Jose Vicente has a fantastic and deep understanding of Mexican history and art. He has a first class personality and conveys history with humor, for example contrasting Rivera, Orozco and Siqueiros not just in terms of their respective perspectives and techniques but the impact of their personalities.
Not only Rivera

We met José at the Palace of Fine Arts and immediately started visiting the main murals. José was very good at introducing the theme and illustrating the social context of the time, fundamental to understanding the murals. Without its introduction most of the details of the works would be lost. After a short walk you reach two other beautiful buildings, where the visit continues. José is very knowledgeable on the subject and can convey information in a simple and direct way
Loved the tour

Jose exceeded all of our expectations. He was bright, articulate, knowledgeable, insightful, enthusiastic and caring. He brought the artwork alive and wanted to us to feel the history, soul and message within. Our tour was held on a Tuesday and when we found that the Dept of Education was unexpectedly closed, Jose rearranged his schedule to meet us the next day and continue the tour! We were overwhelmed by his dedication and his sincere desire to share the history of his country and the richness of its art. I enthusiastically recommend this tour.
Art, Fun and Tacos.

Jose is by far one of the best guides I ever had. So much knowledge, and so much passion about every subject matter that came across. From Art History, to History, to Anthropology, to Politics. There wasn't a question he didn't have an answer to, nor wasn't eager to discuss.
Fantastic tour with a fantastic guide

I attended the muralism tour, led by Jose. This was the best walking tour I've done in CDMX, not only for the excellent art, but also the expert explanation by Jose whose knowledge is unsurpassed. In addition, he was very friendly and caring and did his best to make the experience informative, positive and engaging. A fantastic morning looking at murals with Jose!
Fascinating and engaging tour with lots of history
