Fly away - What a fantastic experience. Our guide Jafet was excellent and answered all of our questions to put us at ease. The balloon ride itself was superb, we were lucky to have a perfect morning and sunrise. The pilot did his magic. Highly recommend to anyone

Highly highly recommend... - Highly highly recommend this tour. All logistics were so well organized, and the chinampa tour itself was lovely at sunrise. Saw lots of birds and enjoyed learning about the ecology and agriculture from our thoughtful and enthusiastic guide!

Sunrise on a farm in a preserve…amazing - Well worth the price. Beautiful experience. You might get it cheaper if you book direct but also paying the extra to not have to worry about organizing a ride and such is excellent. We have no regrets.

Peaceful canoe ride and delicious breakfast - Amazing experience and totally worth it. Our canoe rower/guide was Marcus and he was very knowledgeable and clearly passionate about preserving the ecosystem of the area. We learned a lot about the local ecosystem and go to eat a fresh breakfast (most delicious cherry tomatoes I've ever had). The sunrise was beautiful, but much colder than expected. Marcus provided us with fresh blankets, which were a life saver.

Amazing experience - This tour definitely exceeded my expectations! Marcos was a very knowledgable guide. Riding thru the canals at dawn and having breakfast while the sun is rising over the beautiful farm was such a tranquil experience that was made even better because it was just my wife and I. I would absolutely recommend this activity to others wanting an experience immersed in culture, history and supporting agricultural conservation efforts!

The highlight of our trip - What a unique and wonderful experience. Totally different (and IMO so much more appealing) than all the Xochimilco party trips. Our guide Marcos was fabulous and so knowledgeable. We learned a lot. And to see the day break surrounded by 250 species of birds on an organic farm technically in CDMX city limits was a wonderful experience.

Amazing tour. Wear warm shoes. Driver arrives early. - It was an amazing tour that took us on a canoe through the canal before sunrise and before any other tourists arrived. We arrived at an eco-farm/garden where the tour guide and others run. The tour guide was very knowledgable, and we learned about how the farm/garden tries to restore and maintain a healthy eco-system there. Our breakfast was cooked right at the farm with all the ingredients from the garden. The tour is absolutely worth it and the money goes to supporting the farm. Just make sure to wear thick winter clothes and warm shoes. It was very cold in the early morning. The tour guide prepared several blankets for us and that saved my life. But the blankets couldn't over the feet. I was wearing sneakers and regular socks, which were not enough to prevent cold air and dampness from freezing my toes. Also, the description says the activity starts at 5:30am, but it takes about an hour to get there, so the driver may come to pick you up at 4:30am, which is what happened to us. I highly recommend the tour, just be prepared to 1) get up at 4/4:30am and 2) wear warm clothes and shoes.

Great early morning adventure - Great from pick-up to drop off. Driver, guide, etc. all very pleasant, knowledgeable and engaging. This was the opposite experience to party boats (which was what we wanted).

Earlier Risers! - Great experience from pickup to tour to breakfast to drop off. All guides spoke English very well. Favorite part of tour was riding out to the islands in the morning mist.
