Fun Day in Xochimilco Trajinera, will definitely do it again! - It was an amazing experience!!! I from Mexico City and I have been in Xochimilco so many times before but this was by far the most fun I ever had in a trajinera (the boat). The tour guide, Christine was not only fun but also very knowledgeable, we learned a lot about the history of this place, the local culture and wild life, also about tequila and mezcal, and interesting facts about Xochimilco and Mexico City. She was so very high energy and making sure everyone was having fun. Isa was also very helpful from the beginning when we were making the booking and making sure we had all the information we needed for a great experience, even when the Uber driver tried to trick us to take us to a different place insisting that the Embarcadero de Cuemanco was closed, Isa texted me not to trust him because that’s very common that the Uber driver will try to take you somewhere else to make some extra money, unfortunately we were not the only ones, same thing happened to another couple in our group. Despite the unfortunate Uber experience, we had a great time and would totally recommend this tour!!!
