Fantastic mural tour - Sofia was an excellent tour guide with so much knowledge and passion about the murals. It felt so special to be shown the murals in the market. A location I most likely would not have ever seen on my own.

Sophia is awesome! - We initially signed up for the Coyoachan your with our wonderful tour guide Sophia. We loved out tour with her so much that we signed up for her Mural tour the next day. First of all, Sophia is so friendly, fun, kind and patient. She is very knowledgeable about Mexican history, art, culture and people. Her English is very good and very easy to understand. She was personable and very friendly and made several stops, tied together pieces of history. She even detailed pieces of history for another friend in our tour who arrived later in Mexico City to bring them up to speed. For this particular tour she provided great detail and insight into the art pieces and even helped us relocate specific ones we were interested in. Along the tour she answers questions thoroughly and goes out of her way to help us try the local foods and experiences. You can tell she loves Mexico City and the history and more importantly she loves her job! Thank you, Sophia.

Muralism Tour & Coyocan Tour was excellent-- Sofia is wonderful! - We did a bunch of tours with Estacion de Mexico and really enjoyed the Coyocan and Muralism tours. We learned a lot and saw many things we would never have found out by ourselves. I highly recommend doing any tour with Sofia!

Murals in downtown Mexico City - This was an amazing experience to see important murals and learn about socio-politico aspects of Mexico. Sofia is a fantastic guide with vast knowledge in mural artists and the movement they supported. It was fabulous and a great way to see different murals in the city center.

Not good - Our guide shared very little of the history and context of Mexican muralism. Unless we asked questions, we got little info. Nothing on why/how/when muralism began. Scant explanation of individual murals. We were very disappointed.
