    Great tour and a way to view Mexican history through the lense of muralism. On top of that, Warrior, my guide, was incredibly lovely and great company to spend a few hours with. I had to end my tour early as I had travels plans, and Warrior was extremely accommodating and adapted the tour to suit this timing.

    The Education Building! Amazing! Everybody should spend an hour or so enjoying the murals here and the stories behind them!

    The Mexican Muralism tour was fantastic! Alex Brian was our tour guide and he was so knowledgeable of all the art - the history as well as the techniques used to create and restore them. I came in with some background about the muralists but my husband had very little knowledge about the murals, both of us learned so much on this tour! Highly recommend.

    Alex Brian was the best possible tour guide for mural arts. He's an expert on art history, Mexican history and restoration. I'm an experienced art educator and muralist and I learned A LOT. I would recommend this tour to all my friends and colleagues.

    The murals are best seen with a guide like Marco. He explained them in detail. We went to places I wouldn’t have known to go to without a local showing me. He is so passionate about Mexico City, it’s cultures, and history. He has a vast amount of knowledge about a wide variety of topics. I actually thought that he was a professor of art history! He took us into nooks and cranny’s of the city that I would not have gone to by myself and was very comfortable and protective of our little group in crowded areas.He felt like a friend! He called the group “friends” whenever he spoke to us. He should be the spokesman for the company.

    Fue un tour entretenido y lleno de información sobre los diferentes artistas que han contribuido al moralismo mexicano. Javier es un gran guía: muy alegre y simpático.

    Une très belle excursion avec Ulysse, alias Warrior, le guide très sympathique de Estacion Mexico. C’est une excellente de plonger dans l’histoire récente du Mexique avec les superbes fresques de Diego Rivera. Ulysse nous mène vers des oeuvres qui se trouvent notamment dans des lieux publics (marchés et autres) et nous plonge dans la vie énergisante de la ville de Mexico. Je recommande chaudement.
