The National Anthropology Museum feels like stepping into a time capsule, unlocking secrets of ancient civilizations at every turn. Every corner holds a piece of history waiting to be unearthed.
Sometimes you can feel lost in time, but through my eyes, you’ll be able to find the right steps to uncover more answers and more questions.
Since childhood, this museum has been my favorite place in the city; it became my home for many years. Nowadays, the excitement of showing such a special space to other people is always immense.

What To Expect
Museo Nacional de Antropologia
Through the eyes of "A Young Archaeologist," you will discover Mesoamerica and its cultures and regions. My objective is to show you that pre-Hispanic history in this country goes beyond just the Maya and Aztecs. I will take you to the main exhibition halls to explore the masterpieces of each culture. We will discuss their history, religion, politics, economy, architecture, and traditions. Together, we will understand their possible meanings. By the end, you will have knowledge of the great variety of cultures in the past and their processes over time. Additionally, you will see why this museum is the favorite space of this archaeologist. Passion, fun, and professionalism are guaranteed.

5.00I highly recommend a private tour with David, aka Pakalito. He is a very knowledgeable and expert guide, and a professional archaeologist. We did the three hour tour of the Museum of archeology with him this week and enjoyed it immensely. The length of the tour and pace were good, he listened to our interests and experience and adapted his tour accordingly. We learned a lot and his explanations were clear and engaging. Also his English is fluent which helped us a lot. We felt the tour prepared us well for better understanding and appreciating the sites at Teotihuacán and the Zocalo as well Mexican history generally. He is also fun and entertaining. We visited four main galleries with him and after the tour ended and he left us we had some lunch in the cafe garden and then went back to look again at some of the exhibits. Altogether we spent about 5 hours at this stunning museum and it was a highlight of our time in Mexico City. Don’t hesitate, book Pakalito!
So worth a guide at this amazing museum!

5.00Fantastic guide. My group was caught in horrible traffic and we were running late - our guide was in contact with us throughout and came to get us at entry way when we arrived. Our group was pleasantly small. I have been to the museum before, but not with a guide. She took up to exhibits I had not seen - she was enthusiastic and knowledgeable and engaging. My daughter is studying anthropology, so she was thrilled and the guide was able to answer all of her questions!

5.00We loved our tours with Pakalito - we did both this museum tour as well as a guided visit to Teotihuacán. Pakalito is incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and engaging as a guide - he had fascinating, in-depth answers for any questions we had and made this enormous museum both more approachable and more interesting that we would have found it on our own. I was initially hesitant about booking a tour for a museum as we usually enjoy them plenty at our own pace but was very happy we did the tour in this case. One of the best tour experiences we have ever done - highly recommended!
Amazing tour!

5.00David (also known as Pokalito) gave us an amazing 3-hour tour of the Archeology Museum. He made it easy for us and very entertaining. If you’re going to the museum, you need David!

5.00Absolutely wonderful. A passionate and very knowledgeable archeologist who greatly enhanced our preparation for a follow-on visit to Mayan ruins. This guide has been on some key digs, he really knows what he is talking about. He also gave us great presentations on Aztecs and other non-Maya group. Highly recommended. Great use of smart tablet to pass on key points. We send as we approach Palenque, where we will give him a cheer at one of his favorite Mayan sites.
Become an anthropologist!

5.00Pakalito! Thank you so much for a wonderful visit to the Anthropology Museum. It was a different level of enjoyment. The Anthropology Museum in Mexico City is one of the must visit sites, and you can only truly enjoy it when guided by a professional like Pakalito. He was punctual, organized, engaging. Very kind!! We cannot wait to visit the museum again with him.
