Learn about the history of Mexico through mural art

The walking mural tour was a fabulous way to learn about the history and politics of Mexico in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Our guide Diana was so knowledgeable and personable, and provided deep insight into the artists and stories behind these powerful works of art. Highly recommended!

Learn about Rivera AND other muralists

When you think of murals in Mexico City, does your mind automatically go to Diego Rivera? This excellent tour teaches you about other important Mexican muralists who were Rivera’s contemporaries and who had equally interesting murals that commented on social-political issues. Our guide was a goldmine of information about Mexican murals, muralists and art history.

A rich and wonderful tour. I loved the guide - Violet!

I enjoyed this tour immensely! Seeing these fantastic murals with the accompaniment of a knowledgeable guide was a rich and memorable experience. My friends felt the guide talked too much but I do not after - she simply overflowed with information and enthusiasm. Her name was Violet and she was a lovely person. I can’t recommend this tour highly enough.
