“I had such a wonderful time today on the tour of UNAM, Xochimilco, Coyoacán, and the Frida Kahlo Museum with our guides Alex and Fernanda. In particular, Alex, who led the English portion of the tour, was outstanding. As a UNAM graduate himself, he explained everything with clear logic and in simple English, making it easy to follow even though English is not my native language. Thanks to him, I was able to truly understand the stories behind Mexico and its key historical figures. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to experience the rich history and art of Mexico City!Read more”

“The museum was great however we kept getting asked to move to the back of the line even though the ticket stated to get there 15 minutes before. Our booking was at 12:30, so we got to the front of the queue at 12:26 the second time round. The lady with glasses (sadly forgot to take her name) said ‘you’re 4 minutes early, go to the back of the line’. Everyone else got to go through apart from my family (a group of visible Muslims) and a Black family. The 12:45 people got to be ahead of us also and we were booked for 12:30. We felt a sense of…”

We started the day at UNAM, or the University City, where we saw the famous university library (see photos) and the Olympic stadium adorned with Rivera artwork. From there, we drove to Xochimilco and spent an hour lazily cruising the canals in a trajinera (see photo),…”
