Emiliano was a truly... - Emiliano was a truly amazing guide. He was very knowledgable, personable and obviously passionate about the works we visited. I traveled with my husband and 2 other friends so the tour ended up being a private tour. We all agreed that this was a highlight of our trip to Mexico City. People should be advised that it is a lot of walking and standing but it is so worth it!

Muralism in Depth - Emiliano was a terrific guide. He provided us with a deep insights into the history of Mexico, the artistry and style of the murals, and the interesting lives of the muralists. He answered our many questions with both care and knowledge. He also stimulated our interest by asking us what we saw in the mural in front of us. Note: this is not a tour for someone who wants a superficial experience. We thoroughly enjoyed our tour with Emiliano, and we recommend him highlight.

Exceptional! Great Value. Highly recommend. - The guide was very personable, informative and exceptionally knowledgeable. He shared events occurring in Mexico at the time of the painting, the controversy of some, the political ties of others and the painters intended message. His English was exceptionally. Had I not booked I would have missed much! The meeting point and time were well organized. The walk (we are 70ish) was well paced. All questions were welcomed. Highly recommend.

Viva Emiliano! - Make this tour a priority when you visit Mexico City. Our tour guide Emiliano was fantastic. It's thanks to him that the murals came to life. Be prepared to be drawn into Mexico's history and the personalities of the Muralists as expressed in their art: Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros. Emiliano's passion for this art form was contagious. Highly recommend. We would book again.

Understand the purpose and meaning of the murals - My friend and I saw many murals with Emiliano. Two other people were also on the tour. He was extremely knowledgeable about history, politics, Mexican culture, and art…and very engaging. He answered all of our questions and taught us so much. I never would have understood the meanings behind the murals without his explanations. It made for a wonderful, rich experience. Thanks Emiliano.
