Tour Details
At the arranged hour, pickup will be arranged from your accommodation in Mexico City as we head south on a scenic 45-minute journey. Our first destination will be the iconic Blue House, the birthplace and residence of Frida Kahlo, where she also created many of her celebrated pieces.
This museum, inaugurated in 1958, houses a distinctive assortment of personal belongings, artworks, and original furnishings that offer insight into the artist's life. While wandering through the rooms and gardens of this enchanting space, you’ll uncover the compelling narrative of Frida’s life and her bond with Diego Rivera. The charm that permeates each section of the house is sure to leave you in awe!
Following our 1.5-hour exploration of the Blue House, we'll proceed to the Leon Trotsky House Museum, located just a short distance away. You'll discover that Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera had a close friendship with the Russian revolutionary. This fortified residence served as Trotsky's last haven alongside his wife, Natalia Sedova, and was the backdrop of one of the most notorious assassinations in modern history.
During our 1-hour guided experience here, you’ll visit the office where this prominent Soviet figure once worked, examine historical documents and personal items, and gain insights into his life during exile in Mexico. Expect a tour enriched with historical and political context that will help illuminate the tumultuous atmosphere of that era.
As our excursion concludes, we’ll return to your hotel and bid farewell after approximately 4 to 5 hours of enriching exploration.
