This was a great overview with a lot of interesting information. Most signs aren’t in English so a tour is totally necessary if that is all you speak.

The museum itself is incredibly impressive and comprehensive. The amount of artifacts and the history about them and Mexico are amazing.
More importantly, our guide, Ana, was incredible. She made the entire tour for my friend and I. Incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the museum and its history, she created a walking and talking step back into time. Ana’s tour design was thorough and comprehensive. Her knowledge was super impressive - cultural, architectural, linguistic…. The list could go on. She is very generous with her time and was able to answer all our questions. Her passion and commitment to the history of Mexico and her work is palpable. And the bonus - she was nice and funny. We would happily book another tour with Ana when we return. I highly recommend the museum and Ana! You will not be disappointed.

Booked the tour the late night before and got confirmed in the early morning. Very impressive.
My tour guide Ana is very knowledgeable and I can feel her passion in Mexican history during my 3-hour journey.
The tour was private thus could be customized. Knowing I had almost zero knowledge on Mexican history, Ana quickly altered her plan to focus the tour on the pre Spain era
The museum is built by different regions in Mexico. But in order to give me more idea of the big picture of 3 different eras, Ana designed her own way of story telling, which i believe makes much more sense.
Ana's speech was very funny and reminds me of my school time on history classes (in a good way for sure). She even brought an iPad with her to show me additional pictures to support her speech.
Not all the information in the museum has English translation, So I believe a tour guide like Ana is definitely a must if you want to learn more on the history
Wonderful experience indeed!
