Terrific experience! - Emiliano was the best! He was passionate and knowledgeable and what was so unique was that he welcomed questions and conversation which made the tour seem really personal. When we got hungry he even brought us to his favorite tacos shop and showed us what to order. Then he went to buy our tickets at the palacio de Bella’s rates while we ate lunch. We could never have seen the murals in the same way without him! Great experience which will stay with us for a lifetime! We wish we could give him more than five stars!

A can't miss. Cathartic for those reeling from American politics - The absolute highlight of our trip. The detailed explanations of each mural added so much richness. And the parallels to our political problems today brought me literally to tears.

Must-See Murals - This tour was the highlight of our visit to Mexico City. Emiliano was so informative and engaging. The 3.5 hours flew by. Emiliano did a fantastic job of explaining the history, techniques, and symbolism of the murals, encouraging us to spot elements and themes along the way. I really wish we could have seen more with him!

Outstanding and a revelation in perspective! - Our murals tour with Emiliano was absolutely outstanding. His English was impeccable . He was extremely knowledgeable, provides excellent context, presented his material in a very relevant way and provided us with a fascinating perspective of Mexican history and murals art. It was so fascinating that even a three hour tour appeared short. I would take this and other tours with Emiliano again in a heartbeat.
