Fun Tour and Here are Tips - The experience is really great! I recommend going with a group for the best experience, but I went with my girlfriend and we were paired with a bachelorette party. We had a lot of fun and we were ready to party from the start. There’s plenty of alcohol to go around and our guide Gustavo was really knowledgeable and had fun with us. If I had to do it again: Make sure to communicate with the numbers provided before arriving. The area is chaotic upon arrival and other vendors will try to put you on another boat. Make sure to find your Pako Tour Guide. If you don’t like tequila or beer, you can bring your own alcohol or beverages. A few mixers are provided but not much. Bring some pesos if I you plan to shop and tip. You can pay with credit card for some things, but I didn’t bring enough and had to Venmo people at the end. (I brought about $100 USD worth) Bring good vibes and bring people with good vibes.

3 hours of fun in Xochimilco - Pako Tours MX is the way to go for a Xochimilco tour. 3 hours of fun on a trajinera in the water. Gus was our tour guide and he was so much fun. Providing some knowledge of the area and bringing the energy. They provide the drinks and they show you around making various stops to get food, drink, or use the bathroom. One of the best experiences of our trip.

Highly recommend! Staff was the best! - Every person who helped in this excursion was impeccable. Gustavo was an excellent guide and our rower kicked ass! Paco, the owner, even hung out with us and some crew for an hour or so after the ride just drinking tequila and shooting the breeze. My husband I liked the tequila they provided so Paco went above and beyond and went out and got us a bottle to take home. It was just the husband and I so we were glad that another 3 people joined our boat to make it feel more festive. I would highly recommend, we had a great time.

A lovely afternoon - Gustavo was a great tour guide and this was a fun, relaxing afternoon. The kids enjoyed the animal stop (snakes, axolotls, a piglet) and we all enjoyed learning about the history of the area and its biodiversity. Easy to get to by Uber. Highly recommend!

Best Day Ever with Gustov! - It was myself and my husband on a tour with Gustov and we had the best day ever! He gave us Mexican history, recommendations of other things to do on our trip, took pictures, made the best food recommendations during boat ride, showed us the peaceful side of the canals, you really couldn't ask for a better guide. He truly did it all!

It took two hours to... - It took two hours to get there. Not much to see. It said it would be a English speaking guide on the booking website but I was told the English speaking guide was not available on the tour day.
