Great experience and great tour guide! - Definitely worthwhile if you're curious about the stories behind those incredible murals. León, our tour guide, was excellent-providing insightful details not just about the paintings themselves, but also their historical and cultural context.

Great tour/ Jorge is a gem - I found the murals very hard to understand on my own without a tour so I booked one last minute. Jorge was kind and super knowledgeable. Multiple people stopped us on the tour to get his card so that they could book the tour in the future. I learned so much and he was excited to answer any questions. We ended up booking a follow up tour with him for the anthropology museum. Take this tour!

World Class Art 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.

Do this first! Understand the murals will make rest of your México tour more meaningful - 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!
