Local knowledge, delicacies, and culture galore! - Francisco was an amazing guide! He was right on time to pick us up and shared an astounding amount of local knowledge with us. We enjoyed every stop and felt that there was a nice balance between the guided parts and the parts of the tour where we were left to wander/shop on our own. Francisco was amendable if we needed more time in one location and was always willing to answer our questions. He introduced us to some of the best coffee and churros we've ever had in Coyoacán! I definitely recommend doing this tour, it was one of the highlights of our trip to Mexico City!

Great experience with Ernesto. - Our tour with Ernesto was one of our favorite. He had so much insight into the history of the areas e visited but also guided us to try delicious food in the market. We cannot recommend Ernesto highly enough!

Great day in CDMX - We had a great day! The university was really cool, xochimilco canals on a Monday morning were incredibly relaxing with a beer and some vendor corn and coyocan is beautiful. We loved the artisanal markets and having a private tour was wonderful, with an awesome guide!

5 stars all around - Gerrardo was a very friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. Shared so much history with us on our drives to both destinations. I couldn’t recommend the private boat through Xochimilco more!

A must do! - Ernesto was a fantastic guide for my 11 year old daughter and I! He picked us up right on time in his clean and comfortable car. The trip to Xochimilco and the boat trip on the canals was not crowded and lovely. Ernesto’s historical knowledge was extensive, and kept us both asking more questions. Then we drove to Coyoacan and had a delightful food tasting extravaganza! First Ernesto took us to a fruit stand to try many wonderful and new local fruits. Then we got to try all the insects and spiders! We walked through a lovely market and got high quality souvenirs. He also found us the best churros in the city, and we visited a beautiful church as well. All this with lots of history sprinkled in. This trip is a must do in Mexico City and we highly recommend Ernesto!

Fun, colourful, knowledgeable and accommodating guide. - Fabulous day trip from start to finish. Frank was friendly, welcoming and very knowledgeable. He accommodated our needs and was easy company. Loved the boats. Would have liked longer. We payed extra for Mariachi and Frank advised on this. Which was welcome. Our only reason for not giving 5 is we had a silver student board with us who was trying to sell his jewellery. Whilst we appreciate his skill and him trying to earn some $$. We didn’t ask him to join us and wasn’t aware that’s what he was there for (we thought he was part of boat team). It detracted from how we wanted to enjoy the time and was awkward. Would have preferred to have been asked if this was ok. Highly recommend frank ans the day trip aside from that.
