Explore the Anthropology Museum with a Historian

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.
