      The best tour we took in Mexico City!
      Balaan was an amazing guide. The tour is perfect! We had enough time to look at all the murals, but at the same time it was not too long or too tiring. Balaan is extremely knowledgeable and he really cares. So if you have any interest in murals or just Mexican art in general I highly recommend this tour!

      Great Introduction to Mexico City
      Delta was very knowledgeable, engaging and did a great job of explaining the history of all the sites we visited. We even had a well deserved delicious hot chocolate just before the end of the tour. A great introduction to some of the famous sites in Mexico City!

      Great off the beaten path tour
      This is a great tour. It is nice to see a quieter side of Mexico City. Jorge was our tour guide and he did a great job explaining the lives of the people buried in the national cemetery. If you have the time, you should go on this tour.

      Insightful Historical Facts
      Jorge was amazing! He explained in great detail the Mesoamérica civilizations, and how it lead up to the Mexicas. He explained the animals symbols and what they meant. Then we visited Chapultepec, and once again, he was very insightful. It was a history course from early civilization up to Porfirio Díaz done in 5 hours.

      Wonderful walking tour
      Delta was such an amazing tour guide! She was very friendly, personable, and knowledgable about the area and the history of Mexico City as someone who grew up here. This tour is a great mix of history and culture- with stops at churches, parks, markets, and museums. Everything was well paced- we had plenty of time to take in the scenery, do a little shopping and ask questions throughout. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting CDMX!

      Great intro to CDMX
      Diego was an excellent tour guide! He was super knowledgeable about the area and spoke excellent English. We were the only ones on the tour so we got to bother him with all our random questions about Mexico and he even provided NYE recommendations via text. Highly recommend this tour for an introduction to the city.

      Go on this tour if you care about art or history
      Amazing guide. Amazing tour. The museum has no audio guide, so if you want to learn about the amazing art, you must take this tour! The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating. Overall really perfect

      In depth tour of Anthropology Museum and Chapultepec, paced for a young family!
      Our guide Jorge just went so above and beyond. Very knowledgeable and very accommodating of our family’s requests to modify for our youngest child’s endurance.

      Having the transportation and guide pre-arranged is a must! Made for an enjoyable relaxing experience. We would’ve missed out on so many interesting historical details without our guide. Daniel is the best guide!!!

      Great tour and amazing guide!
      Jorge is a friendly and nice guy, as well as a great and passionate guide. Without him, we would not have understood the meaning and value of the wonderful works of art in these two great museums. Moreover, he speaks perfect English, which is not very common in Mexico. We strongly recommend this tour! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    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.
