Davide is Extremely Knowledgeable! Well worth it!

Published on Dec, 2024

This was our absolute favorite tour by Estacion Mexico. Davide did an excellent job. He was so engaging, making a tour personalized to our interests. I knew a little about some of the artists mentioned from my art history degree but still found his tour to be extremely knowledgeable. You can tell he is passionate about his subject. It’s well worth the money. Even my partner who is not an art person found this tour to be the best of the 4 we took.

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

Published on Nov, 2024

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!

Published on Nov, 2024

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.
