Overview of your Mexico City tour

The stone-paved streets, the wood-carved doors, the trees covered by flowers and the floating gardens. make from the neighbourhoods of Coyoacan and Xochimilco a living painting. Coyoacan has been also the major cradle of Mexican muralism and painting, with great masters like Diego Rivera, Juan O'Gorman and of course, Frida Kahlo, who had their own workshops and houses in this iconic place. Surrounded by colonial-style buildings, palaces and churches. This neighbourhood seems to be full apart from the urban context and chaos of the city, its artistry markets, nostalgic cafeterias and traditional restaurants will wonder yourself. Xochimilco otherwise, is the place where traditions from our ancestors and the Mexican vibe for FIESTA get together. Sailing through its streams on a Trajinera covered in flowers, going through its green chinampas, listening to live Mariachi heart-moving songs, while having a tequila or mezcal and sharing with AMIGOS authentic Mexican food. Make this experience a unique dream.

Julio is an amazing tour guide, He is remarkably knowledgeable about Mexican history, culture, art and architecture but also makes the tour fun. We laughed all day. Julio was also very flexible pivoting to shorten one museum visit so that we could include a second museum visit to fit our interests. It was a very enjoyable and educational day. I cannot recommend Julio highly enough.

If you’re looking for an incredible tour of Coyoacán and Xochimilco,Julio is the perfect choice! His deep knowledge and engaging storytelling made history come alive. In Xochimilco, we enjoyed a vibrant trajinera boat ride through the canals, experiencing local traditions and music. Then, In Coyoacán, we explored charming cobblestone streets, visited Frida Kahlo’s Casa Azul, and learned fascinating details about the area’s rich history. His insights into culture, art, and daily life made the tour truly immersive. We started with a guide and left feeling we made a friend!

Julio was wonderful in showing us around Xochimilco and Coyoacan. He is exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate about the history and culture of Mexico. Julio is highly energetic and our two teenage children were highly engaged throughout the tour. Lots of fun and we all learned a great deal from him.

Julio was an incredible guide, our favorite out of all our time in Mexico. He was kind enough to customize a tour for us and made sure to pick us up from our hotel and drop us off at the airport for a late afternoon flight. Julio is kind, funny, and great to chat with. His knowledge of Mexico City is endless and he did such a fantastic job at sharing his Mexican history, culture, food, and art with us. HIGHLY recommend!!

We loved seeing two distinct neighborhoods: Xochimilco (via a lovely boat ride) and Coyoacan. Julio gave us a great tour through the Kahlo museum and the highlights of both neighborhoods. His English was terrific, he was extremely personable and knowledgeable, and a pleasure to be with.
