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

Review of a Mexico City tour combining Coyoacán, Frida Kahlo’s Casa Azul, UNAM murals, and a festive Xochimilco trajinera ride.

“The tour guide NEVER showed up at the hotel on Sunday morning ( May 29th.) I had paid to go to the Frida Khalo Casa Azul, Coyoacán, and Xochimilco. After paying in advance, the agency sent me an email on Saturday at 1:30 AM saying that there were not available tickets to see Casa Azul.

When I called the tour agency on Sunday at 9:15 a.m, I was told that they didn’t check emails or messages on the weekends. Basically, they ignored my payment and reservation. It is unprofessional…”

Review of Mexico City’s city tour and Xochimilco boat ride, with practical advice on sights, guides, value, timing, and what to expect.

“This all-day group tour with lunch was worthwhile. Pick-up at the meeting point— Fiesta Americana Reforma was on time.

Our tour team (driver Ricardo & guide Alan) were the consummate professionals. Being multi-lingual, Alan did a great job toggling from English to Español and the guests on this tour received his vast knowledge and funny disposition very well.

4.Frida Kahlo and Floating Gardens Tour with Transportation

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 8 reviews · 6 to 8 hours (approx.)

Explore Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, UNAM murals, and Xochimilco on a private Mexico City tour with hotel pickup.

“Please note that tickets for the Frida Kahlo Blue House Museum are not included in this tour. I'll clearly communicate this detail to clients, as securing tickets can be challenging due to high demand—the museum often books up weeks in advance. Additionally, when offering alternative tour options, it will be helpful to provide more accurate estimated travel times, which can be extensive in Mexico City, especially when traveling with children.”
