Jorge Explains Genius - We met Jorge in the mural section of the Bellas Artes. What a wonderful eye opener to the genius of these artists. Jorge brought the art alive with his animated discussion of the time period, politics and lives of these muralists. Many thanks Jorge for making our visit so incredible!

The Best Tours of CDMX - Of the 3 tours I did in CDMX, this tour was the best by a large margin. The guillas are very intelligent young people. If you are a curious person with many questions, stop searching because this is the right tour for you. Economical, friendly, and detailed. Thanks Diego!

Great tour experience! - My sister and I had Diego as our tour guide and he was amazing! He accompanied us to the archeology museum, the Castillo, the Diego Rivera museum and Belle d’Artes, and he was extremely professional and so knowledgeable. He answered all of our questions and made our visit to Mexico City much more interesting and informative, not to mention how nice he was to spend time with. I would highly recommend this tour company and am so glad we had Diego to take us to all the great sites! He was top notch!
