10/10 wonderful experience - This was a highlight of our trip to CDMX. Jimmy? and our boat driver were amazing, kind, and patient with my intermediate Spanish. We even met the owner and he was wonderful. My wife and I had an amazing time. I cannot recommend them enough.

“Alex’s Tequila Cruise: CDMX at Its Most Fun” - If you think Mexico City can’t surprise you anymore, wait until you’re floating on a Trainer Boat down the canals in Xochimilco with a tequila in hand, a taco in the other, and Alex—the world’s most charismatic guide—steering the vibe like a party captain. Our boat ride was basically a floating fiesta. Tequila and beer kept appearing as if by magic (thanks, Alex), the local mariachi music was spot-on, and the food… es lo mejor! Think fresh-made tacos boat side, salsas that made us question our life choices in the best way, and churros that disappeared suspiciously quickly. Alex didn’t just guide the tour—he hosted it. He shared stories, cracked jokes, kept us dancing, and somehow managed to keep us from drifting into other boats even while we were all taking selfies. A true professional. If you want a day filled with laughter, sunshine, and tequila-fueled joy, this is the experience. 10/10 would float again. 🌮🍹⛵💃

We had a BLAST! - Had a blast! I would definitely do it again, I highly recommend this experience. A mariachi band got on board to play music for us, so cool!

Family Friendly Fiesta - This was a great experience. While we weren't expecting to be the only group on the boat, it actually ended up being better. It was definitely more personalized for me and my family. Our guide, Jimmy, was great. He made sure my kids had activities to do while still making sure my wife and I had fun. Our rower, Jorge, recommended a specific mariachi band and they were great. It was such a wonderful time. At the end, we got to meet Pako himself and he welcomed us with open arms. He treated us like family and was genuinely thankful for our business.

Fabulous time with friends! - The fiesta boat ride was fabulous! There were 13 of us and we had the whole boat to ourselves. We pretty much entertained ourselves with drinks, music and dancing. The beer and soft drinks were non-stop! A large group is the best way to do this. The food was mediocre, all the tacos were deep fried, not enough sauces, no guacamole/chips and very few options to choose from. Appreciate that the food was freshly cooked but it could have been better! Overall we enjoyed ourselves and it would have been perfect if the food was good! Also appreciate that transportation was arranged for us!
