    Massive loads of facts I loved it
    Thor_L, Apr 2024
    This is a must the tour guide George was above all of our expectations. Also the tour takes like 3 maybe 4 hours have extra time after to look into the other exhibits because only one is included with his narration which to be fair the museum is absolutely massive plan to be there all day if you love that sorta thing

    Prepare to listen
    Mark_P, Mar 2024
    Jorge was an impassioned and knowledgeable guide, providing a detailed history of the castle history and the aztec empire. He did not like being interrupted with questions when he was talking, which was a bit off putting.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    Hello Mr. Powell! I thank you very much for your comments and that you liked the information and the emphasis that characterizes me when narrating and explaining the deep and interesting passages of our History and especially of the Castle of Chapultepec and the Aztec room in the Museum of Anthropology. However, regarding the fact that I was bothered by your interruptions, I give you my word of honor that it never bothered me, on the contrary, because I was happy to answer all of your questions. But the time came that with so much interruption and with time running out for a correct development, remember that I told you to be a little patients because if you followed the development of my narratives you would surely hear the answers. But: if at the end of my narration of some historical passage it was not enough, then you could gladly ask me all the necessary questions. I do not wish to argue because I feel that if I had not made that respectful recommendation, believe me, it would not have given us time to finish the Tour in Time and Quality. I'm really sorry for the misunderstanding on your part. However, as in general the Tour was to your liking: Thank you very much for such beautiful words at the beginning of your Review because they motivate me a lot and are a huge incentive to continue offering my Services in search of Warmth and Excellence. I hope to see you soon again. Greetings!
    Missed out on a great tour and guide
    Virginia_O, Mar 2024
    Although I was disappointed and out 300$ . I will not be leaving a negative review. I recommend George call customers the day before so everyone has clear expectations. We gave Uber the address and due to closures we got left near the museum instead of castle. The worst part was we had no phone service to get a hold of George. He did try to contact us but with no cell service we did not receive any messages. George did what he was supposed to. It is unfortunate that we did not get a tour and paid for it . George better communication days in advance can make sure this does not happen to anyone else.
    Response from Host, Mar 2024
    Good evening, Friend Virginia Oceguera. I am sincerely sorry that you missed the opportunity to do the Tour with me. I understand your suggestion very well and let me tell you that I did do it. I explain: At the very moment that you made the Reservation, immediately that I received your registration on March 3 at 1:32 pm, one hour later (2:36 pm) of that same day I sent you the following message in the Chat the Viator Platform: “Hello Friend Virginia Oceguera! I am Jorge (George) your Guide for the tour to Chapultepec Castle and the Anthropology Museum next Sunday, March 24, 2024 at 2 pm. Don't forget that we will meet at 1:55 pm at the Puerta de Los Leones de Chapultepec (next to the Estela de Luz Tower). Reforma Avenue. I will arrive a little earlier at the Meeting Point to take a selfie so that You can recognize me. Please bring comfortable shoes and a camera or cell phone to take beautiful photographs. Please do not bring water; I will provide you with one bottle each. And be punctual. Greetings and thank you.” How can you see I did comply on time and in form. With all due respect, with my message of thanks, I reconfirmed THE MEETING POINT AND THE MEETING TIME. I think that if you had read the Viator Chat you would not have had this confusion. But You never answered the first welcoming message since March 3rd. In addition, it is prudent to also tell you that when you Booked and Paid, I am sure that you also read the Tour Development, the Price, the Schedules and above all: that you also saw the Meeting Point Map on my Tour page on the Viator Platform. I think it is the most logical thing: read beforehand what you are going to buy. However, I insist that I am very sorry for what happened and I hope that on another visit to CDMX you will contact me in order to meet you and that if you wish to book with me again, I commit to you and your family to reward you with some extra time or with a coffee or something else. I hope I have clarified your point of view which, of course, I did and I only suggest that you check the Viator Chat every time you book any Tours in the Future. Take good care of yourself and your beautiful family and wish you all the best. Regards.
    Just like Nike said Do it

    Jorge was amazing ! He knew so much about so much… he’s insight was amazing. The Museum of Anthropology and Chapultepec Castle are must-visit places in Mexico City and with Jorge along your side that’s all you need. The Museum of Anthropology showcases incredible artifacts and exhibits that provide a deep insight into Mexico's rich history and diverse cultures. The Chapultepec Castle, located in Chapultepec Park, offers breathtaking views of the city and houses a fascinating collection of historical artifacts. Both places are definitely worth exploring with Jorge! 🏰🌎

    Amazing tour!
    Kenia_T, Jan 2024
    I thoroughly enjoyed my tour with Jorge. I am visiting Mexico City for a limited number of days. I wanted to take a tour that would give me the a thorough historical information but not overwhelm me with information that I wouldn’t be able to remember once I got back home and Jorge did just that. I also appreciate that Jorge gave enough time at each stop to explore on my own and properly absorb each site. Highly recommend!

    Incredibly kind and accommodating
    Lindsay_E, Jan 2024
    Unfortunately my boyfriend got sick the day of and we could not attend, but Jorge was incredibly responsive and tried to help us reschedule to a day that worked. We weren’t able to find one since we were leaving in a couple of days, but his kindness and offer to give us a tour the next time we are in a Mexico City was much appreciated!

    Excellent Half Day Tour with Enthusiastic Guide
    Andrew_G, Jan 2024
    George (Jorge) was an excellent guide! He was very knowledgable and his passion for Mexican history made the tour super interesting. He actually even contributed to setting up the museum's exhibits! It was the perfect amount of time for those looking to see Chapultepec Castle and the Anthropology museum in a half day.

    Kylee_L, Dec 2023
    Jorge was AMAZING! He was extremely informative and engaging. We learned so much throughout our tour, and would 100% recommend his services again. No one in our group spoke Spanish, but that was no issue given Jorge’s amazing English. Thank you Jorge!

    Daylon_F, Dec 2023
    Jorge was an excellent story teller that gave us some fun history lessons! He is extremely personable and you can feel his passion for history when he speaks to you. We hope to come back one day and have him lead us on another tour through the ethnography hall of the anthropology museum sometime soon!

    Look no further for a tour guide
    Nina_A, Oct 2023
    I really enjoyed an educational and lively tour with Jorge. Before even arriving, he sent a personal message which eased my worries traveling to a new place. The website clearly states the location, timeline, and what is included in the tour. He also communicated promptly his early arrival to help locate each other quickly. My friend’s only request was for a historical tour during our stay in Mexico, and Jorge exceeded our expectations! For us, we enjoyed the free time on our own for reflection while seeing all the sites. We wanted to avoid a tour guide that stays with us the whole time for such a large space and having to keep up just with them for the sake of seeing everything - Museum of Anthropology is huge! The english speaking tour with Jorge was professional, kind, and informative with all of our questions answered. He has a talent being able to integrate storytelling and his academic training into the tour. Lastly as a female traveler, I felt safe. I wish I had more time to book additional tours!

    Worst guide ever
    sumeet_m, Oct 2023
    The guide was only interested in telling us how knowledgeable he is. The tour was supposed to last 3:30 hours. Met us at 2 pm promptly Walked up the castle - gave us 40 min on our own in the castle ( as he is not allowed to go inside !) Then we walked to the anthropology museum. Showed us limited part of one room in 30 min and said goodbye to us by 4:20 pm for us to explore the museum on our own. Well if we wanted that wouldn’t have taken a guided tour.
    Response from Host, Oct 2023
    Hello Mr. Sumeet, Thank you for leaving your comment. I work hard to make every customer experience enjoyable and I am truly sorry that I was not able to meet your expectations on this occasion. Here I am known for providing an exemplary customer experience, which is why I sincerely apologize that this was not the case with you. Thank you for your review because all comments are important to me. I hope you can see from all the other reviews that your situation is the exception and couldn't be further from my high standards. This only makes me want to take your perspective into account as soon as possible and make sure it doesn't happen again. I will try to continue keeping all my clients happy as I have always done because it is my number one priority and I would not like to suffer another respectable opinion like the one I am receiving from you since day by day and Tour by tour I always try to keep my quality standards high, my explanations accurate, documented and that my Clients also enjoy free time to take photos and to explore places and rooms not visited with me with pleasure and freedom. The Tour says that it is for Clients who are visiting these interesting museums for the first time. The Tour says that it will be a 30-minute walk, which is the total distance from the Meeting Point to the Castle and then from the Castle to the Anthropology Museum. The tour says that it will be 1:30 minutes per museum and that it will be half the time with my explanations and the other half free time in each Museum (I mean: without me because practically all of my clients thank me that after my explanations They can enjoy freedom and feel free even when on a tour). Therefore, and with all my respect, I am sure that perhaps your expectations were high for getting to know them and for me to explain both museums in their entirety, but honestly, 3 hours will never be enough. Receive my cordial greeting and again and as advice: there are Specialized Tours for example only for the Museum of Anthropology of 4, 5, ... and even 8 hours and believe me they will never be enough to get to know the museum in its entirety. And also regarding the Anthropology Museum it is clearly written in the Tour Explanation that only the Azteca Room will be visited. Understand that the Museum of Anthropology has 22 rooms! I wish you the best Mr. Sumeet and I promise you that I will try not to receive any more comments like yours since I will continue to strive to continue receiving excellent comments as I always receive them. Because guiding is my passion and my experiences and university knowledge acquired in ethnology and anthropology will always be a pleasure to share with all my clients just as I did with you. Take good care of yourself and I promise to improve. Thank you. By the way (and with all my respect): The Tour started at 2 pm punctually and ended at 5:35 pm. Thanks again.

    First tour in Mexico City
    Timothy_Y, Sep 2023
    We arrived a little bit late but our tour guide Jorge was very understanding. We enjoyed touring the castle and learning about the different historical eras associated with its history. The anthropology museum was very fun and memorable. We would definitely recommend the tour and the guide.
