Privé tour: Xochimilco, Coyoacan en Frida Kahlo Museum
Beschrijving
Ervaar een levendige reis vol Mexicaanse kleur, kunst en identiteit tijdens deze privétour met ophalen en wegbrengen bij het hotel. We beginnen in de grachten van Xochimilco, waar u aan boord stapt van een traditionele trajinera (een boot) en tussen drijvende tuinen glijdt terwijl u geniet van de feestelijke sfeer en muziek die kenmerkend zijn voor dit UNESCO Werelderfgoed. We gaan verder naar Coyoacán, beroemd om zijn geplaveide straatjes en koloniale ambiance. We bezoeken het iconische Frida Kahlo Museum (Casa Azul), de voormalige residentie van de gerenommeerde kunstenaar. Tenslotte verkennen we de Nationale Autonome Universiteit van Mexico (UNAM), waar we de architectuur en emblematische muurschilderingen bewonderen. Een complete ervaring die traditie, kunst en erfgoed combineert in totaal comfort. Opmerking : Toegang tot het Frida Kahlo Museum is afhankelijk van beschikbaarheid en voorraad tickets op het moment van boeking.

Dit werk in het zuiden van Mexico-Stad maakt plaats voor de beroemde kanalen van Xochimilco, de laatste overblijfselen van een enorm systeem om water te transporteren dat de Azteken hebben gebouwd. U kunt wandelingen maken in kleurrijke boten die lijken op de gondels terwijl ze langs voedselverkopers, ambachtslieden en mariachi's passeren.
Gelegen in een van de mooiste en oudste buurten van Mexico-stad, werd het blauwe huis in 1958 omgebouwd tot museum, vier jaar na de dood van de schilder. Tegenwoordig is het een van de drukste musea in de Mexicaanse hoofdstad.
Coyoacán vertegenwoordigt de "plaats van degenen die coyotes bezitten of bezitten", van drie Nahua-stemmen: coyotl (coyote), hua (bezit) en can (plaats). De term coyoacanense, ontstond tussen de zevende en twaalfde eeuw na Chr., Fase waarin de site zou zijn gesticht, volgens de parameters die door verschillende historici en kroniekschrijvers waren vastgesteld
Diego Rivera verzamelde gedurende zijn leven een indrukwekkende verzameling pre-Spaanse figuren, die hij 'idolaje' noemde. De schilder bedacht het idee om een constructie te maken die deze stukken zou huisvesten en was eveneens een leefbaar artistiek werk.
Op 22 september 1910, als president Porfirio Díaz Mori, werd de Nationale Universiteit van Mexico ingewijd, in overeenstemming met het decreet van 16 mei van dat jaar dat de Constitutieve Wet van Justo Sierra Méndez 18 formaliseerde, een wet die hem niet gaf het autonome karakter dat zou verwerven tot 28 mei 1929 toen president Emilio Portes Gil het verleende19 en toestemming gaf voor de bouw van University City. De eerste rector was Joaquín Eguía Lis. Het project van oprichting van de universiteit, hoewel zonder een onmiddellijk resultaat, werd voorgesteld door Justo Sierra in 1881, als plaatsvervanger en met de bedoeling om het onderwijsprobleem tegen te gaan. Het doel van Sierra werd gematerialiseerd in 1910 met de inaugurele daad van de Nationale Universiteit van Mexico, in het amfitheater van de Nationale Voorbereidende School. Op dit moment, als secretaris van openbare onderwijs en kunst, stelde Sierra in zijn toespraak dat de educatieve en wetenschappelijke doelstelling die de nationale universiteit zou moeten concentreren, systematiseren en verspreiden onder de Mexicaanse bevolking, was om zich voor te bereiden op de toekomst.

Marta and Antonio were fantastic. We had a lovely day and appreciate their flexibility as we were traveling with young kids.
There are two main aspects to this tour: the boat ride in Xochimilco and visiting the Frida Kahlo Museum. The boat ride itself was enjoyable, but the major issue I have is with how the Frida Kahlo Museum portion of the tour is advertised. According to our guide, tickets to the Frida Kahlo Museum sell out weeks in advance. If that is the case, then it seems highly unlikely that this tour can deliver what is advertised unless you book at least 3–4 weeks ahead. Unfortunately, this is not made clear when purchasing the tour. Instead, when tickets are unavailable, the operator offers substitute activities. However, the alternatives offered are nowhere near equal in either experience or monetary value to visiting the Frida Kahlo Museum. In my opinion, it is misleading to sell a tour that prominently includes the museum when the operator likely knows that securing tickets is very difficult unless booked far in advance. Buyers beware: before purchasing, confirm that tickets to the Frida Kahlo Museum have actually been secured. Do not assume that what is advertised will be delivered, and be cautious about accepting substitute activities, as they are likely to be of significantly lower value and quality.
Thank you for sharing your experience, Sonya. We regret that you were unable to visit the Frida Kahlo Museum. As is widely known, tickets for this museum sell out weeks in advance and availability depends entirely on the official ticketing platform. In your case, you were informed in a timely manner about the lack of availability and, even on the same day of the service, you were offered different alternatives, including the option to cancel the tour without any inconvenience. You chose to continue with the experience under these conditions. It is important to mention that we have prior conversations where you confirmed your agreement with the options provided and with continuing the service. Subsequently, at your request, a refund corresponding to the cost of the unused tickets was processed. Our commitment is to act with full transparency and provide clear solutions to our clients, even in situations beyond our control. For this reason, we consider it important to clarify these points for future travelers.
We booked a private tour which was definitely the move. Our driver was Daniel and tour guide was Jorge and both were very accommodating and friendly! The boat ride was so beautiful and relaxing, and Casa Azul and the Anachuacalli Museum were must sees! Overall, great experience!
Jorge and his driver were beyond excellent - he cared and was so knowledgeable about his beautiful home country and we were so honored to get the tour from him! He also shared his favorite quesadilla spot and my family hasn’t stopped talking about them! It was a wonderful day with Jorge and his driver and I’d recommend him to anyone looking to learn more while enjoying!
Awesome experience and such a wonderful tour guide, Martha! We loved the boat ride and the Frida Khalo museum was amazing!
We enjoyed the stops... it was just too much and too long for one day. After booking, we were told the Frida Kahlo museum was not actually available that day. Instead we went to the Diego Rivera studio, which was actually quite interesting (and we isited Casa Azul another day on our own). Our guide was very knowledgable, but gave far, far too much detail in some cases, particularly at the University Library, making the tour much longer and slower than necessary. We also felt pressured to get food in Coyoacan in the late afternoon at end of the tour, which was much later than indicated on the itinerary, throwing off our schedule. The driver was good. Probably they should eliminate one stop from the tour to make it more sensible as a single outing.
We really enjoyed this tour experience with Carlos (guide) and Antonio (driver). Carlos was extremely knowledgeable, friendly and professional. He shared lots of insightful information and was happy to engage in conversation not just about the tour subjects but also Mexico in general, with great tips and suggestions. Muchas gracias!!!
Jorge & Guillermo were fabulous hosts! We saw a lot of places that we otherwise wouldn't have. Xochimilco was a highlight, with a private boat and some mariachi magic! The local food recommends were absolutely delicious. The historical knowledge shared was truly impressive. Having a private tour gave us the flexibility to tailor to our likes, which helped us make the most of the day. All and all, a wonderful tour!
Jorge picked us up at our hotel and took us to different sites around the city. He was very informative and answered all of our questions on the tour. He also recommended some wonderful spots to have lunch and churros. Louis, the driver, was always on time to pick us up from each site and offered us cold water bottles throughout the day. We learned a lot about Mexican art, architecture, and culture. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to have a good exposure to the treasures that Mexico City has to offer.
Three of us traveled in a van with our guide Marta and driver Luis. Marta was a history major in CDMX and had a lot of interesting information to share about the murals, Xochimilco, neighborhoods and museums. The tour was in english and she was easily understood. *I would book as early as possible to see the Frida Blue house exhibit otherwise it may not be possible to get tickets to enter. The Anajuacalli Museo was a nice surprise and offers panoramic views at the very top if you don't mind several steps up. I recommend the private tour with Marta anytime. The hotel pickup and drop off, plus excellent taqueria break was a bonus as well. *take at least 5 mexican pesos in case you need to use the bathroom at Xochilmilco.
