Mexico City tours and Lake Xochimilco - We had the best time! Our tour guide Sergio was AMAZING! He really made the experience special for us. The city tour was fun and informative and we stopped for lots of delicious snacks along the way. Sergio knows the best spots and also gave us so many recommendations for bars, restaurants and things to see. 10 outa 10!

Awesome All Day Tour - Ursula is an excellent tour guide, good English and knowledge of history. She makes sure everyone has a good time, highly recommended! The best part was the festive lunch on the boats in the canal, highlight of my trip to CDMX.

Guide and driver were awesome! - I had a really fun time on the tour of Mexico City and Xochimilco! The guide and driver, Jose and Rafael, were very sweet. Jose’s English was very good and he did a good job at explaining things and answering questions. Rafael impressed me with his driving skills. At Xochimilco, he backed the van into a very small spot like it was nothing. Still trying to figure out how he did that! Overall, it was a very nice day and I learned a lot. I also got some great souvenirs for my friends/family. I would recommend it to other travelers!

Beautiful day trip - The day trip was very nice and the guide friendly, but we did not enjoy the food on the boat. It was expensive and tasteless. So better skip that and just have a beer.

Good if you are limited for time - Would have preferred more time at Xochimilco and to not be pressured by jewellery seller which meant we missed things we wanted to see
