Walk through Coyoacán with an English-speaking host such as Rosa, Jordan, Maria, or Rolf, stopping at Plaza de la Conchita, the market, Jardín Centenario, and Casa Azul. Expect local snacks, tostadas, fruit, aguas frescas, and churros, followed by free time inside Frida Kahlo’s former home.

“Diego was terrific. Great time visiting Coyoacán and the museum. We decided to do this because the Frieda Kahlo museum was sold out during our trip- but this tour added so much to our experience. We loved seeing the streets where she walked and get a better understanding of the cultural context of her day to day life. We recommend this experience, a great way to see Coyoacán!”
