Traveler Reviews

Andres was a great guide. I loved the castle. There are amazing views from it and between the two places you get a comprehensive history of the country

Our guide was Sergio sharing a lot of interesting information in museum. Lot of them not possible to know or catch during private visit in museum. The castle is nice experience for panoramic view of Mexico and to learn about Revolution. Sergio had a big knowledge and is funny and nice guy.

Could not get in the attraction with my ticket issued by viator. We had to purchase our own ticket at the gate.

Josue was full of knowledge and patient with all of my questions. Especially since I was the only English speaking member of the group, but he made sure to explain everything to me as well. I'd especially recommend this tour if you are English speaking, as there is so much to learn and I would have never understood if I visited by myself.

Beware of the affordable pricing. Sometimes you do get what you pay for. Bi-lingual tour guide was anything but. My son and I felt like we were taking a college course with an exam at the end.
