Explore Diego Rivera’s murals in Mexico City, from SEP’s mural collection to Bellas Artes and the Diego Rivera Mural Museum.
“The Diego Rivera Murals and Hidden Treasures excursion far exceeded my expectations mainly because of our highly knowledgeable and spirited guide Laila. Looking at Diego Rivera’s murals are impressive in and of themselves, but the histories and significances pointed out by Laila delivered a much more meaningful experience. I have seen other Diego Rivera works and collections. After this particular excursion, however, much of them now are woven together in a way that has completely enriched what I have learned about the life and art of Diego Rivera”

Review of Mexico City's private mural tour, with Bellas Artes, Diego Rivera, costs, guide quality, timing, and who will find it worthwhile.
“Our guide was very sweet & knowledgeable. My rating isn’t about her at all. It’s about the tour & what you get for the amount you pay. It’s not worth it. Go on your own. & honestly, it will be quicker. Two places only have 1 mural each & are free to get into (one being a restaurant). The third place is free to enter on Sundays, which is when we happened to go (or maybe it’s always free?). All within a block of each other. Any hotel you are staying at can give you these 3 places. I thought it was going to be more…”
