Overview

Discover the south of Mexico City on a private tour with hotel pickup and drop-off.
We begin in Xochimilco with a ride on a trajinera (a traditional boat) through its pre-Hispanic canals and chinampas (floating gardens), a living tradition of the ancient Valley of Mexico.

In Coyoacán, we'll visit the Casa Roja (Red House), the home acquired by Guillermo Kahlo in 1930 and now a museum dedicated to his family's legacy. You'll learn about Frida Kahlo's personal life, see original negatives by her father, and view personal belongings that reveal her artistic development.

We conclude at Ciudad Universitaria (University City), the campus of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), where you'll admire the modernist architecture and iconic murals of the Central Library and the Olympic Stadium.

A complete, comfortable, and exclusive cultural experience.

What to expect

  1. Canales de Xochimilco
    1h 30m · Admission ticket included
    Xochimilco represents the reminders of a great civilization that was established in a system of artificial islands connected by a system of hydraulic channels through which we will navigate in a traditional trajinera and through the chinampas enjoying the colorful and local traditions
  2. UNAM Biblioteca central
    30m · Admission ticket included
    The university city will allow us to see its immense campus and its buildings that give it an identity that is impossible to confuse with the university stadium framed with a mural by Diego Rivera, its rectory building with a relief mural by David Alfaro Siqueiros and the work Master of the muralist Juan O´gorman captures the history of Mexico and humanity in an immortal and spectacular mosaic mural.
  3. Coyoacan
    1h
    A walk through the neighborhood of Coyoacan represents a breath within this metropolis, you can feel a provincial atmosphere with its colonial appearance and its particular architecture, its parish and its popular market with its food, churros, typical sweets, snacks and delicious chocolate or coffee hot.
  4. Museo Casa Kahlo
    1h · Admission ticket included
    The Kahlo House is not just a museum; it is home to the history of a family whose legacy to Mexico's cultural heritage has been enormous. This space has safeguarded memories, objects, and stories that reflect the intimate lives of its inhabitants, becoming a meeting point between private memory and collective interest.

    The Kahlo family was marked by diverse origins and a sensitivity toward art and culture. Frida was born within it, finding in this environment fertile ground for developing her identity and her work. The museum offers visitors a close-up look at the family background of one of the most iconic artists of the 20th century.

    The architecture of the Kahlo House is not a true sounding board where family experiences, emotions, and creative processes are amplified. Each room reveals a way of living that fostered coexistence, intimacy, and artistic expression. Thus, the space itself becomes the protagonist of the family's history and the work of Frida and Guillermo Kahlo.
