EXCLUSIVE TOUR at Diego Rivera Anahuacalli Museum - Small Groups
Description
The Anahuacalli Museum, whose name in Nahuatl means 'house on land between two seas,' is a visionary creation by Diego Rivera together with architect Juan O'Gorman. Conceived as a studio, museum, and temple for art, this one-of-a-kind space allows visitors to appreciate not only the vast collection of crafts and pre-Hispanic pieces Rivera gathered throughout his life, but also contemporary works in constant dialogue with the past. Its monumental architecture, inspired by ancient Mesoamerican constructions and built with volcanic stone, makes it a work of art in itself. Integrated into the natural environment of El Pedregal, Anahuacalli is also a City of the Arts: a living place where art is exhibited, created, and reflected upon. It is a constantly evolving museum that unites pre-Hispanic and contemporary aesthetics — past, present, and future — in a single space.

We had an amazing tour with Val Raffier- an exceptional tour guide on all fronts - with invested knowledge on Anahuacalli Museum, the life and vision of Diego Rivera and Frida Kahlo…and how it all relates to understanding Mexico Culture & History. Her generosity and style was open and engaged at all times. We really can’t speak highly enough of Vale has our guide and also the professional organization of the staff at Chill n Go! I give my highest marks!
Thank you so much for your beautiful and generous words. I’m truly touched by your review. It was an absolute pleasure sharing the Anahuacalli Museum with you. Your kindness about my style and engagement really warms my heart. Creating an open, meaningful experience is exactly what I hope for in every tour. I’m also grateful for your recognition of the Chill n Go team — we all work with dedication to make each experience special. See you tomorrow for a new adventure!
Leonor is the best possible guide. She knows virtually everything important about Diego Rivera, Frida Kayla, Juan O’Gorman, and pre-Colombian indigenous civilizations from the Olmecs to the Aztecs. She is sensitive and highly attentive, and she sees things that others usually miss. My wife and I are lovers of history, art, and anthropology, and we heartily endorse this tour. Bravo, Leonor!!!
Omar did amazing! There was so much to learn about this museum and Omar did a great job explaining everything to us.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Greetings
Omar was a great tour guide and explained the history of the museum very well. He was super knowledgeable and we learned a lot from him.
My friend it was a pleasure being with you , and we at Chill N Go tours, we give our best effort, to guide you at any tour in everyplace.
Our guide was Roman and his ability to describe the seen, the history of the place and his knowledge of indigenous cosmology contributed to make this visit to the Anahuacalli as informative as it was unforgettable. Highly recommended. Fraterno Lemus
muchas gracias, Fraterno! fue un placer mostrarles mi museo favorito de la CDMX! espero que pronto volvamos a encontrarnos c: un abrazo!
Great experience exploring Anahuacalli with Roman as our tour guide. He was so informative and approachable with questions. Roman walked us through the history and background of the artifacts and relics in the museum. He also shared enlightening information about Diego Rivera as a person — beyond the artist. Highly recommend.
thank you so much! it was wonderful to show you around my favorite museum of Ciudad de México!
I left this tour having learned much, much more than I expected to. I almost planned to go through the museum alone but I am glad that I didn't. My guide Leonor was exceptionally well educated about the history and planning of the museum, the context and the milieu of Diego Rivera's world, and the cultural details of the artifacts in the collection. I appreciated the freedom to ask questions about anything that caught my curiosity, and never felt rushed or like I was deviating from a rigid tour. I could tell that my guide loves the museum and it came through in the tour. It felt like visiting the museum with a friend!
Roman was super knowledgeable and friendly. He showed pride and enthusiasm when discussing the artifacts and architecture of Diego Riveras collection.
Thank you so much, Darryl! It was awesome that the last tour of 2025 was with you and lovely Steph!
Maite was an amazing tour guide. She led the tour at a perfect pace and taught us a lot of fascinating facts. Seeing this museum without the tour would’ve been much less interesting.
Our tour guide, Jorge, did a wonderful job. It is truly a magical museum. Completely unmissable. And definitely helped with the guided tour as there is no interpretation in the museum itself.
Hello, Ben! thank you very much for your attention and your kind review! please be welcome anytime, we'd love to tour the city again with you! good vibes and till the next time!
