Amazing - This tour was amazing and our guide was totally amazing. We went to beautiful and interesting places and saw fantastic murals. Loved the Secreteria of Educacion, with tons of Diego Rivera murals, best. Highly recommend! Company was GREAT to deal with.

Fantastic tour to see well and little known murals - This was a fantastic tour with Warryor who showed us some murals we would have never known about otherwise. He went above and beyond because we ran out of time to visit the last stop. He invited us to meet him later that day after his afternoon tour and he took us to the last mural. Very knowledgable about the murals and the city. Highly recommend!

The hidden murals of Mexico City: must see tour! - This was one of the most amazing tours we have been on. Our guide, Warryor, took us to see murals that we would never known about or been able to explore on our own. He was incredibly knowledgeable about the murals and the artists. He also gave us wonderful tips about Mexico City itself, including restaurants and other sites. He went above and beyond his tour duties because we ran out of time to see the last stop because my husband stops to take a lot of photographs. He met up with us again after his afternoon tour and took us to the last stop, another incredible mural by Diego Rivera. His enthusiasm for his work is inspiring and contagious. I would highly recommend any tour he gives.

Well worth it! - I absolutely LOVED my tour! I went with my 14 year old daughter. It ended up being just us on the tour and I felt SO lucky! I got to ask all the questions I wanted and take all the time I wanted when we went to the various places. Our tour guide was incredibly knowledgeable about both the area and the art. I am a mural painter around Austin, Texas, so I was excited that this tour was offered. I would recommend it to anyone interested in art and history. Many of the murals were politically charged, which was a neat peek into history.

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.
