Description

Your day begins in Coyoacán, meaning “place of coyotes” in Náhuatl. Your private guide will introduce you to the neighborhood’s history, colonial architecture, and cultural significance. Stroll its charming streets and, if you wish, enjoy a light breakfast at a local café (own expense). Next, choose your Frida Kahlo experience: the Blue House (Museo Frida Kahlo) to explore Frida’s birthplace, the house where she lived much of her life, and her artistic world. Or the Red House (Casa Kahlo Museum) to discover the newly opened museum dedicated to Frida’s life and legacy, with immersive exhibits and personal artifacts. The tour continues to Ciudad Universitaria, the main campus of UNAM, where you’ll admire murals by Juan O’Gorman and other stunning modernist architecture that showcase Mexico’s artistic heritage. Finally, arrive at Xochimilco, a UNESCO World Heritage site, to enjoy a ride on a traditional trajinera through its colorful canals. Discover its pre-Hispanic origins and take a moment to explore the local crafts market or try delicious street food along the way. This is the perfect tour for art lovers, culture enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a comprehensive sensory experience of Mexico City!
