Amazing History Tour!

The anthropology tour with Arturo was amazing. Arturo did a great job of taking my family through the museum and highlighted the most important sights. Arturo kept the tour light and funny and even shared with us his unique background! I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting CDMX!

Arturo is worth every cent!

Arturo was very engaging and informative. He had a great way of walking us through the different periods of time and relating it to how each one affected the other! I would hire him again in an instant!!

So glad to invest in the tour

The museum is amazing. I could have spent three days here. Arturo curated our experience helping us to feel the thread of human history. It was a perfect start to digging into Meso American humans. Our original guide had to cancel but pie de Mexico found a quick replacement with good communication.

The best private tour!

Our tour with Mariel was awesome! She hit all the highlights and kept things interesting. Even our 9 yr old enjoyed it and that’s saying a lot! We would have had 0 idea what we were looking at in the museum if we didn’t do a tour because all the signs are in Spanish. This tour is the way to go. Skip the groups and take a tour made just for your family.

Andres is a great storyteller and guide!

Our private tour with Andres was fantastic. The tour was for our family, two adults and two children, ages 8yo and 6yo. Although our kids had a very short attention span, Andres took it with stride and still engaged them when he could and tried to include them as much as possible. When they weren't running off, they had a million questions, and he answered them all very patiently. The standout detail of the entire experience was Andres's storytelling expertise. The entire tour flowed very thoughtfully and naturally. We learned so much. I even caught other museum visitors hanging around trying to catch what Andres was sharing. We highly recommend Andres and Mexico a Pie!
