Everything was excellent! Our Spanish-speaking guide (Alexa) was simply perfect. She took us to all the iconic spots, which really helped us appreciate everything more. The museum is beautiful and well worth the extra cost to visit, so we highly recommend this experience.

What we liked most about the tour was our guide, who showed us around and explained everything extremely well. She explained everything clearly and showed us the entire exhibition with great respect. I don't have a camera on hand right now, but it was a really lovely moment. Thank you so much to our guide, Cinthya, for helping us understand everything.

It was difficult to know where to meet. The direction were incorrect. It would have been better to tell us to meet at the entrance area.
Hector was very enthusiastic and passionate about the ruins and the history
