Just enjoyed a sensational tour with the best tour guide, Jorge! His intimate knowledge of the history of Mexico which he shared, combined with the exceptional sites of the Museum of Anthropology and Chapultepec Castle provided us with what was easily one of the best tours we have ever taken! Would highly recommend and a "must do"! We learned so much, it left us hungry for more! Thank you Jorge, just spectacular!

This tour is great we got to see the museum and castle on the same day. Alicia our guide was fantastic, patient and very knowledgeable. I would recommend hiring a guide because both places are huge and would be lost without a guide.

Worst experience of my life, do not book
S_C, October 2026
We were the first ones at the site, i could not find the guide, i called the emergency contact number multiple times and nobody answered, i used the app to contact them and when they did reply they said the tour had started 10 mins ago and i could not join the geoup anymore. I purchased my tickets again their on site and asked if i could join the geoup, again they said no, i asked if i could get the tickets to go in to the castle and they said no, i asked if i could join the group at the castle and again they said no. It was the worse experience ever. I did book another tour with a different company and they sent a WhatsApp with the location and a photo of the tour guide. that was great. This, this is a waste and i feel i got robbed. Do not book with them.
Response from the operator · AmigoTours-QA Dear Santos C, we're sorry that you were unable to join the tour. However, we would like to clarify that our guides were present at the designated meeting point, while you were waiting at a different location. By the time you contacted our team, the tour had already started, and joining the group later was not possible due to the scheduled arrangements of the activity. We regret that this situation affected your experience.
Kind regards,
Quality Department
