“Balaam was a fantastic guide — both friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We visited several different sites, from the Education Ministry to the Palacio de las Bellas Artes and Almeida Park. I feel that Balaam tailored what we saw to what I said I was interested in. But at the same time his knowledge of the artistic motifs, the secrets in many of the paintings, and in particular the indigenous cultural and religious themes that had shaped Diego Rivera's work was really new to me. The murals themselves were really impressive and steeped in rich history. This is an unmissable tour if you come to Mexico City.”

Thanks Emiliano.”

I was worried it would be overwhelming to do both in one day, but Carlos made the experience feel like just the right balance. We never felt rushed or like we were missing out.

“What can I say about the day I had touring the fabulous historic district with Ricardo except that it was one of the best days I’ve had in my travels? Big statement, I know, but I stand by it. Ricardo’s passion for his city, its people history and art are so evident, and you can’t help but be swept up in it. He showed me “secret” spots for amazing views. He gave me insight into the what makes Mexico México. Our time together flew by. I would do a tour with Ricardo again in a heartbeat.”
