Excellent and highly recommended! - My husband, daughter (11 years old) and I did the Murals and Graphitis tour and we loved it. The guide explained in great detail historical, architectural, cultural and other aspects, in a very pleasant way for both adults and my daughter. She was very interested, asked many questions and loved to paint her graffiti. Highly recommended!

Great experience, especially for families with teenagers who like art and graffiti - If you are interested in muralism and art, this tour is a must. The tour takes you off the beaten paths to some of the lesser known murals, by some incredible artists, and to some cool spots in the city that would be hard to discover without help. Our guide, Jorge, did a fantastic job explaining the symbolism in the paintings and how the political message developed over time. The guide took us on a ride with the public transport system (metro + bus) which was a great experience in itself. The tour ended at an old factory ("Ex Fabrica") that is now repurposed to a public space with bars and shops where every surface is covered with the most breathtaking graffiti art, and where we even got the chance to do some graffiti spraying ourselves. Great experience, overall!

Mural’s history in Me I I Cuty - Wear walking shoes as you cover a lot of ground but the knowledge you can leave with ; knowing all the mural history of MC is outstanding. If bad with Spanish names, snap pictures of their signature art so can compare elsewhere and later on other tours in MC

An authentic look at the city's culture - This tour made me feel like I was exploring the creative heart of Mexico City. Seeing the artists in the process and interacting with the local community was an enriching experience. From the impressive murals in the Palace of Fine Arts to the secret corners of the city full of surprising graffiti. And doing my own graffiti at the end was the best!
