What to expect
Your guide meets you at an agreed station and walks the line, stopping at key installations to explain design intent and artist backgrounds. You'll use the metro as your transport between stops—so expect real commuter traffic, platform activity, and the occasional delay. The tour lasts roughly two hours, though metro service disruptions can affect timing. Each station warrants 15–20 minutes of close looking and discussion. Bring comfortable shoes; there's stair navigation at each stop. This isn't a passive coach tour—you're actively moving through the system.
