CDMX: Xochimilco, Coyoacan, Frida Kahlo Museum & Murals Tour - The craft cooperative stop

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 3,025 reviews · from $89Our pick

See Coyoacán, Frida Kahlo’s Casa Azul, UNAM murals, and Xochimilco by trajinera on a well-priced 10-hour Mexico City tour.

“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’.
