Our guide was very informative. Worth every penny and was the only way to get into this place at the time because it's in such high demand. Couldn't recommend more.
After attending a guided tour of the anthropology museum, this average / casual tour wasn’t as good. The tour guide was knowledgeable and opinionated but couldn’t even speak over the louder people in the group. I would say wander the property on your own if you can and don’t waste your money on the cocktail.. it was basic and not exciting.
Cinthya was a great tour guide! She was very knowledgeable and answered all of my questions, would highly recommend!
Great tour! Arturo was very knowledgeable and personable! We loved our time there and would recommend for anyone to do!
Must do. Our guide Omer was passionate professional and very knowledgable. The house of Frida Kahlo is a must see. Came away feeling overwhelmed.
Loved, loved this tour. So much history and Coyoacán is so quaint and beautiful. We would have loved staying longer. Our tour guide Maita was wonderful.
The tour was great, our guide Leonor was very informative and knowledgeable about the history of Frida and the Blue House.
Leonor was a great guide and knowledgeable about Frida Kahlo's life. Some people will complain about guides not accompanying the group into the inner rooms of Caza Azul but when you get there, you will realize how small and cramped the space is. Just pay attention to your guide and ask questions afterwards as needed. Our guide also helped us navigate entry into the museum, where we witnessed some people being turned away due to their tickets not scanning. Having a guide ensured we avoided these issues.
This was a wonderful experience with a guide (Vide) who was exceptionally knowledgeable and easy to get along with. Highly recommend
Valerie was an excellent guide who brought the Blue House to life. She is incredibly knowledgeable and we loved learning about Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera’s lives. Definitely book this tour. You won’t be disappointed.
Great tour with Cinthya! Having someone give you the background on Frida’s life beforehand really lends to the home tour.

Hello, thanks for your review, I really enjoyed the time that we share. My best regards for you and your family.
Excellent tour and guide. The place is great and we learned a lot. Skip the lines, and get in when sold out. Well worth it.
Arturo was a wonderful guide! He was fun, knowledgeable and was interested in helping us have a great experience.
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Glad to hear you enjoyed it Donna! Hope you had a nice trip - Arturo
It is amazing to walk through the intimacy of her home. The guide timed and paced the tour exceedingly well.
Really enjoyed this tour! Cinthya was a great guide and was very engaging and knowledge! There were 3 parts to the tour where she shared more information. She provided ample space for questions from the group. Would definitely recommend!

Hello, thanks for your review, was pleasure that time that we share. My best regards for you and your family
Great explanations and the stories of Frida Khalos life. She was very friendly, knowledgeable and informative. 10/10 recommend
Response from Host, Oct 2026
Hola, muchas gracias por el review, me alegra saber que due una experiencia grata.
Cinthya
Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable on the history of Mexico, and of course, the history of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera
Our guide Cynthia was enthusiastic, informative and entertaining. We enjoyed her interpretation of how Kahlo’s misfortunes made her a great artist.
However, be warned the amount of time with your “personal” guide is limited. Cynthia gave an overview before we entered Casa Azul, and then chats after seeing the original building and again at the end of our visit. Apparently, it’s museum policy not to allow guides in the exhibit areas and many of the exhibit explanations are in Spanish only. The Viator tour also included tickets to the Anahuacalli museum, which we later learned are included in every Casa Azul ticket purchase. Transportation to Anahuacalli is not included in the Viator tour, and it’s a 20-minute Uber ride away. Your guide does not accompany you to this museum. Tickets from the museum site sell out weeks in advance, so Viator got us into Casa Azul on fairly late notice. Be aware the museum charges CDN$25 per person for tickets for both museums; Viator charged us $118/person. We were happy enough with the tour but it pays to reserve through the museum web site early … and do some research on Frida and Diego before you go.

Hello, thnaks for your review, I really enjoyed the time that we share. My best regards for you and your family.
I went in to the museum knowing quite a bit of Frida and was excited to go see what was once her home. Booking a tour, and experiencing the tour with Romi was such a great experience! He was so knowledgeable and was able to answer any and all questions I had. I recommend the tour to anyone and everyone
We began in the Trotsky home with the super knowledgeable Hector as our guide. His enthusiasm and energy were wonderful. We are history enthusiasts. Hector answered all of our questions brilliantly whether directly about Trotsky or something else.
Then we visited La Casa Azul with Arturo who was just as enthusiastic and knowledgeable. Two amazing guides who complimented each other and made our visit to these two homes and to CDMX great.
The contrast between the two homes is wonderful and on our walk from one to another we stopped at a cafe for a fresh juice.
Book this tour and visit these spots with the background that makes them come alive.

Thank you very much, Consuelo!!! It was great to meet you and your wonderful husband. Best regards.
Did not disappoint, you actually could feel the vibe of Frida as she lived, worked and played. Our guide Omar was a very unique fan of Frida and more than willing to share his compassion with us. Thank you such much for a great afternoon.

Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks it was an awesome tour, hope to see you back in Mexico City!
Guide was great. He knew what he was talking about and had a lot of facts I didn’t know. I loved walking around the neighborhood. Great tour.
Omar was very knowledgeable and personable. We started off with a small group tour of the Frida Kahlo museum and then afterwards peeled off for what ended up being a private tour of the Leon Trotsky Museum. Highly recommend.
Communication from the booking until and leading up to the tour was effortless and pleasant. Our guide Maite was instrumental in creating our wonderful experience, she was inquisitive and made us think. She was a wealth of knowledge and exquisite guide we will be back. Wishing her all the luck on her acting endeavors.

Response from Host, Aug 2026
Hello, thank you so much for your kind words. I'm glad you had a great time.
Maite was our guide. She was very knowledgeable and brought to life the story of Frida and Diego. We enjoyed having a private guide before entering the exhibit. We also had coffee at a very cute place near the Casa Azul and got to speak to learn more about Mexico with Maite.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
