    Anthropology Museum Tour With An Enthusiastic Historian (3 Hours)

    Sylvia was a wonderful guide at the National Museum of Anthropology. She kept our kids (12 and 10) engaged and explained the exhibits in a fun, easy to understand way while still being informative for adults. Highly recommend!!

    Anthropology Museum Tour With An Enthusiastic Historian (3 Hours)

    We couldn’t recommend Gaido and our guide Silvia enough. We took her guided tour of the Anthropology museum and were blown away—it was definitely the highlight of our trip. I was a little worried because we had two kids (11,15) and museums can be boring, but Silvia engaged them and they had a good time and learned a lot. She didn’t just share dry history, she talked about the history in relationship to modern Mexico and its people. Starting a Mexico City trip with a guided tour of the museum through Gaido and with Silvia is my go-to recommendation now.

    Silvia is a super talented tour guide. She shares a lot of valuable information with guests. It was a pleasure having her as a tour guide. If I have to do it again, I will choose again. Excellent job Silvia.

    My friends and I had a truly terrific tour with Silvia. We cannot rate her highly enough. She was an expert guide--very knowledgeable as well as being a great story teller. Silvia's 3 hour tour of the Anthropology Museum was the perfect amount of time to spend there and it was a highlight of our girls trip to CDMX. Highly recommend!
