Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting CDMX!Written 3 January 2025

I appreciated that Diego, our splendid guide for the Wall Murals, got in touch with me several times in advance of our tour to see whether there were any questions, give me contact info and confirm where we would meet and how we could recognize him.
In person Diego was remarkably articulate, knowledgeable and thorough . We found him wonderfully responsive to questions, What we especially liked was that he was totally attuned to his audience. ( I was more interested in the artwork and personal relationship between Diego Rivera and Jose Clemente Orozco, while my husband wanted to discuss the politics and history.) We both learned so much from Diego's presentation. Finally, I would mention that our tour was exactly the right length of time and amount of walking for us. We could not have asked for anything more.

We met Jorge in the mural section of the Bellas Artes. What a wonderful eye opener to the genius of these artists. Jorge brought the art alive with his animated discussion of the time period, politics and lives of these muralists. Many thanks Jorge for making our visit so incredible!

I regretted booking this murals tour on my last day in México. Jorge was clearly the subject matter expert and has painted a very insightful tour of entire México history. If I have gotten in touch with Jorge earlier, my entire tour of Mexico would’ve been more meaningful. He has an excellent command of English as well as translating the artful intricacies to non-art majors like myself to full understand and appreciate the magnificence of each mural.
Thank you so much, Jorge!

My sister and I had Diego as our tour guide and he was amazing! He accompanied us to the archeology museum, the Castillo, the Diego Rivera museum and Belle d’Artes, and he was extremely professional and so knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions and made our visit to Mexico City much more interesting and informative, not to mention how nice he was to spend time with. I would highly recommend this tour company and am so glad we had Diego to take us to all the great sites! He was top notch!

This was our first tour. A total surprise, after being frustrated that we couldn’t find anyone to tell us where the fine art museum tours started, we saw Jesus finishing one. Out of curiosity we asked availability and there we started. We loved their availability, knowledge and sympathy. Thanks to that pleasant experience we ended up doing 3 more tours with the company. We couldn't do more because we didn't have time! 100% recommended

We were originally scheduled to take a tour of the Belles Artes palace, but the police had the area cordoned off, so Natalia offered to take us on the murals tour. It was AMAZING. She provided a great deal of background about the artists and their relationships with each other. She also did a great job explaining the symbolism of each of the murals we viewed. There is no way we could have understood what we were seeing without her instruction. We feel like we stumbled into a treat and would recommend the tour to anyone wanting to learn about the muralist tradition in Mexico.
