Highly recommended guided tour.
Good experience with Román, a very pleasant guide who gave us a very complete tour of the house museum. The guided tour is highly recommended to learn the details of Trotsky's life. In addition, at the end of the tour they took us to have a very good coffee.

One guide; three houses; a masterful guide!
We were lucky to get Arturo for all three tours - Frida Kahlo's house, Diego y Frida's studio, and the Trotsky house. He was deeply knowledgeable, had answers to our questions and help us see the bigger picture and how the three sites tell the story. Arturo also was flexible - conducting the first tour in English, but also for a couple of Chinese visitor! Definitely book with Chill 'n go!

A Unique Experience of a Tragic Life
Arturo really brought the whole experience together. You can buy tickets and walk through on your own, but having someone as knowledgeable and invested as Arturo will make it a night and day difference. Arturo will walk you through the house, giving you a phenomenal overview of Lev’s (Trotsky’s) life. I knew a little going in, but coming out of it really gave me a whole new perspective on who Trotsky was. Lastly, Arturo has had a lot of experience at the museum so make sure to ask him any questions you have as it will make the whole thing that much better.

A place where 20th century history was made
The Trotsky Museum was a fascinating visit to an extraordinary period in Mexican history which Héctor brought to life with his knowledge and good sense of humour. He was also very helpful at the end of the tour by taking us to a vibrant local cafe.
