Fabulous!!!!!! - Emiliano gives a tour of the Mexican muralists that is absolutely outstanding. I would recommend this to anyone interested in Mexican art and history. His knowledge is vast and he is a very good teacher. He also understands and can explain the complexities of Mexican politics and relationships with other nations and the church.

Mural tour - This was an OUTSTANDING tour! We learned so much about the country’s history through murals and the artists who created them. The tour was interactive and our guide answered all our many questions. The buildings that housed the murals were equally impressive. If you can book a tour with Emiliano consider yourself lucky!
