8 Diego Rivera Mural Tours to Build a Day Around

1.Xochimilco, Coyoacan, Frida Kahlo Museum & Murals Tour

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

Spend 10 hours with bilingual guides such as Alex, Rodrigo, or Leonardo exploring Coyoacán, Casa Azul, UNAM’s murals, and Xochimilco. Choose the Frida Kahlo Museum and lunch options carefully, since the cheapest fare includes neither.

“This was a great tour with Leo & Alan they both handled the large group very well and were timely and interactive without being too much. They were both very knowledgeable. I traveled with 3 adults, 1 preteen, 1 teen, and an infant. We booked the full experience tour and it was extremely accomodating to all of us. It's a good tour if you want to hit a few spots but I'll add if you want a full experience on the Trajineras I would look for a different tour because this one felt short and a bit rushed. I definitely recommend getting the tour with the Frida Kahlo tickets included…”

8.Xochimilco floating gardens, Coyoacan and UNAM murals

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 53 reviews · 6 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $49

Spend 6 to 8 hours visiting Coyoacan, Casa Azul when tickets are available, UNAM’s murals, and Xochimilco’s canals. Hotel pickup, transport, admission fees, and a trajinera ride are included. The small-group tour runs in English, though bilingual guiding and traffic can affect the pace.

“The tour says 6 hrs but it was 9 hrs because of traffic. Traffic is an issue everyday so they should let tourist know that most of the time will be spent in the car : we spent 4 hrs touring the places and 5 hrs in the shuttle. Our tour guide was unpleasant in nature. . She was grumpy, on her phone most of the time, and was not engaging. We could of done without the “guide” and had a better experience. I would not recommend.”
