Excellent experience! I was very impressed by the organization, punctuality, and customer service I received at all times. The instructions were very clear, and they sent multiple text messages before the tour with helpful details and clarifications. Our tour guide (Leonardo) was very knowledgeable, passionate about his job, and spoke excellent English. The tour is long (arund 3 hours), but the itinerary is divided into sections that allow plenty of time to rest and bathroom breaks. Highly recommended.

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.

    Cynthia was an excellent guide for us in the Anthropology Museum. She is very knowledgable and was able to explain complicated topics with ease. I recommend this tour and we will go back since there is so much more to see and enjoy.
