Mexico's cultural experiences are among the most varied and deep in the world. Guided tours of the National Museum of Anthropology in Chapultepec Park — covering the Aztec, Maya, Olmec, and Zapotec civilisations in one of the world's great archaeological collections — are best done with a specialist guide who makes the scale navigable. The Frida Kahlo Museum in Coyoacán, the Diego Rivera murals tour at the National Palace, and the Templo Mayor archaeological site with an expert guide form a cultural circuit of exceptional density. Day of the Dead ceremonies in Oaxaca and Michoacán, traditional chocolate and mole cooking classes, and Oaxacan textile weaving workshops extend the programme. Tours by local guides make it feel closer, sharper, more real.
