Mexico City · CHAPULTEPEC CASTLE TOURS
50 reviewed
The only royal castle in the Americas sits on a hill above the city’s biggest park, and the view alone earns the climb. These are the best Chapultepec Castle tours: which fold in the Anthropology Museum the same morning, how much walking each involves, and what you pay to skip the queue.

“Our tour guide was knowledgeable about the anthropology museum but not as much about the castle. He also seemed irritated about us having our kids with us.”
A 5-hour guided tour of Chapultepec Castle and Mexico’s Anthropology Museum, with English commentary, city views, and key artifacts included.
“The tour was ok, but the guide was stoic/not very approachable/not engaging. There was a 30 min break in the middle that we weren't expecting. It was very slow paced. The castle was nice and the anthropology museum is amazing, but the guide didn't add much to our visits.”
Private guided visit to Chapultepec Castle and the Anthropology Museum with Jorge, tickets included, plus Bosque walk.
“The castle was probably the best part of our trip to CDMX! You absolutely can’t go home without seeing it. The Anthropology Museum is also a must see, but this tour only covers 1 room of the 6-8 exhibit rooms in the museum. We self toured the rest of the museum at a later time. Jorge, our guide, was VERY knowledgeable; he was a former university professor. He was very friendly too. Only nitpick would be it’s more of a lecture than it is interactive. It was still great, but if you have kids with short attention span, it may be difficult. They will love Chapultepec Castle much more than…”

“Jorge did an excellent job in providing history and details of the Chapultepec castle. The private tour made it easy to not get lost in the crowd. Additionally he had a good sense of humor, I recommend for anyone looking to experience the castle first hand with awesome and some (touching) facts about the Chapultepec castle.”

“This was our second time to Mexico City but first time to visit either museum. I was worried it would be overwhelming to do both in one day, but Carlos made the experience feel like just the right balance. We never felt rushed or like we were missing out. He is an exceptionally knowledgeable guide. And the break between both locations was just perfect. I highly recommend this tour and especially Carlos.”

“Sal was our tour guide. He genuinely cares about the history of Mexico and his passion was shared with us through the history, fun facts and the excellent conversations during our time with him. Tour was paced well starting in Historic Center then walking by the Palacio of Bella Artes. During our walk he pointed out buildings of historic importance and shared information along the way. He accommodated our request to go into el Palacio de Bella Artes to see some key pieces of art, we learned if you are a teacher or student with valid ID we could enter for free. From there we drove to Chapuletepec Castle and…”

“From the very start Jaime was very welcoming and was really excited for the day we had ahead. We appreciate the detailed information that he provided us, very insightful and educational but most of very fun! He made sure to answer any and all questions. We can tell that others around us (not part of the tour) wished that they were. So much so that he was stopped fives times to get his contact information so that next time they can all book him as their guide. We were very fortunate to have Jaime. Definitely would recommend this tour to anyone who’s looking to get in touch with their roots…”

“Beautiful city! Tlilal, our tour guide, was so awesome. She shared so much knowledge of the city, culture, and history. Her English was perfecto! Good thing because our Español es not so bueno. I recommend this tour 100% but be aware that there is a lot of walking. By the end of the day my fitness tracker said we trekked 7 miles (11 km). We stopped for an excellent lunch at El Cardenal near the Cathedral and we even stopped at Pasteleria Ideal for some afternoon desserts.”
