Our experience - Our guide Tiare was very knowledgeable and explained things detail we would not have noticed. This made the tour educational and fun. Her knowledge of finite details of the murals was well worth the price of admission.

An Incredible Day at Palace de Bellas Artes - I had an excellent tour with Tiare, who was both charming and incredibly well-versed in the intricate details of each individual mural. Prior to the tour, she reached out personally to introduce herself and clarify the starting time and location. Once we entered the Palacio, she very patiently spent time going through the symbolism, context, back story, and history of each mural, taking care and attention to point out specific points in each of the murals. Tiare was wonderfully patient with me--despite my peppering her with questions 😆--and as a result, I feel as though I was able to get a much deeper, richer understanding of each of the works of art than I would have otherwise. I was so taken by the descriptions that I ended up buying a few reproductions from the museum gift shop, but there's no way I would have known any of that context without her. Highly, highly recommend--I wish she could be my tour guide for other parts of CDMX as well. Cinco estrellas--would definitely do this again and I would ask for her personally.

Isaac is a great tour guide - I went with Isaac, I was the only person on the tour and it was great. So insightful and it felt like looking at all the art with a friend. The information provided was so comprehensive and able to answer all of my questions. He also gave me lots of tips for other places to go. Highly recommend!

Fantastic murals in Palacio de Bellas Artes - WOW! What a grand space! El Palacio de Bellas Artes was one of the highlights of our stay in México City. Our guide to this gem was Tiare. She walked us through all the amazing murals in this space. Her words were so full of passion and pride that the paintings seemed to come to life in front of our eyes. These murals show the genious of the grand Mexican muralists of the first half of the 20th Century, Diego Rivera, Manuel Rodriguez Lozano and Sequieros among others. We had Tiare for ourselves as a private tour, but she commanded such confidence that people would gather around us to listen to her explanations. If you like art and murals this is a 100% must. Thank you Hector, Robert & Rosemary USA

Awesome tour with great historical and art context - We really enjoyed our tour of the Palacio de Bellas Artes! Our tour guide was Daniel, and he made the experience awesome. He knows a lot about the building itself and the beautiful pieces from famous Mexican muralists. The historical context and art analysis he provided was really cool and enriched the experience for us. We’d recommend to anyone considering!

Chapultepec Castle, Private Tour - We took a private tour for our group of 4 with Cynthia as our guide, and she was fantastic. We prefer private tours because they’re more personal, and Cynthia made the experience even better, she was incredibly knowledgeable and attentive. I thought I knew a lot about murals. We were to see, but she taught us so much more. Highly recommend this tour when visiting Bellas Artes!

Amazing tour of Museo Bellas Artes - Our guide, Yaan, is an art historian by training. He has a masterful grasp on Mexican mural art, which is what this museum is known for. By coincidence, there was an Impressionist exhibition at the museum and Yaan displayed a keen understanding of this art too. I highly recommend this tour!
