Discover the south of Mexico City on a private tour with hotel pickup and drop-off.
We begin in Xochimilco with a ride on a trajinera (a traditional boat) through its pre-Hispanic canals and chinampas (floating gardens), a living tradition of the ancient Valley of Mexico.
In Coyoacán, we'll visit the Casa Roja (Red House), the home acquired by Guillermo Kahlo in 1930 and now a museum dedicated to his family's legacy. You'll learn about Frida Kahlo's personal life, see original negatives by her father, and view personal belongings that reveal her artistic development.
We conclude at Ciudad Universitaria (University City), the campus of the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM), where you'll admire the modernist architecture and iconic murals of the Central Library and the Olympic Stadium.
A complete, comfortable, and exclusive cultural experience.

4Museo Casa Kahlo
The Kahlo House is not just a museum; it is home to the history of a family whose legacy to Mexico's cultural heritage has been enormous. This space has safeguarded memories, objects, and stories that reflect the intimate lives of its inhabitants, becoming a meeting point between private memory and collective interest. The Kahlo family was marked by diverse origins and a sensitivity toward art and culture. Frida was born within it, finding in this environment fertile ground for developing her identity and her work. The museum offers visitors a close-up look at the family background of one of the most iconic artists of the 20th century. The architecture of the Kahlo House is not a true sounding board where family experiences, emotions, and creative processes are amplified. Each room reveals a way of living that fostered coexistence, intimacy, and artistic expression. Thus, the space itself becomes the protagonist of the family's history and the work of Frida and Guillermo Kahlo.
