Incredible Mexico City Art and Architecture Tour

Published on Oct, 2024

I absolutely loved my tour with the wonderful Adhara! Adhara is extremely knowledgeable about architecture and art, and passionate about her love of Mexican culture. She was a joy to be with. Adhara took me to a number of significant buildings. The Palacio de Bellas Artes was a standout. It is beautiful from the outside, but even more exciting were the Diego Rivera murals in the interior. I had no idea these murals would be on the tour and very excited to see his work. There are also many murals by Siquerios in the building that are pretty "wild" and worth seeing. Adhara explained the meaning of the all of the murals to me -- she did an outstanding job and truly understands these art pieces. Another favorite building on the tour was the Old Post Office, a beautiful ornate building with an incredible interior. The National Art Museum was also a fabulous stop. The art work within is from the 1500's through present day. Adhara again presented the key pieces to me and also gave me a few minutes to wander through the exhibits solo. We also visited the Bank of Mexico museum--an exhibit of the monetary system in Mexico that was fun to go through. Because we had a few minutes left, Adhara took me for a few blocks further into the downtown--where we admired beautiful colonial buildings and got a nice feel for the area. She also took me to the oldest candy store in Mexico and bought a little treat for me. I thought that was so kind of her! This is an incredible tour. I highly recommend Adhara and Must-see Buildings and Palaces of Mexico City.

Can't miss for lovers of art-deco and other beautiful architecture

Published on Sep, 2024

Leonardo brought us around to several beautiful buildings in the area that we absolutely loved. I would not recommend going to Palacio de Bellas Artes WITHOUT going to it first on this tour. Leonardo knew so much history about the building and all the murals inside that we would have lost out on had he not been there. We we're able to see so much in just a few hours and Leonardo made it so easy and digestible for us

Historic city center tour with Bernardo

Published on Sep, 2024

We had a lovely day with Bernardo our tour guide. He was kind and had a lot of information (very knowledgable) to share about the history of his country. You can tell he loves and has respect for Mexico. We saw a lot and learned a lot. He was kind enough to stay with us until our Uber arrived.

Mexico City *must experience tour*

CDMX tour for two

Published on Jul, 2024

Carlo was a fantastic guide who had so much knowledge about the building we saw, but most importantly you could feel his passion for the art and architecture as well as CDMX. Highly recommend!
