Our tour guide, Lilly, was very informative and knowledgeable and so passionate about the Mexican culture. There was so much to see, but we ran out of energy.... Would love to go back someday and see the rest. The only criticism we have would have been better directions to get from our Uber drop off to the entrance meeting place. Knowing that there is a bridge connecting the parking lot would have been helpful.

Jenniifer offered us a small group tour of this absolute workd class museum. The collection goes beyond words, and Jennifr told us many stories behind the pieces on view. One has to see this museum on a guided tour. It is not enough to view this collection on your own. she was incredible, as was the museum!

Our guide Cinthya from Chilñ'N Go Yours was great, very fun and knowledgeable and had great stories to bring history and relevance alive. It is important to note that there is a security line up BEFORE you meet her, THEN you skip the line with her and view the museum.
