About this experience

We will see the contradictions and criticisms of muralism. We will explain the current urban art scene, the graffiti that today is an essential movement to get to know art in the CdMx.

What you'll see and do
Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso
Considered one of the most important cultural spaces in national life, the Antiguo Colegio de San Ildefonso is one of the most important colonial buildings in the historic center of Mexico City. This building is also known for its relevance within mural painting, since it is considered that the Mexican muralism movement began on its walls. Paintings by Diego Rivera, David Alfaro Siqueiros and José Clemente Orozco, among others, are reflected in it. For more than six decades it continued to be the cradle of several generations of intellectuals and prominent personalities.

Abelardo L. Rodriguez Murals
This was the second most important market built in Mexico City in the first decades of the 20th century, after the Dos de Abril market built in 1912. Like its predecessor, the Abelardo L. Rodríguez market was intended to be the prototype for a new and more modern popular market. The most distinctive feature of this market is the approximately 1,450 square meters of space, between walls and ceiling, covered with murals. These murals were painted by and under the direction of Diego Rivera's students. The murals reflect socialist themes, in part due to the policies of the Mexican government at the time, which tried to promote the benefits of the 1910 Mexican Revolution. They also reflect the concerns of the artists during this time period, giving rise to themes such as the exploitation of workers, peasants, and miners.

Ex Fabrica
What is now the Ex Fábrica MX, used to be a flour factory in the 1940s. It was abandoned and years later, and following global trends to regenerate abandoned spaces, Living+SLVK rehabilitates the old Flour Factory to transform it into an Art District where expressions of urban art stand out. There is no doubt that it is a space different from any other in CDMX, full of urban expressions such as graffiti, it has become a super instagrammable place due to its striking colors and figures that steal glances.

EXCITING EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE!
Jorge had to be the best guide we ever had. Not only was he fun and personal, he had an extraordinary knowledge of art. Through his eyes, we were able to break down the different parts of the murals to understand the deep messages the artists were trying to express. It was interesting to become aware of how Diego Rivera and José Clemente Orozco’s work and messages transcended over time. Jorge opened our eyes to how we will look at all Art in the future. It was also very cool to see the graffiti.

Excellent and highly recommended!
My husband, daughter (11 years old) and I did the Murals and Graphitis tour and we loved it. The guide explained in great detail historical, architectural, cultural and other aspects, in a very pleasant way for both adults and my daughter. She was very interested, asked many questions and loved to paint her graffiti. Highly recommended!

Great experience, especially for families with teenagers who like art and graffiti
If you are interested in muralism and art, this tour is a must. The tour takes you off the beaten paths to some of the lesser known murals, by some incredible artists, and to some cool spots in the city that would be hard to discover without help. Our guide, Jorge, did a fantastic job explaining the symbolism in the paintings and how the political message developed over time. The guide took us on a ride with the public transport system (metro + bus) which was a great experience in itself. The tour ended at an old factory ("Ex Fabrica") that is now repurposed to a public space with bars and shops where every surface is covered with the most breathtaking graffiti art, and where we even got the chance to do some graffiti spraying ourselves. Great experience, overall!

Mural’s history in Me I I Cuty
Wear walking shoes as you cover a lot of ground but the knowledge you can leave with ; knowing all the mural history of MC is outstanding. If bad with Spanish names, snap pictures of their signature art so can compare elsewhere and later on other tours in MC

Unmissable experience!
You learn a lot, it is one of the best experiences, the speaker is fully trained and professional, I loved all the dynamics! (I have already taken several tours with Jaime and I really would not hesitate to take another package, highly recommended)

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tour Evolution of Muralism paints your Grafiti: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Tour Evolution of Muralism paints your Grafiti cost?
+
Prices start at $1000 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 Tour Evolution of Muralism paints your Grafiti take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 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 Tour Evolution of Muralism paints your Grafiti worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tour Evolution of Muralism paints your Grafiti?
+
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 Tour Evolution of Muralism paints your Grafiti suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tour Evolution of Muralism paints your Grafiti?
+
Around 2 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 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tour Evolution of Muralism paints your Grafiti 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.
What are the best things to do in Mexico City?
+
On Outty we rank every Mexico City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Frida Kahlo VIP [Museum Tickets Included] Walk, Markets & Churros, Local Foodie Adventure CDMX: Tacos & more with Sherpa Food Tours, Mexico City Historical Centre Food Tour with 7 Tastings & Drinks. 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.
