Paulina is an excellent guide. She guided us at both this museum as well as the Soumaya. She is very knowledgeable which adds context to the art. We wholeheartedly recommend her for this tour and the Soumaya!
Jesus the guide was very kind, but he is not prepared to be a guide of a National Museum of Art. It is a real pity that we could not have qualified information in a museum of such relevance.
Hola Leonor! Espero estés muy bien. De hecho Jesus es magister en historia del arte y docente universitario de alto nivel. Es un poco extraño este comentario, teniendo en cuenta que dedicó gran parte del tour en explicar a detalle muchas obras, siendo un grupo pequeño (5 personas). Aún no entendemos el motivo de este mensaje. Ojalá alguno día nos puedas contactar y esclarecer. Lindo día
We had an excellent, informative tour with Jose. He provided us not only with important information about the works of art but also their political, historical, and philosophical context. We specially appreciated the introduction to the great Mexican muralists. Clearly the best tour of our trip!
Excellent tour of the MUNA. An exquisite place all comes together. Architecture, sculpture and painting. All enjoyed under the guidance of Art Master Jesus. Thank you very much for your patience in answering all our questions.
Best museum in Mexico City. Guide spoke perfect English. Learned so much from him about the art. Great experience!!
José Vicente Figueroa was excellent guiding us thru the National Museum of Art in Mexico City. He explained the art in historical context of Mexico from the Aztec migration to art in revolutionary periods to current day. Jose is insightful, knowledgeable and could elaborate on any of our questions. We will be doing more tours specifically with Jose.
I have done many tours in Mexico city, and Jose has been really the best. He is very passionate about the subject matter, intrinsically interested in Mexico's art and history, he has very broad and deep knowledge, and he also has a very vivid and wonderful way to convey all what he knows. Apart from that, his English is Excellent. I learned a lot in this tour and and can highly recommend him for any tour
Jose was an excellent guide! He was knowledgeable and interactive the whole tour. Having a guide makes the tour so much more interesting. There is so much to see. He was on time and clear with times and meeting location. Highly recommend Jose as your guide.
The place is incredible, the architecture is impressive, combined with the works of art sculptures, paintings is another level, José our Guide is an art enthusiast took us on a trip to the past with explanations, and important points of all the works of art, highly recommended
I had an amazing experience. You can see the passion with which Joseph provides details about each work. I loved how he connected Mexican culture with the art on display, making the tour interesting and enriching. Also, the museum itself is beautiful, it is certainly a visit that I recommend to anyone who wants to immerse themselves in the art and history of Mexico
