Very knowledgeable guide helped make meaning of amazing murals - Our guide was very knowledgeable. He put the murals in context of Mexican history as well as artistic movements. I would not have gotten as much out of looking at them without a guide.

It's not just about Rivera - Guide was great.
Operator did not notify us that the Ministry of Ed that was the main reason for going on this tour, was closed.
Other guests did not realize this was a walking tour (!!) and were not able to keep up. Obnoxious Americans,
