My group of 10 friends LOVED the Mainly Mural Walking Tour and our guide DOROTHY YANEZ. There is nothing like a guide who can lead to the mural and enhance the experience with interesting information. Dorothy is SO knowledgeable and personable. She knows many of the muralists and knows the backstories of the work. I HIGHLY recommend taking one of her walking tours.
