Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

*Likely to sell out: Based on Viator’s booking data and information from the provider from the past 30 days, it seems likely this experience will sell out through Viator, a Tripadvisor company.

    This was a very fun experience! Ulysses was a great guide and kept the fun activities going. I wish the lunch was a bit more substantial. I thought we would see more of the canal and area but we only went a short distance down the canal.

    We had a lovely afternoon and would highly recommend. Pako, the company owner, was super friendly and shared some great stories. Left us some floutas (chicken and hibiscus), lots of beer and a tasty bottle of tequila. Would have liked a few more snack like salsa and chips....but you can purchase snacks along the way. Roberto, our navigator and poleman, listened to what we did and did not want to do. Fun experience and loved inviting Mariachi bands on our boat to serenade us. A "must do" when in Mexcio City!

    The Xochimilco boat tour was such an incredible group activity. The staff was well prepared and had activities planned for our group on the boat. Dana was an epic host and made the entire experience so fun, it was perfect for our bachelorette event!

    Joss was an amazing guide, knowledgable and fun to be with. She took us to the less touristy places which is what we wanted to see how the locals live. We learned about Xochimilco’s history as we walked through it. We climbed up ancient ruins and witnessed a Mayan ceremony celebrating the new year in progress. The lunch was simple and nice. The grand finale was a visit to an ajolotario and we learnt about what is being done to preserve this rare species. It was overall an amazing day with Joss. I highly recommend it and especially her as a guide. Her English is good.

    It is a ride on trajieneras adorned with flowers or named after some famous people in the water. It is very nice to walk in a teajinera in company since it is very enjoyable, in it you can talk and enjoy the surrounding landscape. You can also see places that characterize the place, since it passes through the forest of the dolls among others.

    Natural setting for relaxation on a Mexican version of the Gondola. Ironically, the air was cleaner than those found in other parts of the city...

    We were fortunate to visit CDMX during the week and enjoyed a lovely time on the water. It was just the two of us and so peaceful. We had excellent tacos and cold beer included and after the crazy city traffic it was a delightful change of pace. I believe this experience can be as lively as the group you are with and understand it can be quite a party. Fun to pass boats with complete mariachi bands ready to entertain.

    We opted for a private tour to maximize our time in Mexico City. This tour included a visit to Coyoacán, Diego Riveras home and the Xochimilco boat experience. Our guide, Garbine, and driver, Damien, picked us up promptly at the JW Marriott at 10:00am and we headed to Coyoacán which took about 40 minutes. Garbine explained the history of the area and introduced us to different foods at the market. The market reminded us of a smaller Boqueria like in Barcelona, but not touristy at all. Of course we had to see the insect delicacies but declined to try any. There were even scorpions covered in chocolate. There were also places to sit and eat that we might try when we come back. We did try some street food though, which was good.
    We also toured the artisanal market which had a wide variety of crafts but many of the vendors were still closed for the holiday week. There is a trade off coming during the holiday week— less traffic, but some shops are closed. Next we visited Diego Riveras home which is connected to Fridas by a bridge. Diego also has a collection of ancient artifacts from the region on display. We then headed south of the city to Xochimilco. We ordered lunch in advance and ate on the boat. It was really peaceful because not many boats were out. Apparently on the weekends many families celebrate birthdays and these are big party boats. Vendors will also come up to sell flowers, food, drinks while you are cruising. Mariachis also come by if you want them to sing for you. Garbine was a super knowledgeable guide. She has a passion for the foods of Mexico, the history and is a student of anthropology so her stories about the areas were really interesting. Garbine and Damien really made this a great excursion and we’d recommend this tour.
