Reviews
“Highly recommended!”
In preparation for our visit to Mexico City last week, my husband found this tour concentrating on Frido Kahlo and Diego Rivera. Our guide, Roberto was charming and INCREDIBLY well versed about Frido Kahlo, Diego Rivera as well as the wonderful Mexican art scene and how it was effected by Mexico's fascinating history. The indigenous sculptures which Frida and Diego collected were fascinating and Roberto educated us about their meaning, etc. We highly recommend Roberto as a guide and believe there are very few topics that he couldn't discuss superbly! Thank you Roberto for making our brief visit to Mexico City fun, interesting and educational!

MEETING FRIDA AND DIEGO
Love and hate are combined in a romance full of distances and reconciliations, an unstable love but one that would unite them for eternity.
