Arturo is an amazing, knowledgeable tour guide who helped to bring the house to life. We would highly recommend!
Thanks Ben! I’m thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that Casa Ortega felt so special to you. I really appreciate it- arturo
Roman was amazing! Made the experience super worthwhile. He was very knowledgable on the house and offered great insight into the little details that would have otherwise gone unnoticed
Thank you very much for your lovevly words!
Vale was a kind and friendly guide, and very knowledgeable. She showed me where to stand for the best views of the architecture, both within the Casa Ortega and in the gardens, and encouraged me to better understand the artist’s intentions through Socratic questioning. She even showed me how to take a better photo on my camera to better remember my favorite parts! I’ll definitely be booking another tour, 12/10!
Thank you so much for your kind words! Hope to see you soon!
Daniel communicated the day before the tour and was very informative on what to expect. Meeting was a breeze and I was the only one in the tour so it felt like a private tour. Daniel was very knowledgeable on Luis Barragan’s architecture design. I would recommend this tour.
Hi Tiarra, thanks for sharing this kind review about your experience and my performance at the Ortega House by Luis Barragan. It was my pleasure to be your cultural ambassador from Chill N'Go Tours. Come back soon for additional cultural adventures in México City 😃🙏
The tour guided by Román is amazing. He has a deep knowledge of Barragán, the house and its history. He's extremely patient and kind. Will recommend it extensively.
Thank you very much!
Excellent knowledge and attention from guide Héctor Alberto, and very good contact and attention from the agency CHILL N GO.
muchas gracias por sus amables palabras.
The house is really nice and the tour guide is very detailed. It was really fun and knowledgeable if you’re into architecture.
Roman was kind and very informative. We enjoyed this hidden gem, the first house that Barragan built (not the last one which is more famous). There was some confusion about what tour we had booked, but fortunately we figured that out ahead of time. We were a small group so could really enjoy ourselves.
Daniel was an excellent tour guide and the Ortega house was unforgettable. Do yourself a favor a be immersed in the color of light of Louis Barragan’s hidden gem the Ortega House.
Hi Will, I am happy to know that you had such a great experience with Chill N'Go Tours and my performance at the Ortega House by Luis Barragán. It is great to know that I made it memorable 😊🙏
This is a great tour for anyone interested in the beautiful, colorful architecture of Luis Barragan. Casa Ortega was the first house he designed for himself, and it illustrates how he experimented with materials, indoor and outdoor spaces, and of course light and color. Our guide Daniel was deeply knowledgeable but also provided information in a way that was accessible and fascinating to those with an architectural background (me) and those without (my friend). The extensive and beautifully designed gardens were a surprising treat. Informative and enjoyable!
Hi Susan, It is great to know that you had such a great experience with me and Chill N'Go Tours at Casa Ortega by Luis Barragán. Thanks for sharing this amazing and detailed Review. Hope to have you back in a near future around another cultural adventure in México City 😃🙏🏼
