Tour in Trajinera - I really enjoyed giving the tour in the Trajinera, there was a very good Mood, the guide told us about the history of Xochimilco and the surrounding area. It is good that there are options to buy other services by boat, especially mariachis, 10/10.

Great experience and authentic Mexican fun - It was my first time visiting Xochimilco and the experience exceeded my expectations. My family and I had a lot of fun, made new friends, listened to Mariachi live and learned about the canals and culture. Our guide was always friendly and attentive. I would definitely come back and recommend it to everyone who wants to visit this magical area and have an amazing time.

Such a great tour with... - Such a great tour with Maria! We were a little worried because it was a very rainy Monday, but us and the other group on the trip had a blast. Maria was informative and fun, and we enjoyed learning about the history of Xochimilco and having some great tequila. Would totally recommend!

Great Experience - It was an amazing experience. Maria was our host and she was simply great. I wish the food could be better. The tamales were sad so would suggest to grab some food with you for the ride. U will find fruits and margarita vendors along the way.

Fun experience if you're looking for a party boat. - Let's be honest. It's a booze cruise. The area is beautiful and generally peaceful (before several rounds of Mezcal/Tequila), but it's mostly just drinking on a boat. Most everyone also brought their own alcohol on top of what was offered. You aren't going to get a lot of information about the canals, the wildlife, horticulture, or history, which is a little sad considering it's a UNESCO site. If you are looking for that, there are sunrise kayak tours. In retrospect, I wish I'd done that. Also, if you have concern for animal welfare, do NOT visit the ajolotario/ajolote sanctuary - it tainted the entire experience for me. Having said all of that, the guides were really fun and friendly and the tamales were excellent. Also, bring cash if you want to hear the Mariachis - they're great!
