Amazing tour of Rivera murals!
We had an amazing tour with Laila! She was very passionate about the murals and the history of Diego Rivera’s murals. In addition, she was able to adjust our tour when one of the museums was closed because of a local protest. The place she took us to instead was a hidden jam and we are so grateful that we got to see it. In addition, she gave us lots of other recommendations for things to do on our trip and went out of her way to make our trip memorable. We highly recommend Laila!

Was it worth it?
My husband and I met our guide at the Museo Vivo del Muralismo a little after 10am. She was very kind and pleasant and informed us it would just be my husband and I, which was nice. She asked if we had any others plans and we informed her we had another tour at 3pm. To which she said she would then cut the 6-hour tour short! I informed her the information said the tour was 10am to 1pm, not 6 hours. We spend about 2hrs at the first museum and after I expressed concerned over the time we rushed through the lower floor and headed to Palacio de Bellas Artes. It was super crowded and due to the time, it felt rushed as well. We headed lastly to Diego Rivera Mural Museum, which is appropriately named because there is only one mural, albeit a large one. It did also however have clean bathrooms we could use. We went over the mural quickly since by now it was after 1pm, we ended at about 1:45pm. Again, the tour guide was very kind, but the information was disorganized and scattered which is probably what led to the lack of time management. Additionally, the first museum, Museo Vivo del Muralismo, which houses most of Diego Riveras murals is free, the second one Palacio de Bellas Artes is 95 pesos pp (~$5.50 USD pp) and the last museum, Diego Rivera Mural museum, was 50 pesos pp (~ $3 USD pp). So, was it worth it? You can decide.
Response from the operator: Hello Christina! First of all, we want to thank you for trusting us to show you Diego’s murals. We’re very sorry that your tour went longer than planned. This tour is designed to provide an in-depth look at Diego Rivera’s work, and sometimes it runs a little longer due to our team’s passion for sharing Diego’s work, the size of the Living Museum of Muralism, the distances between museums, and the questions and interest of our guests. However, almost all of our tours last approximately 3 hours, our guide explained that the Living Museum of Muralism is so large that you can spend up to 6 hours there so probably there was a misunderstanding or our guide was not clear enough. We understand that you often visit us with very limited time, so we are infinitely grateful for your feedback so we can improve our experience and offer you the very best. Our goal is for all our guests to always leave with the best memories of our country, and we’re always happy to give you our very best. We stand out by offering private tours or tours for very small groups to provide an in-depth, high-quality experience, though you are always free to choose other, larger-scale experiences. Please let us know the next time you’re coming so we can offer you a complimentary tour—we’ll be happy to welcome you! Kind regards

Diego Rivera's murals, hidden treasures: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Diego Rivera's murals, hidden treasures cost?
+
Prices start at $75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mexico City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Diego Rivera's murals, hidden treasures take?
+
Plan for about 3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mexico City is not rushed.
Is Diego Rivera's murals, hidden treasures worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 31 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Diego Rivera's murals, hidden treasures suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Diego Rivera's murals, hidden treasures?
+
Around 11 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mexico City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mexico City and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Diego Rivera's murals, hidden treasures start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mexico City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mexico City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mexico City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
