Fun boat adventure in Xochimilco, MX - Amara (Des) was a fun, enthusiastic host for our boat ride. Mario expertly directed us through the crowded canals. Our boat was full of fun people who met on the ride and became friends!

We had a wonderful time... - We had a wonderful time on the tour with our guide Camila! She’s the best! She was able to get my quiet group of 10 to play and party! We highly recommend a tour around the canals with her. Book the tour earlier in the day, as the canals get busy.

Good time! - Getting here was a pain from CDMX. I love Publix transportation and it’s part of the travel adventure for me so I took a metro and two buses and saw a lot of the city. On the way back I took rideshare with some people I met on the boat. Our guide Luis was nice and accommodating and we had a fun time singing and drinking. Beautiful place to see.

So Much Fun — The Perfect Mix of Learning and Party! - This excursion was an absolute blast! The guides did an amazing job of balancing fun and teaching us about the area and traditions. They brought great energy and made sure everyone was having a good time from start to finish. The food was delicious as were the drinks, the atmosphere was upbeat, and felt like a party I didn't want to end. They had fun games planned. I’d 100% do it again and recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, memorable day out! You know they guides love what they do when our Guide Ivan told us he took a year off being a university professor in France to do this.

Best Xochimilco Tour - The tour was amazing, our tour guide Ivan had an amazing energy, he was super friendly too. During our tour we got to eat taquitos, and different types of Mexican candy, we drank mescal, pulque, and tequila. I would recommend to anyone who is looking for a great tour in a trajinera.

Drinking party boat - This was a cute drinking party boat. Very little explanation of the history of the canals and no discussion of ecology or nature. We didn’t realize this was just for tourists who want to be together drinking and laughing while floating up and then down a canal. It was fun for those who were looking for that experience. Everyone was friendly and we joined in. There was pressure to drink alcohol, for sure. It was the expectation. We don’t drink, really. We took tiny shots when everyone else did, and I hoped that when we spun the dreidel it wouldn’t land on “scorpion” which would have meant I’d have to tilt my head back and try to aim the bottle into my mouth while holding it behind and over my head… So there you go! Our experience.
