“Best boat on the canal! Alan was an awesome host and definitely kept the party going. All the other boats were definitely jealous of our fun party boat it is party party so if you’re looking for quiet and chill don’t book but if you’re looking for a fun party boat book! Definitely would recommend and definitely would book again! Wasn’t really open tacos we got Flautas so I wouldn’t expect unlimited food but defs unlimited drinks is”

Private tour linking Casa Azul, Coyoacán streets, and Xochimilco boat time, with included Frida entry and snacks for a full local day.
“Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly - had a lot of passion and told us tons about the city generally as well as specific destinations. However, this was an expensive tour and the tour guide was late and needed to get gas / reset her battery, which resulted in less time on the boat and the market. Also, the car was not premium. That being said overall it was a good experience. Also, we needed to spend a few hundred pesos for the boat tip and food / drinks.”

Private 6-hour Mexico City tour with pickup: Xochimilco trajinera, Coyoacán, Frida Kahlo Museum, Anahuacalli, UNAM mosaics.
“We enjoyed the stops... it was just too much and too long for one day. After booking, we were told the Frida Kahlo museum was not actually available that day. Instead we went to the Diego Rivera studio, which was actually quite interesting (and we isited Casa Azul another day on our own). Our guide was very knowledgable, but gave far, far too much detail in some cases, particularly at the University Library, making the tour much longer and slower than necessary. We also felt pressured to get food in Coyoacan in the late afternoon at end of the tour, which was much later than indicated on the itinerary, throwing…”

“This tour was so fun and a highlight of the trip! Our tour guide Diego was awesome, friendly, kept the fun going, and really made the entire experience so much fun. This is really a unique experience as you get to travel on the boat, you stop at various "shops" throughout the canal and can buy drinks, pulque, coconut drinks, see an amphibian sanctuary, stop for quesadillas, buy little trinkets etc. The boats are beautiful and comfortable!! Highly recommend going with a group or if you are alone/just a pair, definitely join strangers!! The boats are very social and we had a great time chatting with the others on our…”

“Xochimilco was marvelous, and I love Coyoacan. I've been to Mexico City a number of times and never made it to Xochimilco, so I was determined I'd go this time. I'd never even heard of Coyoacan. Our guide was very good, very professional and well-informed.”

“This was an absolutely amazing experience and we would 1000% recommend this tour to anyone looking to get ouside of the touristy party boats that seem to be offered by the other Xochimilco tours. Our guide, Ana, was so knowledgeable and fun to be around. The group size was small (only 5 people), which made the experience much more intimate. Ana took us around the market where we were able to sample so many delicious, authentic food options. This was followed by a peaceful boat ride to visit a working chinampa, all while continuing to snack on tasty food and learn more about the history and culture of the area.…”
