Emiliano did an absolutely fantastic job showing us some of the great murals of Mexico City and explaining their artistic and cultural importance. Mural artists have played an important part in the life and history of Mexico, and Emiliano brought it all to life.

Terrific, informative tour of historic center CDMX murals. Our guide, Emiliano, was excellent - very knowledgeable and engaging. He took time to answer questions thoughtfully and made a point of sharing a variety of perspectives when interpreting and describing the murals. Great value and highly recommend this tour!

Spent an afternoon with Emiliano learning about the relationship of murals and muralists to Mexican history. The sites and murals we visited were iconic. Emiliano was passionate about the subject and patient with us, giving us a brief overview of Mexican history as we launched into our tour. My wife and I are frequent travelers; this was one of the best tours we have ever experienced. Thank you Emiliano!

Emiliano is an extraordinary tour guide. Seriously--take any tour he is leading. The mural tour is a highlight for both art lovers and those interested in history.

Emiliano was so informative and fun! My 15 year old said, "I would enjoy art museums more if they were like this!" Specifically, we talked about the historical background, the Mexican ethos, and artistic significance. Not all the murals are on view currently, due to circumstances outside the control of the tour operators, but we definitely got our money's worth, and more. Highly recommend.

Emiliano, our guide, provided a truly in-depth look at the murals of Rivera, Siqueiros, and Orozco, bringing to life their historical context as well as providing interpretations of the symbolism of the paintings. He also pointed out specific artistic techniques of the three artists, including contrasts between them. Emiliano was very congenial and friendly, and connected well with our five group members. He was deeply knowledgeable and thoughtful in his commentary. We got a great deal out of the tour, in very large part because of his insightful and spirited presentation. Nancy and Ben

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 tour by Stefan who shares the history of where he grew up with a passion that brings it to life

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.
