Great tour, awesome guide and spooky island - what a fun day! - We had the best time with Alan and his crew on this canal tour! Alan was super helpful when the Uber driver dropped us at the wrong place, and so knowledgeable about the Xochimilco canals. He kept us entertained with the spooky stories about La Isla de las Munecas and kept the vibes fun when we were on the water too. We enjoyed fine tequillas and mezcals and played Lotteria! I cannot recommend this tour highly enough!

River boat tour. - This tour was the highlight of our trip to Mexico City! Boat, captain, Adrian, and tour guide Alan were so much fun and provided cocktails, games, and lots of interesting information about their home area. A stop at the island of the dolls made the trip even more fun. I highly recommend using this to our company. Be sure to stay away from the large corporate tours that are offered. Adrian and Alan grew up in this area and offer a very personal touch to their tour.

Super!! - This was the greatest experience. Alan was so friendly and knowledgeable. We were not hassled with trying to buy anything and we had plenty of time to visit the island. The food, drinks, and games were so fun and engaging. The entire trip lasted about 2-3 hrs. It was perfect for what we wanted, not too long, fun, no hassle experience…would recommend 1000x

Go on this tour if you want to learn all about the canals, and the Isla de Los Munecas - Knowledgeable and competent guide and boat driver. Very informative, just the right amount of comedy, and obviously very proud of his heritage.

Top 3 activity in CDMX! - We had a great time traveling with Alan to the Island of the Dolls! Alan is incredibly knowledgeable and fun! If you’re looking for something slightly esoteric, fun, and still want to experience the canals, this is the trip for you. Don’t expect the usual loud, drunk boat tour. (Nothing wrong with that. This just isn’t the same). While on the canals make sure you look up at trees. There are spooky surprises everywhere.

A terrific way to spend a fun and educational afternoon - Alan and his team were absolute magic. We didn't know quite what we were signing up for but what it was was a lovely boat ride through some beautiful canals, terrific and copious drinks and snacks, a visit to a spooky island and to an axolotl conservatory, with a lot of fun and games along the way. Alan was tremendously knowledgable about everything from history and culture to biology and science and this was truly a wonderful way to spend and afternoon.

Spooky and Unforgettable! - We took a sunset tour of the Island of the Dolls, and it was unreal. Alan and his crew were so welcoming and really knew their stuff. They didn’t just show us the place—they brought it to life with stories and history. There’s something haunting and beautiful about the island. You feel it when you’re standing there, surrounded by those eerie, weathered dolls. It’s unsettling but also oddly meaningful. I left feeling connected to it in a way I didn’t expect. Can’t recommend this tour enough, and I’d love to book with them again next time we’re in Mexico City.
