3.Walking Tour – Impressive murals in Historical Center of Mexico City

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 224 reviews · 1 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $51

Walk through Mexico City’s mural tradition with an English-speaking guide such as Balaam or Miguel. See Rivera’s first mural at San Ildefonso, vast courtyard paintings at the Education Ministry, and major works at Bellas Artes, with a Tuesday substitute when needed.

“Basam gave a great tour - he went over more politics and history than we had expected but it was a great background for the rest of the stops on our CDMX trip. We learned about Diego Riviera’s political stances and he was able to break down individual murals and show us what certain symbols, or people, or ideas represented. We also saw a few other murals by different artists that were relevant during that time period. Overall, great tour - lots of walking but worthwhile!”
