Reviews
This is an amazing tour and absolutely worth doing. Our guide Rodrigo was the best tour guide we have had in years!! The experience was made 100% better by having him as our guide. He explained everything in Spanish and English - he is warm, friendly, patient and service orientated. The day is a great day out - we are from Australia (long way to travel) so suggest you pay attention when booking as the Frida Kahlo tickets are an add on and it is likely you need to book weeks in advance. We had a great day and it was the perfect balance of history, fun, food and sight seeing. As with anything in Mexico, be mindful the tour might not finish on time so don't book anything important that evening. We are so grateful we toured with Rodrigo and Oscar our amazing bus driver.
the trip was honestly SO fun! Coyoacán and Xochimilco are the highlights of the trip. the only thing I wish could be better is to spend a bit longer time on the boat tour - it’s only about an hour. the tour guides Salvador & Mario are super helpful and they provided a lot of insights into Mexico culture and history during our bus rides. the last thing to note is that the traffic in CDMX is really bad, so the return time is quite late (we got back around 7:30 pm)
services is consistent & outstanding, Carlos and Antonio (driver) are respectful, and think ahead to ensure the well-being of the travelers. highly recommend.
the pickup and trip was smooth. guide was friendly and energetic. we had enough time to walk around
Pickup was on time, and the tour guide was enthusiastic. on the boat ride, it was a bit commercial with vendors selling food and services.
For those of us who don't have tickets to the Frida Museum, they leave you with free time without suggesting options. Luckily, a guide from another tour suggested I go to the Casa Kahlo Museum. They should give that option.
The tour started and ended in time with a clean big tour bus so we had plenty of room. We had frequent breaks and lots of fun activities throughout the day! Alex and Alvaro were super knowledgeable about the history of Mexico! Highly recommended tour!!
And incredibly well-planned tour that allowed us to cover so many things in a just under a day. The tour guide was very knowledgeable about the history of the university and its murals. Lunch was also very yummy and exclusive. Frida Kahlo entry was really easy with the skip the queue privilege. The boat ride was lovely and we managed to get 2 songs from the Mariachi but it was also we had some generous tour mates who didn't mind forking out the money. If you're on a budget, you can bring your own snacks and drinks onto the boat ride!
super fun and i will do this again once im back and i will recommend this to my followers like is this tagalog
The first stop of the trip is 20 minutes in a tourist scam shop of overpriced jewelry. Lunch is an additional $20, so I would recommend just eating in Coyoacán market. Reserve at least 3 days in advance to be able to get Freida tickets.
Good to know
- IMPORTANT: Please note that the Casa Kahlo Museum is not the same as the Frida Kahlo Museum (La Casa Azul). The Casa Kahlo Museum is a new exhibition space, not the artist’s former home. By visiting this museum, you will have the opportunity to explore some of Frida Kahlo’s personal belongings, as well as previously unseen artworks related to her life and legacy. However, this tour does not include entry to the original Frida Kahlo Museum (Blue House).
