    Tour Details
    • Tours of DistinctionOperatorWritten December 2025

      The monarch's migrate November to March. However, the best time to experience them is in February (that is our opinion).

  • G

    Georgia

    Asked on October 10th, 2025

    We want to go to the Leon Trotsky museum. Can it be included with Frida Kahlo day?

    Tour Details
    • Tours of DistinctionOperatorWritten October 2025

      We can make that arrangement. Your Tour Director can make that work. The entrance fee is 70 Mexican Pesos per person and that can be purchased at the museum.

    • Tours of DistinctionOperatorWritten October 2025

      I forget to mention the museum is closed on Mondays.
