion for the subject really made our day and we left feeling like we had learned so much more than if we would have gone by ourselves! Definitely recommend Pakalito to anyone who wants to spend time with a really nice, smart guy and get the most out of this giant museum!
Passionate archeologist and rich storyteller

5.00David is super knowledgeable and passionate about mesoamerican history and I was so glad to have him guiding us through the museum. There’s so much to see it would be hard to fit it all in a day, let alone understand the history I was seeing. Instead we got a curated walk and he narrated the history as a rich story spanning thousands of years. I’d gladly do more tours with Pakalito.
A fun day of learning!

5.00Excellent, knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide who is passionate about Mexican history and Meso-American archaeology. He can go as in depth as you request or do a broad survey. I highly recommend David Huesca for touring any PreHispanic archaeological site in the Mexico City area or further afield.
Great experience! Friendly and knowledgeable

5.00David (nickname Pakalito) was great! I don't usually write reviews, but Pakalito was special. Friendly and extremely knowledgeable - including an iPad that he brings with to provide supplemental information to help you understand what you are seeing. The museum is huge and covers an enormous range. Pakalito was extremely helpful in taking us through it and helping us understand what we were seeing and how it fit into the sweep of Mexico's history. Also, if you sign up with him, you can be sure that you will get Pakalito, and not just whoever some tour company can assign to you on a particular day. Highly recommended!
Highly recommended - Very knowledgeable and very nice

David Huesca, aka “Pakalito” was the BEST!

5.00Our archeologist, David Huesca was the best! He was welcoming, knowledgeable, professional but friendly, patient with our many questions, fun, and very passionate! The Anthropology Museum is HUGE and David brought it all in and instead of it being overwhelming it was a full, but manageable overview, which was exactly what we wanted! We were a group of four and we all felt it was the best day of our trip in the sense of understanding the history of the people and culture. Thank you to “Pakalito” for an amazing experience!!! 😊 We definitely recommend you request David as your guide, he has found his purpose. Pam & Charlie from Minnesota
