Excellent Muralist tour ! - We took the muralist tour with Emiliano and he did a great job . We covered 3-4 different sites and he explained some of the key murals and the history and background of each artist - Diego Rivera, Orozco and Sequeiros. It was very interesting and insightful and I felt it gave us a good idea of Mexico’s cultural history of last 100-150 years.

Terrific experience! - Emiliano was the best! He was passionate and knowledgeable and what was so unique was that he welcomed questions and conversation which made the tour seem really personal. When we got hungry he even brought us to his favorite tacos shop and showed us what to order. Then he went to buy our tickets at the palacio de Bella’s rates while we ate lunch. We could never have seen the murals in the same way without him! Great experience which will stay with us for a lifetime! We wish we could give him more than five stars!

A can't miss. Cathartic for those reeling from American politics - The absolute highlight of our trip. The detailed explanations of each mural added so much richness. And the parallels to our political problems today brought me literally to tears.
