“It all went v smoothly. Of course, what we were paying for was the fact that we hadn’t booked tickets directly through the museum in advance and so had to go through a third party. The digital pdf guide was fine but all the info was the same as what was on the museum placards. That said, it was all v easy and we were super pleased to be able to go! It’s a must see and was a bucket list thing for us that didn’t disappoint! We also appreciated that there was contact in the morning to ensure assistance if any was needed, though we didn’t need any.Read more”

“We enjoyed the stops... it was just too much and too long for one day. After booking, we were told the Frida Kahlo museum was not actually available that day. Instead we went to the Diego Rivera studio, which was actually quite interesting (and we isited Casa Azul another day on our own). Our guide was very knowledgable, but gave far, far too much detail in some cases, particularly at the University Library, making the tour much longer and slower than necessary. We also felt pressured to get food in Coyoacan in the late afternoon at end of the tour, which was much later than indicated on the itinerary, throwing…”
