About This Tour
Enjoy a captivating journey with me, a historian, at one of the most beautiful museums in Mexico, where history, culture, and art converge in harmony. Let's meet at the museum and prepare to be transported through time. Explore the awe-inspiring pre-Columbian art collection created by talented artisans from ancient times, and admire amazing masterpieces.
On this guided tour, we'll admire some of the most incredible monoliths such as the Aztec Solar Stone, an emblem of ancient wisdom, and stand in awe of the colossal Olmec heads, guardians of secrets lost in time. You'll gain insights into the valuable heritage of our ancestors in Mesoamerica that still lingers in Mexican culture, a civilization that once thrived here. Learn in detail and marvel at intricate Mayan jade masks, unique Zapotec gold jewelry, and breathtaking pottery and sculptures.

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!!

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.
