Overview

Get close to modern Mexico with the most significant expression of art of the 20th century: Mexican Muralism. It is a form of art available to everyone that that defined the identity of Mexico after the Mexican Revolution, and during most of last century. It provided an opportunity to educate and inform the people with messages of cultural identity, politics and progress.

"The artist must paint as he would speak. I don't want people to speculate what I mean; I want them to understand." – Siqueiros

Visit three different museums, including the Muralist Museum inside Palacio de Bellas Artes, in a 3+ hours walking tour. Along with your guide, you will understand Mexican history through the work of some of the most important artist of modern Mexico.

Great tour!

It was worth the price; the guide was super friendly and knowledgeable about everything we looked at.
Great tour with Emiliano
Lesley_B, 17-12-2022
Emiliano was an extremely knowledgeable guide who was very patient with our late arrival due to crazy traffic and whose enthusiasm for the murals at San Ildefonso in particular was clear and contagious. We highly recommend him.
DO THIS TOUR
Ellapt330, 30-11-2022
This tour was excellent - cannot recommend highly enough! Emiliano was super friendly and thoughtful, and shared so much information and context about the murals. Beyond that, he also prompted dialogue about what I saw and different artistic interpretations of the images, as well as sharing other information about the city/sites we saw along the way. And, he was also so generous with his time, taking the time to really explain what we were seeing without seeming rushed or strictly keeping to the clock. Seriously, do this tour! It is the best thing I've done in CDMX so far.
Adaptable Emiliano

Emiliano was a very knowledgeable, patient and interesting guide. He was able to adapt our tour around multiple site closings due to protests. He showed us some really interesting murals and sites, and gave us tons of history and background information on them. It was so valuable to help me understand what i was looking at. Super fun and helpful!
Excellent walking tour!

Our tour Leader Emanulelo with Mexico a pie was excellent. Since may of the buildings were closed because of the Manifestation protests, he had to adapt the mural walking tour. We did see some very interesting murals and learned a lot about the muralists’ political and social ideologies as well as the symbolism in their murals.
