Alberto Farca Meno was our tour guide (Vibe Tours) for the Casa Roja (Freda Kahlo's family home) and the Leon Trotsky Museum. A few days before, Alberto was our guide for the anthropology museum and the Chapultepec Castle. Alberto is excellent! He knew all of the information by memory and knew how to navigate the narrow streets very well. I highly recommend Alberto to be your tour guide!
