We were picked up from...

We were picked up from our hotel by Luis and driven to Palacio de Bellas Artes. He made certain we arrived early and received our tickets for the performance. He explained the history of the Palacio de Bellas Artes and the folkloric ballet company. The performance was filled with live music, colorful costumes and exciting dance sets that represented different regions of Mexico. We enjoyed every moment and highly recommend experiencing the folkloric battle.

Don’t Miss This One!

The Balet Folklorico was absolutely a highlight of our week+ in CDMX. There was not a dull moment from start to finish. I highly recommend the performance for any age except perhaps the very young. Our seats were exceptional. Our driver, Luis, picked us up (3adults) at our rental house and pointed out interesting sites along the way. He has worked out a flawless system for dropping off and picking up his clients. He is charming and punctual. We had a delightful evening and I give the tour five stars.

The ballet show was an absolutely wonderful experience!! Such fast footwork and lovely costumes! It was non stop dancing. The live orchestra and vocal was amazing! Luis was easy to contact and dropped us back safely.
