I had a wonderful tour with Diego! He was so incredibly knowledgeable, and I learned so much. The next time I am in Mexico City I will absolutely take another tour with him at a different museum (or maybe back at Museo Soumaya, given the ever changing collection)! Thanks, Diego!
Our tour guide Diego was exceptionally well prepared, sharing insights into the collection that we would not have discovered on our own. He also kept a good pace moving us through the gallery efficiently. Highly recommend Diego for a professional and perfectly timed experience!
Diego is extremely knowledgeable and his tour is absolutely a delight! His English is perfect, he brings up interesting facts and stories and easily answers any question. He is punctual, responsive and responsible. Our visit would have not been so profound both out him. Thank you Diego!
Diego is a fantastic guide to the Soumaya Museum, providing a strong narrative, with lots of interesting, unique details and a clear path. He is superb at answering questions with thoughtful depth, and also just a generally really nice guy. Highly recommend. You will be lost and only seeing topically in this museum without an expert guide like Diego to truly understand. A+
Diego was so informative! He was extremely knowledge about he exhibit, the history and about art in general. Highly recommend !
The architecture of the building is magnificent with a collection of amazing art and famous artists. The Gates of Hell by Rodin impressed me as well as the statue of David and the murals go unsaid. Most museums are closed on Mondays, Soumaya is open and admission is free. If you want to learn the art located in this museum I suggest you hire Diego as your guide, Diego has a robust knowledge of all the museum’s collections, I promise you will not be disappointed.

Diego was a wonderful guide. He was knowledgeable and made the art meaningful. This tour is highly recommended. We learned alot about different artists and their style. A great experienc
I booked this tour then planned my day abroad around it and then the operator cancelled at the last minute. Very unprofessional. Do not list the experience unless you intend to follow through with it. Absurd.
This was truly the best museum tour that I have ever paid for. Diego was super knowledgeable, and tailored my tour to what I wanted to see. While the entry to the museum is free, it is well worth paying for this tour. I even lucked out and got a solo 1-on-1 tour with Diego! You can spend hours upon hours in this world class gem of a museum. I recommend coming in with an idea of what you want to see, because you can easily spend more than a day here if you see every single item and exhibit.
