Xochimilco, Coyoacan, Frida Kahlo Museum & Murals Tour

Dare to live the tour to Xochimilco, Coyoacan & Frida Kahlo Museum

Dare to live one of our most colorful tours! During the tour you will not only visit the famous “Blue House”, but you will also get to know the majestic architecture of the National Autonomous University of Mexico, the picturesque landscapes of downtown Coyoacán and the colors of Xochimilco, “Place of flowers”.

Our first stop will be a silver carving workshop, where a local family will share their passion for this tradition and art form, allowing us to admire and purchase some souvenirs. After that, we will go to Coyoacán, whose name in Nahuatl means “place of coyotes”. Here, our local guide will provide a brief explanation of the origin and significance of this neighborhood and its surroundings. You will also have the opportunity to walk through its streets and, if desired, enjoy a light breakfast (at your own expense).

Explore the Best of Mexico City’s Culture, and Art

Next, you will visit the house-museum of Frida Kahlo, or the “Blue House“, where you will learn about the intense relationship between Frida, her works and her home, where she was born, and also where she died. It will be an experience full of stimuli!

Although after marrying Diego Rivera she lived in different places in Mexico City and abroad, she always returned to her old house in Coyoacán. The trip continues to University City, where our local guide will explain the murals at the Rector’s Office and the Central Library on the main campus of the National University. More than 110 murals of different sizes and shapes will amaze you with their way of telling the story of Mexico!

Our last stop is one of Frida Kahlo’s favorite places, Xochimilco. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to sample Mexican cuisine at a local restaurant with an exquisite meal (only included in the price if you select this option). Afterward, you’ll not only learn about its origins, which date back to pre-Hispanic times, but you’ll also enjoy a ride on a trajinera, a traditional local boat.

You’ll have a unique experience and learn key points in the history of an entire country from our local guide!
