5.00Jose is an excellent tour guide and anyone should be happy to get a tour with him. He is very knowledgeable about history and art and is able to discuss paintings and art in depth that we would never have known on our own. He also speaks very good English.

5.00I highly recommend!!! The tour with Jose exceeded all expectations. The way he conducts the visit is light, dynamic and extremely engaging, making time pass quickly. The explanations go far beyond the works themselves, bringing rich connections with the historical, political and philosophical context. José is very friendly, accessible and demonstrates an impressive intelligence and mastery on the subject. No doubt, one of the best experiences of the whole trip.

5.00What an amazing museum that transgresses so much of art history. To see a da Vinci so close was emotional and moving. Not to mention all the Rodin, Rivera, Dali, and Monet. Jesus was an incredible tour guide and the entire experience he led with grace and class. Thank you Jesus!

5.00Amazing visit...both of the museum itself, its collections, installations etc, and of the guide. Historian. Expert not only in the art and history of each onra itself, but knowledge of the museum itself. Being so big the museum, I knew exactly where the works and artists were, movements, eras, etc. in which we had special interest. So in an adequate amount of time (without being too long to be too tired) it led us directly to the works themselves, and thus expanding extensively on information. If I had gone on my own, I would never have seen what I wanted. Very friendly, very attentive, very knowledgeable. Very, very highly recommended. Gracias Francisco, Gracias José. Unforgettable day..

5.00This tour was fantastic, and it will definitely be a favourite memory from our trip! José is kind, funny, and knowledgeable and the tour exceeded our expectations. He enthusiastically answered all our our questions, and encouraged thoughtful insight. It felt like being with a friend, which was exactly what we were looking for. We also booked a muralism tour with José, which was equally memorable. If you're looking to learn more about Mexican art, history, and culture, don't hesitate to book with José!
