Tour Overview

Discover Mexico’s artistic and cultural heritage through three of its most emblematic symbols: the monumental work of Diego Rivera, the influence of Frida Kahlo on his personal and artistic life, and the ancestral tradition of the Day of the Dead. This specialized muralism tour offers access to more sites and experiences than any other option available.

The itinerary begins at the birthplace of Mexican muralism, presenting Rivera’s history, artistic vision, and his enduring impact on the nation’s cultural identity. This location also witnessed the beginning of his complex and influential relationship with Frida Kahlo.
Throughout the route, participants will encounter significant spaces where art and memory converge—from the movement’s earliest murals to the renowned image of La Catrina, a global icon of the Day of the Dead. The tour also examines the historical context, techniques, and narratives behind works that combine social critique, aesthetic value, and tradition.

Honestly, this tour advertises what it does not do! It is written tiket for Bellas Artes Museum, National Palace and others that are not visited! So be careful with what you choose. Also 36€ seems to me really too much, advertising yourselves as FREE Tour even on your t-shirt! Otherwise my guide was prepared and could do the tour in two languages.... Estela was another bad thing about the organization.... I asked for it in Spanish but they were all English speakers.... They should lower the price because we didn't even see the theater....

Well, don’t schedule a tour during the Mexican Independence Day celebration. You will find that most of the places you we’re going to visit will be closed. Sadly, our tour was canceled.
