Highlights
You can't understand Mexico without this museum. And you can't understand the museum without a guide. 23 rooms. Miles of artifacts. Most visitors leave overwhelmed. This tour is different. In 2.5 hours, dive into the 3 civilizations that built Mexico: Mexica, Teotihuacan and Maya. Explore all elements that define their culture, from music, gambling, art, medicine, food and even to their cosmovision of human sacrifice. Stand before the Aztec Sun Stone - it's NOT a calendar. See Moctezuma's headdress and hear the betrayal that ended an empire. Uncover why Teotihuacan, a city bigger than Rome, vanished. Decode King Pakal's tomb and the Maya obsession with time. We don´t read plaques, connect the dots with real interesting facts. Includes: Native English expert storyteller, private activity only. Do this on Day 1 - everything else in Mexico City will finally make sense.

About Mexico City
Mexico City is a vast, high-altitude capital built over the Aztec city of Tenochtitlan, rich in museums, murals, markets and outstanding food.
The Zócalo, one of the largest squares in the world, is framed by the Metropolitan Cathedral and the National Palace, where Diego Rivera's murals tell the story of Mexico. Beside them, the excavated Templo Mayor reveals the heart of the Aztec capital, and the Palacio de Bellas Artes, with its marble exterior and Art Deco interior, stands a short walk west.
Top-ranked sights in Mexico City: Teotihuacán, Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Frida Kahlo Museum (Museo Frida Kahlo).
