The experience

Not a tour.
A day with friends.

Three iconic neighborhoods, one full day, a side of Frida most visitors never reach.

Start in Xochimilco, floating through ancient canals on a trajinera while mariachis play live beside you. Then walk the cobblestone streets of Coyoacán: Plaza Hidalgo, Jardín Centenario, the local market. Try a freshly made churro and explore at your own pace.

The highlight is the newly opened Casa Roja (Red House), Frida Kahlo's family home in Coyoacán. Unlike the famous Blue House, the Red House reveals a more intimate side of her life: personal belongings, early artworks, and photographs that bring you closer to her real story. Your guide puts it all in context.

Small group, private transport, bilingual guide, hotel pickup and drop-off included. The way a day in Mexico City should feel.
