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.

Emiliano was an exceptional guide and there was no better way to understand CDMX and its culture than by walking through it. My daughter and I felt it was very manageable and Emiliano was good about checking in and taking breaks for water and bathrooms as needed. Do not miss seeing these stunning murals — especially with someone as knowledgeable and connected to the art as Emiliano.

If you have to take one tour in Mexico City this one should be it. Emiliano is an amazing guide who knows the subject inside out and shared his wealth of knowledge on the major muralists in perfect English, regaling us with a lot of historical background and lots of snippets which helped us understand the muralist movement and its origin in Mexican culture. The tour started at the Ildefonso College with the monumental Orozco murals, then we moved on to the Palacio de Bellas Artes with its iconic murals and finished at the Diego Rivera Museum and its wall to wall stunning mural, a great way to finish the four hour tour. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Emiliano was my guide and he was fantastic! Very knowledgeable about the murals and their history. He made sure we got all of the information and a full experience. I learned about the history of Mexico (the quick version) and about the painting styles of the muralists. We had people in our group who were dealing with health issues and he handled them tactfully and respectfully. Highly recommend Thai tour!

Emiliano was an excellent guide, and we saw many things in the murals that we wouldn’t have noticed on our own. He also provided historical information to help give context and further meaning to the murals. An excellent tour and time well spent.

This was one of the most enjoyable tours we have ever done. We could have gone by ourselves but would not have gain a fraction of insight to the meaning of the murals without Emiliano. He is a fantastic guide. Enthusiastic, extremely knowledgeable and and expert in his field. It was welll paced and thoroughly enjoyable. If seeing the fantastic murals and learning about the political history Mexico, we would recommend you put this tour very high on your list.

Great, informative tour led by Emiliano. He had great information to share! The only comment would be to start the tour promptly at the first location, (in this case, the Colegio de Ildefonso), versus Santa Domingo hotel, more than 15 minutes away. This made the tour a bit rushed.
