The Unexpected Trip - This trip was not at all what I expected (in a positive way!). Guillermo (our tour guide) was great! I want to make it known that our guide was in Spanish. Let me start by saying Guillermo text me the night before to confirm our pick up location and time. The morning of our trip he text me to let me know he would be arriving soon. His car was very clean and well kept. He has great driving skills and got us safely to all our destinations. My mother enjoyed the trip and so did I. **Guillermo was with us for almost the entire trip. The only time we separated was when we were in the church.

Xochimilco and Coyoacan - I felt safe in the transfer, kind people. Guillermo who was in charge of the transfers, very helpful, respectful and knowledgeable of the city. The walk through Xochimilco very fun and interesting, Francisco rower of the trajinera was very attentive and enjoyable , all looking for us to enjoy the maximum experience Coyoacan : a very eclectic neighborhood, and many places to have lunch or just have a drink , unmissable visit the Church San Juan Bautista and the artisanal vintage of many types. We really enjoyed Mary’s ride and follow-up to Arc Tours, before, during and at the end of our tour.

City of Flowers - Traditional location, 1 hour walk, quite reasonable duration. The canals are a classic of Mexico, where the city was born

private tour - was a terrific trip for when you are short on time visiting Mexico City. Rafael picked us up at our hotel and took us around the town to the Xochimilco Boats and then to the Coyacán district and the Frida Kahlo blue house. he was nice enough to drop us in Zocalo instead of back to our hotel

Early Morning Peace - The trajineras were very interesting. It was peaceful cruising the canals in the early morning with the wildlife and flowers around us. Rafael was very kind and informative. The tour could have been improved by our guide providing more information along the way. More English would have been appreciated.
