Grab a spot, great tour! - Jose exceeded all of our expectations. He was bright, articulate, knowledgeable, insightful, enthusiastic and caring. He brought the artwork alive and wanted to us to feel the history, soul and message within. Our tour was held on a Tuesday and when we found that the Dept of Education was unexpectedly closed, Jose rearranged his schedule to meet us the next day and continue the tour! We were overwhelmed by his dedication and his sincere desire to share the history of his country and the richness of its art. I enthusiastically recommend this tour.

More than excellent! - Jose is by far one of the best guides I ever had. So much knowledge, and so much passion about every subject matter that came across. From Art History, to History, to Anthropology, to Politics. There wasn't a question he didn't have an answer to, nor wasn't eager to discuss.

Fantastic tour with a fantastic guide - I attended the muralism tour, led by Jose. This was the best walking tour I've done in CDMX, not only for the excellent art, but also the expert explanation by Jose whose knowledge is unsurpassed. In addition, he was very friendly and caring and did his best to make the experience informative, positive and engaging. A fantastic morning looking at murals with Jose!
