It's very worth touring with Joss. - Joss was a spectacular guide, she passionately explained every detail of Mexican history and towns. The tour was private and I was able to talk to her and ask her many questions. Joss knows a lot and I recommend her to learn about the anthropology of the native peoples.

Delightful tour! - This tour is perfect for people interested in the history, culture and traditions of Xochilmilco as well as the present day lifestyle of those who live and work in these canals. Our guide was knowledgeable and very pleasant and she was responsive to our interests for this private tour. If you want something other than what the party boats have to offer, we recommend this tour.
Also the lunch was a great experience!
