Explore the life of the Mexican Emperor Maximilian I of Habsburg on a tour of Chapultepec Castle, located on top of Mexico City's Chapultepec Hill, a site once sacred to the Aztecs. Venture inside the stunning monument, and discover rooms of classical European ornamentations. Stroll the halls full of light and discover stairways made of marble. Admire the sculptures and busts of historical figures, such as Emperor Cuauhtémoc and the Spanish Conquistador Hernán Cortés, along the way. Then depart Chapultepec Castle (also known as the "National Museum of History") and break for lunch, before going to the National Museum of Anthropology.

What Travellers Say
Our tour guide Leonardo was excellent. He was very knowledgeable, answered everyone’s questions, and very thorough! We would happily recommend this tour to anyone wanting to learn a good spread of history and visit both museums in a single day.
It was lovely, but a bit overwhelming. So much information to process and there were no pauses to give us a chance to absorb what we learned. I think it would help to see fewer things and have more time to really understand what we are seeing. It was hard to fully appreciate the castle because we were exhausted after the Anthropology Museum. A longer lunch break would have helped.
There were too many people in the tour. Alex was extremely knowledgeable on all the history but he spoke a little too fast, his accent was thick and his voice amplifier wasn’t working
