Interesting Tour

5.00I really enjoyed this tour looking at the school which had murals and also the ministry of education murals. Rodrigo was an excellent guide helpful and interesting. He knew a lot. This tour really did connect the dots for me. To be aware you can go into both museums / places free of charge yourself but obviously you get much more layers and understanding with the tour.
Amazing murals!
