Our guide Diego was exceptional, very knowledgeable and generous with his time. I learned so much about both history and art.
I was in Mexico City a year ago and was very frustrated that i couldn't get someone to explain in English the meaning behind the murals at the Palacio so this time i decided to book a tour in advance. It was worth it! Our guide, Diego, was great. He had a lot of information and spent time answering our questions. Would definitely recommend him and the tour.
The Interior of the museum is a must see in and of itself. Our guide Diego was extremely informative and gave us some background information which was very helpful. You would not be able to appreciate the Art and the artist’s vision and motivation just by looking at the murals on your own. Context is very important.
Diego provided us with a wonderful in-depth tour of the three key murals from the three great Mexican muralists plus an extended few gems in the gallery. Our tour was at the same time informative and fun. Diego was incredibly knowledgeable and took care to give us time to ask questions. We learned not only about the murals but more broadly about art in Mexico and the historical context of the country. Would highly recommend.
Diego Was very informed and really told the mural stories with great detail and excitement Great guide!!
Diego was an awesome and very informative guide! Thought I knew a few things but I learned so much more during my tour. Gracias Diego!!
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.
Very knowledgeable young man guided us through the murals explaining symbolism and history as well as background on the artists. Invaluable experience. Very very knowledgeable guide. Highly recommended
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!
Great tour and Delta, the tour guide, was fantastic! ………….learned a lot about the 3 famous Mexican artists ………………..thank you, Delta!
Amazing tour, Diego was knowledgable and engaging and really explained the murals. Very good English, explained everything clearly and answered all my questions. Highly recommend
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.
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!
Erudite Diego gave us the most wonderful tour of the murals of the Palacio de Belles Artes. He was so well-read, intelligent and informed. By doing the tour with him he opened our eyes up to the meaning and depth behind the art and artists. What a wonderful dive into the rich history of Mexico and the world.
I can't recommend this tour enough. Diego was super knowledgeable. Night and day difference having a guide explain the symbolism of the murals and the biographical background of the artists.
Really great tour. Diego was very knowledgeable and took his time to explain the entire history of each mural as well as history of Mexico during that time.
We were originally scheduled to take a tour of the Belles Artes palace, but the police had the area cordoned off, so Natalia offered to take us on the murals tour. It was AMAZING. She provided a great deal of background about the artists and their relationships with each other. She also did a great job explaining the symbolism of each of the murals we viewed. There is no way we could have understood what we were seeing without her instruction. We feel like we stumbled into a treat and would recommend the tour to anyone wanting to learn about the muralist tradition in Mexico.
We met Jorge in the mural section of the Bellas Artes. What a wonderful eye opener to the genius of these artists. Jorge brought the art alive with his animated discussion of the time period, politics and lives of these muralists. Many thanks Jorge for making our visit so incredible!
It was an in depth explanation of the murals. Natalie Andrea was very knowledgeable. Also very pleasant. The murals depict the history of Mexico.
My sister and I had Diego as our tour guide and he was amazing! He accompanied us to the archeology museum, the Castillo, the Diego Rivera museum and Belle d’Artes, and he was extremely professional and so knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions and made our visit to Mexico City much more interesting and informative, not to mention how nice he was to spend time with. I would highly recommend this tour company and am so glad we had Diego to take us to all the great sites! He was top notch!
Diego was an amazing tour guide. He was interesting and funny and always willing to answer our questions. His knowledge was quite remarkable; there wasn't a question he couldn't answer. I would recommend him to anyone.
Rodrigo was superb. Muchas gracias!
Honestly, I found the explanation very pleasant and they answered all my questions, also with real information and incredible diction; my guide Diego was very kind and personalized the explanation for us in a mix of English and Spanish, which was clear and precise; when you can, look for him, incredible guy.
Excelente tour con explicación al detalle sobre el Palacio de Bellas Artes y los murales. Recomendable para todos que quieran aprender sobre el muralismo de México
Excelente experiencia. Leon nuestro guía se notaba muy bien preparado a pesar de que era su primera vez haciendo el tour. Sin embargo se desenvolvió excelentemente en inglés y fue muy amable en explicarnos cada mural, su historia y sus detalles
Diego is an excellent guide! We learned a lot! We like the experience a lot. The Palace of Fine Arts is a magnificent building.
We met by surprise with this tour and loved it. It made us enjoy the experience of the palace of fine arts in a much better way. Very knowledgeable and passionate guides, we fully recommend it
I loved the tour, Daniela, excellent guide solved all my doubts, very attentive all the time that everything was clear, recommend 🫶
Our guide Daniela paid us an extraordinary and detailed visit to the murals. It is really worth it to understand the mural movement and the history of Mexico. I highly recommend it.
This was our first tour. A total surprise, after being frustrated that we couldn’t find anyone to tell us where the fine art museum tours started, we saw Jesus finishing one. Out of curiosity we asked availability and there we started. We loved their availability, knowledge and sympathy. Thanks to that pleasant experience we ended up doing 3 more tours with the company. We couldn't do more because we didn't have time! 100% recommended
Of the 3 tours I did in CDMX, this tour was the best by a large margin. The guillas are very intelligent young people. If you are a curious person with many questions, stop searching because this is the right tour for you. Economical, friendly, and detailed. Thanks Diego!
The tour was incredible. The guide Jorge was very explanatory, expressive, friendly, gentle and knowledgeable about the details. Very impressive! Super recommend!
I had a very good experience with them. The staff is quite trained, the explanations are very clear, I assure you that if you go with them on a tour you will be fascinated. I will definitely come back to take another tour.
The guides know the place very well, their explanations are very interesting and you have a very pleasant time, thank you all for your kindness and excellent treatment
Taking the tour with the passionate explanation of each mural is unmatched! Great experience and very well prepared people! I would definitely take another tour with you again!
Thanks to Educando con Cultura for all their professionalism, knowledge and passion to transmit the history of Mexico. Definitely a great recommendation.
