Mexico City Tours - David and Alex are incredible. I cannot recommend them enough. They are so knowledgeable and friendly. They make everything fun and informative. We did Teotihuacan and Xochimilco with them and we will recommend the to everyone we know. They even kept the attention of our 3 kids, even a 4 year old! They are very kind. We had the best time and learned so much. Do not hesitate to book their services. You will not be disappointed. They also will provide you with great recommendations outside of the tours. Great all around!!

Great Private Trip to Xochimilco - We really enjoyed our trip to Xochimilco with David and Hector. They were excellent guides. We enjoyed not having to share our boat with a larger group. The canal was relaxing and all of the vendor boats were quite interesting. If you want to go to Xochimilco, book it with them.

Fantastic experience in Mexico City! - Our excursion with David and Alex was top notch from beginning to end. They were prompt with our pickup time and passed the travel time with facts, history, and culture. Upon arrival, they let us explore the area and buy some souvenirs before embarking upon our boat journey. They also talked our group into trying crickets! The spices they use make it pretty tasty—try it! On the boat, they helped us secure a mariachi band experience, an up close and personal look at exotic and indigenous animals, and order elotes. They provided drinks and snacks on the boat and explained the history behind the experience. Having tour guides who were personable, friendly, and able to help us translate made this excursion one of our favorites on this trip. If you’re looking for a safe, reliable, and fun experience in Mexico City, this company is the one to hire.

Family trip to Xochimilco - We had a fantastic boat ride and trip overall! Five adults and four kids ages 8-12. Alex, Rodolopho and Davíd were our guides and were amazing. They were patient, got us everywhere safe, and full of information. We all got to learn more about the beautiful city of Mexico City, the culture and the food, and more. We mentioned wanting to see axolotls during our visit and they found somewhere for us to stop in Xochimilco! We also all tried fried crickets (with their encouragement!) and they turned out to be delicious. Alex could answer every question we had and Davíd helped the kids practice their Spanish. Highly recommend for anything you want to see in and around CDMX!

Fun family experience - We had a great experience with Huapango Travels. Hector and David, our guides, were very friendly and well organized. They picked us up at our hotel and drove us to Xochimilco. Driving was safe and comfortable. The tour on the canals were fun and relaxing. We were able to make some stops to different sites.

Wonderful day on the canals - Had a wonderful day with Alex and David visiting Xochimilco floating gardens. They arranged for our group of 8 to have our own boat, and told us interesting facts about the history and culture of the area. They were very accommodating, bringing long on mariachis when we wanted to har music, but not pressuring us to visit other vendors if we were not interested. Snacks and drinks for us to have the boat, which was very nice. They really tailored the experience to our interests. Bravo, Alex & David!!!

Great place to visit,... - Great place to visit, lots of interesting history. Long drive so make sure to ask for transport in a large enough vehicle (ensure enough full seats for each person) otherwise it is an uncomfortable drive.
