Frida Kahlo house

Nina_S, May 2023

Seeing the home movies of Frida y Diego. Seeing the art Frida created and collected. Learning that she could speak and read many languages. Also thinking about her ability to make art during her lifetime of extreme physical pain.

Waste of time and money

muthoandfour, Feb 2023

Hotel pick up 815AM. Drove around picking up people until 1030AM at a tourist shop. It would be better to take an uber and meet then at 10am at the tourist shop and sleep more. Or better yet skip entire tour and take the cheap ubur or hop on hop off bus and spend more time touring then in a van picking up other tourists!! Waste of time. No time was given to us see coyoacan town because while half group was seeing this cute town, we booked the frida kahlo museum and so both were at same time, had to pick one or other Unam murals were a 20 minute stop on way to the one hour boat ride. You can buy food for 250 pesos optional. We did not take their van back at 430pm because we wanted to see coyoacan and took a cheap ubur directly back to or hotel 30 mins instead of wasting 2+ hours like we did in the morning. This tour is waste of $$ and of time.

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Hello We are sorry that you had a bad experience, unfortunately, as shared tours, there can be a lot of pick-ups :( we are sorry about what happened We will verify this situation so it won't happen again. Thank you for your comments. All best

Not as advertised, Avoid this tour.

Peter_Y, Aug 2022

The tour was advertised as Xochimilco, Frida Kahlo Museum, and UNAM murals from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. As soon as we got going, the guide said the tour would end at 5 or 6 p.m. The first stop was an unannounced, but obviously planned, visit to a silver store with other tour groups. After the UNAM stop, we made another unannounced stop, this time at the Azteca Stadium. We abandoned the tour soon after that because it was not what was promised.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Hello Peter, We are very sorry you had a bad experience, unfortunately as a shared service the logistics may vary, as for the Museum we are constantly subjected to availability due to high season demand. Due to this issues a partial reimbursement was made to you. We really appreciate your comments and we will update the tour description to avoid this in the future. Kind Regards

Pretty good tour lasts half the day

renapatel86, Jun 2022

Xochilmilco was a lot of fun though the cost of food is not included in the cost of the tour you can purchase a meal on the boat for $12 includes tons of food. Beers and sodas are available on the boat for 30/40 pesos and you can purchase drinks on passing boats. Mariachis are also available 150 pesos per song. You can pay with US dollars as well. Frida Kahlos house was very nice there are clean bathrooms and coffee shop there. I would have liked the tour guide to go through with us but it's fine.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Hello Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us and all your recommendations for future clients! Im sorry, the guide couldn't join you in the museum but unfortunately, Frida Kahlo museum does not allow guides inside. Hope to see you back soon! Muchas gracias!

No thanks

Varina_R, Jun 2022

The tour says 6 hrs but it was 9 hrs because of traffic. Traffic is an issue everyday so they should let tourist know that most of the time will be spent in the car : we spent 4 hrs touring the places and 5 hrs in the shuttle. Our tour guide was unpleasant in nature. . She was grumpy, on her phone most of the time, and was not engaging. We could of done without the “guide” and had a better experience. I would not recommend.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Dear Vania_R We are sorry that you had a bad experience! We will verify this situation so it won't happen again unfortunately sometimes the traffic is madness in the city :( I will speak with the guide on your tour to verify this situation, this is unacceptable, thank you for your comments, and sorry again for what happened. All best

Unprofessional Travel Agency

Rodo, May 2022

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. On Saturday morning, I sent three messages stating that I would take the tour without going to the Frida Khalo museum. 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 group of people running a “tour agency” without having communicating skills. If the “agency” is going to cancel the tour, they should let the tourists know in advance, so other plans can be made. I could have booked a more reliable tour and avoided a headache.

Response from Host, May 2022

Dear Rodo, We are sorry that you had a bad experience, in the "Information travelers need from you" section we inform you that tickets to the Frida museum are subject to availability, we apologize for the misunderstanding and lack of communication on our part, the 100% refund on our side has been made. We will verify this situation so it won't happen again. Thank you for your comments, and sorry again for what happened.

A great way to start you Mexico City visit with history and some fun included!

Kendall_J, Apr 2022

The tour was a small group with a very good driver and Ursula our guide was excellent. She handled the tour well with both Spanish and English. Although a shorter 6 hour tour it was in rushed with time for lunch on our own. We highly recommend this tour!

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Hello Kendall_J, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us! I'm very happy you had a great time with us, for sure I will share your comments with Ursula!! Thank you so much and hope to see you back soon!

A good day but rushed experience.

Darren_W, Feb 2022

It is a good opportunity to see parts of Mexico City. The boat ride is a fun experience and the Frida Khalo Museum inspiring. If you do visit the museum you miss out on seeing Coyoacan. However, the day is rushed following a whole morning of being take to craft markets and souvenir places. These are good places to pick up some gifts. The guide was knowledgeable and narrated the trip well.

Response from Host, Feb 2022

Hi Darren_W, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave your comments, I'm so happy you enjoyed this day with us! Thank you for sharing your experience with us! Hope to see you soon All best We hope to see you back soon All best

Very disappointing. We saw half of the things mentioned in the tour description. Spent almost all day in a car

Luca_S, Feb 2022

This tour was very disappointing. The guide picked us up at 8:30 and until 12:30 we have been in the van. We have only stopped at a tacky souvenir shop and in front of the 2 stadiums for 5 minutes to take a photo of them from outside. We didn't see the university nor the murals. The boat trip was nice, but the guide made us feel guilty at the end saying that the guy driving the boat doesn't get paid and pushed us for leaving him a tip. We barely saw coyacan and got immediately dragged to a churro place. When we finally got to Frida's house, we were expecting the guide to come with us to explain us about Frida's life and so on, but he waited in the van instead. The tour description was also saying that we were able to visit Trotski house if we wanted to (at our own expenses). I asked the tour guide about 3 times and they said it wasn't possible and he didn't know why it was mentioned in the tour description. I chose this tour appositely because of it. I wanted to see both Frida and Trotski houses and ended up spending a whole day in a van. I will have to go back tomorrow even if we had other plans for our last day in CDMX. We would like to get a refund as we saw half of the things mentioned in the tour description and basically spent all day in the van. Also, we chose this tour appositely because of the possibility to see Trotski house and the guide denied us the possibility to go saying they didn't know why it was mentioned in the description.

Response from Host, Feb 2022

Hello Luca, thank you for your comments, verifying what happened, I want you to know the day of your tour there was a vaccination meeting point on the way to Xochimilco, due to this there was a lot of traffic (something that is out of our control), referring to the times in each place you can find them on our itinerary: University City 20 min panoramic view, Coyoacán 35 min, Azteca stadium panoramic view. Unfortunately, the Frida Kahlo museum does not allow our guides to give the visit. In the description, it is mentioned that if you wish on your own you can visit the Anahuacalli Museum (not Trotsky) unfortunately due to the logistics of that day there was not enough time for you to arrive on time to the other museum before it closes, since it is almost 1 hour away on foot, and the transfer was not included. We are sorry for the inconvenience and we appreciate your comments as they help us to improve and be better.

A great day tour in Mexico City

Phil_W, Feb 2022

Loved the boat ride on the Xochimilco and home of Frida Khalo. Our guide, Enrique, was knowledgeable and our driver, very patient considering the traffic.

Good tour but...

tracy_d, Nov 2021

Interesting sites, however, the driver was texting while driving and the guide smelled of alcohol at 8:30 in the morning. He was not a great guide to say the least.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Hello Tracy:_D, thank you for leaving us your comments if you can remember the name of the driver it will very helpful so we can take action, I know it has been a while but I really appreciate it, However, I will inform the manager about this, because this kind of behavior is unacceptable, and your safety is very important to us! Thank you and I'm really sorry

Great!

Alvaro_G, Nov 2021

Our tour guide, Carlos, was amazing. The driver was great. His knowledge and overall attitude. Great

Tour advertised incorrectly

Aya_O, Oct 2021

Guide & driver were kind, but tour is not advertised correctly and there was very little information or history shared. Also need more time spent outside van - morning felt wasted going to a souvenir market for almost an hour which was not advertised, and the little information about stops given to us was told to us from front of van when we could’ve just stepped outside and walked around. The morning time could’ve been spent more in coyoacan. The hour+ drive to the floating gardens was in complete silence, the guide had no history to share, points of interest, etc. Almost missed our stop at casa azul (self-guided) because tour guide had misinformation from company. Floating gardens was the highlight of this day trip but this part also didn’t feel like a tour - no history or background info was given to us. The driver did their best but this tour itinerary should be restructured and talking point materials should be supplied to guide in both English and Spanish. Lastly, the tour guide rarely had his face mask on inside the bus which is a real risk.

I could have done without...

Samantha_M, Oct 2021

I could have done without the murals and gone straight to Xochilmo and then Casa Azul. There was a little confusion about entrance tickets to Casa Azul. Other than that, we had a great time.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Hello Samantha, thank you for your comments and sorry for the confusion in Frida Museum. I will ask the guide to explain the process on this part. Thank you! All best

Do not recommend using

Neema_T, Sep 2021

They kept taking us to all these places that were not listed as part of the tour and "what to expect." For example, we stopped at a couple stadiums for some reason. Most of our time was spent on the tour van which just made the day more tiring. The best parts of the trip were the random street food (found at the silver shop at yet another unnecessary stop) and xochimilco which felt way too quick. When we got to coyacan, the guide wouldn't let us stop where we wanted to and made us go to a churro place. We finally got annoyed and told him that we're going to a coffee shop with or without him. We opted out of the Frida Kahlo Museum.

Response from Host, Oct 2021

Dear Neema Thank you so much for sharing your experience with us, your comments make us improve our service, I'm really sorry you didn´t enjoy your tour at the maximum. I will keep extra attention on your comments to verify with our operator it won´t happen again, unfortunately, due to pandemic our tour had to change due to some places are closed and we try to fill them with other stops. Besides this, I hope you enjoyed some parts of your tour! We hope to see you soon!

Great experience, private tour.

FernandoH, Sep 2021

We booked a private tour and it was the best we could have done. Our guide was don Rafa, she was amazing, trying not only to take us to the places included as part of the booked tour but as many others he could. He is ver kind and knowledgeable. Coordination was very good, he picked us up at the hotel but given that the street was closed due to some events, we managed to communicate with us and align on the best place. He gives you tips on what to do or not to do when you are on certain places like in Las Trajineras in Xochimilco. I will keep using this site to book my tour. Don Rafa, fully recommended.

Response from Host, Sep 2021

Hi Fernando, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us your experience, we are very happy you had a great day with us! And for sure I will send your comments to Rafa. We hope to see you soon! Best!
