David is the best! - Highly recommend taking this tour with David! He’s so knowledgeable and passionate about the history of the murals and the story they tell. He also took the time to teach us about Mexican history and culture along the way. One of the stops is a mural in the market and we would have never known they were there - really feels like you get an insider tour

Mexico City Muralist Explained - Ulysses was truly exceptional—his depth of knowledge and approachable personality made the experience unforgettable. He welcomed questions at every stop, guiding us to hidden gems of Mexican culture and art history that we would have never found on our own. The murals, rich in political commentary and cultural significance, are absolute treasures that everyone visiting Mexico City should see. There's so much to explore that one day isn't nearly enough. Honestly, just appreciating all the murals could take a week! Thank you, Ulysses, for making our time so fun, informative, and engaging. We can't wait to return and complete the tour with you!

Immersive mural walking tour! - This was a top-notch tour of some of Mexico’s important muralists led by Eren who was excellent in bringing to life so much of the artist’s context and especially Mexico’s history. It immensely helped us appreciate the content of each mural and their cultural impact. The tour moved us from educational institute to public market to cultural institute via walking and public transport which we also liked. Thank you and would highly recommend.

Warryor is the guide to have! - We had the best tour with Warryor! It was supposed to be a bigger group, but the other party was very late so he took us on our own tour. It was amazing! Even though some sites were closed due to renovations, he made sure to take us to multiple murals and explained the history behind the muralism movement in Mexico. Not only was her very knowledgeable, he was also passionate about the murals and his job. There was so much more we learned with him than we ever would have on our own. He was friendly, engaging, and easy to talk with, not just about the art but about the culture and the city. I would definitely take another tour with Warryor. Highly recommend. As a plus, he knows the best place for aguas frescas.

Superb Mexican murals tour - The Mexican murals tour we took with our guide Erendira was superb. She is informed, passionate and entertaining. We thought it would be a quick survey, but she was so amazing , we kept going for 3-4 hours (even though she offered to make it shorter, but we were having such a great time, we kept saying “no, please let’s keep going !” We now truly understand the historical context, the personalities of the artists and why murals exist in places like public markets. Couldn’t recommend it more!

He was interesting and friendly. I appreciated that after he explained what we were looking at, he always paused to ask if we had any questions. I absolutely recommend this tour to anyone who loves art and history.
