A great exploration of Mexico City - We saw murals and buildings we never would have found on our own. The guide was very good. Fun! But be aware that you need to be able to walk. Not a lot, but some

Unique tour of Mexico City’s murals - This is an excellent and unique tour. We visited several off the beaten track spots in Mexico City and saw beautiful murals, many by Diego Rivera. Our guide, Ulysses, was extremely approachable, funny, and knowledgeable not only about art, but about our many questions about Mexican history, politics, culture. Highly highly recommend!

Must see Murals Tour - If you are interested in priceless, original art while visiting Mexico City, please take this exceptional tour. Our amazing guide David crafted a very personal tour for our small group based on our interests and understanding of the many murals around the city. His expertise about the medium, the artists, the settings and the contextual history of each mural viewed was highly professional and engaging. Loved every moment. A great day!

Wow - do it!!! - This tour deserves more than five stars - it is an amazing opportunity to immerse yourself in situ in the history of Mexican murals. We visited three different sites, a college, a market and the Diego Rivera museum, each one so distinct. If you are fortunate, your guide will be the sensational Davide. His breadth of knowledge and passion for the subject made this a standout tour for us, plus he is a warm, kind man who is simply a pleasure to be around. We followed the tour by a visit to the Palacio de Belles Artes for…yup, more murals. Highly recommended!

Understand the motivation and history behind the famous Mexican murals - We spent a fantastic few hours with our tour guide Sofia, looking at a surprisingly big number of murals at different locations around Centro Histórico. From public buildings and markets to the new Museo Vivo del Muralismo. Sofia took us to secluded places to see murals that only few people know are there to see. We saw some of the best examples of murals by the famous Rivera and Orozco as well as by their disciples. Understanding the historical and political environment from Sofia's eclectic knowledge makes the experience much richer. Highly recommended.

Takes you beyond the typical tourist experience! - This was one of the highlights of our time in Mexico City. The guide was extremely knowledgeable and took us to see murals that we could never have found on our own. I was thrilled to see a Noguchi mural and several murals by students of the great muralists in markets and other public spaces. Our guide's nickname is "Warrior" because he is from Guerrero. He had quite a following. Several members of our group had previously been on tours with him.
