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 guide was amazing, she knew how to keep us attentive and arouse our curiosity throughout the tour of the museum. She transmitted all the information in a very pleasant and interesting way, with her explanations we were able to understand other subsequent visits that we have made around the city and the surrounding area. I recommend this guided tour if it is the first trip to the city or if you want to discover in an entertaining way everything that the museum contains.

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.

    Very positive experience regarding the guide Nadya Serim. Always attentive to the group and explaining in detail the meaning or origin of each piece in the route that was followed, interacting with the group. Unfortunately, it was not possible to use the headphones, so you had to be very attentive to her voice at all times. When there were many people in the room, it was difficult to hear clearly. Note: Hearing impaired people have an additional problem. In my case, with total deafness in my right ear, it would have been impossible for me to wear the headset correctly. All headsets are designed to be worn on that side. I ASK ALL THE PROMOTERS OF THESE GUIDED TOURS TO PROVIDE THEIR PROFESSIONAL GUIDES WITH HEARING AIDS FOR THE LEFT EAR. THEY WOULD DO A GREAT FAVOR TO DEAF PEOPLE WITH RIGHT EARS, as in my case. After a stop, necessary to replenish energy, the guide took us to the castle of Chapultepeq, where, after a walk, visually grateful for the landscape, and therefore, better carried by the group, we accessed it with great interest to see what was there gusrdaba. A very illustrative walk through the different characters that forged the most recent history of Mexico and taken by the hand of the excellent tour guide Nadia, who with her always interesting stories and expanded with names of literary works in this regard, illustrated us and knew how to accompany the images that we had in front of us, different pieces and mobile devices of those times. Very grateful and somewhat tired, (age is weighing a little), the route that was so kindly and respectfully shown to us by our guide was finished. A great guide, no doubt. To recommend to those who are about to come to visit both resorts in this great city.
