“Natalia was the perfect tour guide for Coyoacán, and the tour was even better than we expected based on the other glowing reviews. She shares her deep knowledge of the history of the area and brings her expertise as an anthropologist, providing context that we wouldn't have been able to get on our own. I appreciated that she did not spend much time on Frida Kahlo; although Friday is a large, important presence Coyoacán has much more history.”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
