So fun! Shopping on a boat - It was a lot of fun. Highly recommend getting at least one (of not more) songs by a Mariachi band. And there is more than one so don't worry if you think you missed your chance - you haven't!
It's also like shopping without having to move from your seat. The vendors come to you but only if you want them to. I had delicious street corn.
We also saw beautiful birds.
Anna and Allan were wonderful guides/hosts

Boat ride was awesome,... - Boat ride was awesome, super accommodating, and the alcohol never stopped flowing. Live band took requests for traditional Mexican music (song requests cost pesos so just keep that in mind). Ended up with a handful of different groups between 2 boats, everyone was friendly and had a great time. River itself was beautiful lots of things to buy

Good service and experience! - Very good attention, they make stops to the bathroom if needed and play the music that the group asks, give the necessary information and local legends.
The only thing is that there is not much variety of drinks/alcohol. My only comment to improve

READ THIS PLEASE - Made last minute reservations to this boat ride , Anna and Alan were amazing.
But let’s start from the beginning: we met our boat guide by the docking area. Anna explained to us that our package deal included margaritas, shots and Michelle’s ( $45 pp) . Of course had to have a Michaela and it was amazing but we had a lot of everything. 10/10
I don’t know why people post videos on IG and YouTube saying that there are no restrooms in the 2-3 hour boat ride.
WRONG!!!!! There are plenty of restrooms available through the river. Just tell your boat guide you need to tinkle and they will stop.
I will return and book with Anna and Alan again 💯. They made sure we had a good time , very attentive to us . Their genuine service does not go unnoticed .

Not what we booked – They should have informed us earlier! - We were in Mexico for only two days, and I was really looking forward to experiencing Xochimilco the way I had imagined it: filled with trajineras, mariachi, and a festive atmosphere. Yes, it’s touristy, but that’s exactly what I wanted!
On the day of the tour, we received an early message stating that, due to events happening in the city, the location and transportation had changed. Our booking was for 2:00 PM, but since we also wanted to visit Coyoacán, we decided to make our own way to the meeting point—arriving one hour early!
Once we got there, we were informed that the tour had been moved to a different location, and they would take us there. When we arrived at this new spot, we were alone—no other tours, no lively atmosphere, and completely isolated. They claimed this change was made because it was the eve of International Women’s Day, and due to the celebrations, music and partying were not allowed in the original location.
However, the next day we met other travelers who went to the original location with music and partying just fine! So their excuse wasn’t true, and if there really was an issue, they should have told us beforehand so we could decide whether we wanted to join or not.
The Positives:
✔ Good vibes, and the team was friendly and welcoming.
✔ Unlimited alcohol as promised.
The Negatives:
✖ Not what we booked.
✖ The location change wasn’t justified, and they only told us at the last minute.
✖ Xochimilco is all about the people, music, and energy—something we missed out on.
Overall, if I wanted a quiet experience, I wouldn’t have booked this tour. It’s disappointing because I was expecting something entirely different. If you’re looking for the classic Xochimilco experience, make sure you’re going to the actual, lively location!
