Such a great time! Our tour guide Viri was so kind and funny that we were so glad to have booked this experience. I would definitely recommend others to book this during their trip to Mexico!
Overall, we enjoyed this. 2 adults, 16 year old and 4 year old. When searching, it feels obvious this is a drinking/ party boat type of activity. There are some tours offered other places that focus on the culture/ history, but with kids, we wanted a little of the fun, too. This experience had games, drinking, and food. We had a great group and the laughs never stopped. Our girls played the games, and were given drink options suitable for their ages. We did hope for the Axolotl Observatory or other information. We learned the names for boats and floating gardens, but the rest of the time was focused on boat activities, not a lot of looking around/ observing. We are glad we did it, and have happy memories from it.
10/10 Great Experience! I had a great time! This was an awesome experience.
The trip was very interactive. The staff was very friendly!
So fun the guides were excellent and made you laugh and feel welcome a fun outing and a must if you visit CDMX. The guides communicated clearly on pick up locations and was helpful.
Omar and Jesus were amazing and kept the experience packed with entertainment. Would definitely do again!
Carmen and Gus are very good company.
