“CDMX City Center”
Everything was great. Roberto gave a very detailed history of Mexico and Mexico City through the eyes of several famous muralists. We also saw important cultural/historical centers like the cathedral and the Aztec temple. We never felt rushed and he gave us plenty of time to ask questions and learn. Great experience!

“Castle and anthropology museum tour ”
We had the privilege of having a tour of the castle and the anthropology museum with Roberto G. What a treat! Roberto is educated in so many fields and brought with him a wealth of knowledge about Mexican history, Art, Society, and so much more. We could’ve listened to him for hours, and we didn’t want to say goodbye when it was over. I cannot recommend him highly enough. If you are lucky enough to have a tour with Roberto you will learn about Mexico and Mexican history and be grateful for his time and knowledge. Karen

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. Passionate and tender, a relationship born on August 21, 1929, and marked by a carefree love overflowing with passion. that transcends time and space. Join me to uncover this intimacy, as we travel between streets, bricks and walls, brushes, and colored canvases so full and yet sometimes so empty.
