xplore different eras of Mexico City, on this guided tour of the most historical places in the Chapultepec Forest: the Chapultepec Castle and the Nationalquartz Anthropological Museum.

Tour Details

Our first stop will be the Chapultepec Castle, currently the National History Museum, and one which was the scene of numerous battles during the American invasion, military college, and Presidential residence until 1944. It was also the imperial palace of Maximiliano and Carlota: the former was an Austrian duke in the house of Hapsburg the latter a Belgian princess, who were installed as Emperor and Empress of Mexico during a six-year French intervention known as the "Second Mexican Empire".

We'll spend 1 hour and 30 minutes visiting the castle. During the tour, we'll see sculptures of historical figures such as Cuauhtémoc (the last Aztec Emperor) and Hernán Cortés (one of the first Spanish colonisers), and discover interesting stories about the conquest, independence, and revolution. We'll breathe the French air of 19th-century Mexico as we pass through halls decorated in a traditional European style and get to know the life of Emperor Maximilian.

Having enjoyed some of the best views of Mexico City from the balconies of the Chapultepec Castle, you will have free time for perhaps a refreshing drink.

Then our tour continues, taking you back to the very origins of Mesoamerica, on a 2-hour 30-minute guided tour of the National Anthropological Museum, which holds the largest collection of pre-Colombian art in the world.

We'll follow the footsteps of prehispanic societies, discovering reconstructions of the tombs and temples of the old Aztec and Mayan civilizations, as well as invaluable archaeological pieces from the Zapotec, Toltec, Teotihuacan, and Mexica civilizations.

Partial Closures

Occasionally, Chapultepec Castle may close without prior notice. If we're unable to do this part of the tour, we'll offer you a refund for the corresponding part of the tour.

Pickup Options

Depending on availability, this trip can include hotel pickup and drop-off.

Tour without pickup: we'll meet in front of the flag at the entrance to the National Anthropological Museum.
Tour with pickup: keep in mind that this service is only available for hotels located in the historic center and in the Polanco, Paseo de la Reforma and Roma-Condensa areas. In case you are staying in other areas, we will indicate the exact pickup point. The service is not available for Airbnb-type accommodations.
