Tickets to the Chapultepec Castle are valid for a pre-booked date and time, so it’s important to arrive at the meeting point on time. You will skip the line at the ticket office, but not at the entrance and security. Admission includes the permanent collection of the National History Museum at Chapultepec Castle.
It is a walking tour, so we recommend wearing comfortable shoes. We're not afraid of the sun and rain, so the tour will take place as planned, regardless of weather. Please check the forecast and dress appropriately.
For the best experience, we limit your group size to 1-25 guests per guide, so that everyone can get personal attention, ask questions and hear commentary clearly. We will arrange additional guides for larger groups, so the price will be higher.
