A Beautiful and Heartfelt Frida Kahlo WalkingTour - Rain Only Made It Better!

I recently took a Frida Kahlo walking tour in Coyoacán, and it was truly one of the highlights of my time in Mexico City. Despite a sudden change in weather, our guide handled everything with such calm and kindness. When the rain started coming down, instead of rushing or skipping parts of the tour, she gracefully adapted the plan and took us to a cozy, local spot where we warmed up with “Champurrado” (Mexican Hot Chocolate and Corn Drink and the most amazing churros. It felt so authentic — like a beautiful little detour into everyday life in Coyoacán. The tour itself was fantastic. Walking through the colorful streets of Coyoacán while learning about Frida Kahlo's life, art, and legacy in the very place she lived was incredibly moving. Cedrela, was incredibly knowledgeable, explaining everything with clarity, passion, and patience. Whether it was details about Frida's personal struggles, her political activism, or the meanings behind her artwork, the guide brought everything to life in a way that was both informative and deeply human. What stood out most was how considerate and warm our guide was. She made sure everyone felt included, answered every question with care, and kept the group engaged the whole time - even in the rain. We also made a stop to go inside the church before heading to the market for a quick lunch-tostadas with Aqua Fresca.The market had loads of souvenirs as well as food, fresh fruits and juices. If you're in Mexico City and even remotely interested in Frida Kahlo art, or history, I can't recommend this walking tour enough. Coyoacán is magical, and with the right guide, like Cedrela, the experience becomes...

I recently took part in a bicycle tour through the enchanting streets of Coyoacán, and it turned out to be a beautiful blend of nostalgia, discovery, and artistic homage. From the moment we began pedaling, I was immersed in the neighborhood’s charm—its leafy avenues, vibrant alleys, and cozy cafés that seemed to echo with stories from the past. Cycling through it all was a joy in itself—effortless, intimate, and a perfect way to soak in the vibe of the place. What made it even more special was how personal the experience felt. As we rode along, I was transported back to my childhood, revisiting spots I once explored with my father. It felt like weaving through time, past and present coming together in the hum of the bicycle wheels and the laughter of fellow riders. The tour culminated at the Frida Kahlo Museum—an iconic and emotional highlight. While I thoroughly enjoyed the journey and the destination, I did feel that the tour could have offered a deeper dive into the history of the area, especially in relation to Frida. Since the Blue House was the focal point of the experience, it would have been enriching to explore more of her personal connections to the places we passed—perhaps some lesser-known anecdotes, or insights into how the neighborhood influenced her art and life. These are the kinds of details that don’t always make it into the guidebooks but can truly elevate a cultural experience. That said, the tour was a delightful way to rediscover a part of the city that’s steeped in both history and heart. I left feeling both inspired and nostalgic—a sign of a...

Such a well organized and wacky night out! Marco, Pedro, and Natalia gave us directions to Garibaldi Square. Our tour group met and selected from an array of options at Beto Y Lety. We were presented tacos, quesadillas, tostada, birria, horchata, Coca-Cola, Sprite, Tequila and Mezcal. Beto Y Lety served the best chicken quesadillas I've ever had. Plus the rumor about Coca-Cola and Sprite being much better here is true, just get the version bottled in a glass. Each ticket covered the cost of dinner, drinks, being seranaded by Mariachi, a seat at Arena Coliseo to experience live Lucha Libre, and Lucha Libre masks. But you'll need to bring plenty of pesos so you can buy snacks and drinks during the show and so you can tip the Mariachi band and your tour guides. Skip purchasing toilet paper and the long restroom lines here and use the one next door at the Museum of Tequila and Mezcal. After dinner, drinks, and Mariachi we were escorted into the square where the guides gave us a short lucha libre history and etiquette lesson to prepare us for a fun-filled wacky night out. I really appreciated the surprise masks they gave us; it's a nice touch because it's a gift that doubles as a good souvenir. One the fighters finished we walked back to Garibaldi Square and we're given tips on where to and where not to grab a taxi or Uber. I'm really grateful this experience lived up...
