Description

Pako Tours offers a "Trajineras Fiesta" to travelers from all over the world each year! Float along the historic canals enjoying Mexican cerveza, tequila tastings, live mariachi music, delicious fresh food, singalongs and dancing with fellow fiesta goers and new friends...what more could you ask for? Whether you are a group of friends or family celebrating a birthday, honeymoon, anniversary or upcoming wedding, we take pleasure in customizing your experience to be joyous, festive and memorable. Pako, your lead host, a Mexico City Chilango, has traveled the world, is a soccer fanatic, best known for his dreadlocks and big smile, and a passion to share the magic of Xochimilco, just like his Abuela (grandma) when she offered trajineras tours decades ago. Along with our team of local boat rowers and guides, and our amazing virtual travel concierge Brandee from USA, we aim to offer an experience of a lifetime in one of Mexico City's most unique places!

Had an amazing trip to Mexico with my friends! The entire experience was unforgettable — beautiful places, vibrant culture, and so many fun moments together. Everything was well organized and we got to explore some stunning spots, enjoy great food, and learn a bit about the local culture too. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and it made the trip even more special sharing it with friends. Definitely a tour I would recommend to anyone looking for a fun and memorable getaway. Can’t wait to travel again!

Great time! A must for a Canadian!

Such a great little tour with just enough tequila and snacks to enjoy the history of Xochimilco! Got to see the beautiful history with a fun and friendly tour guide. Thank you, Jimmy & Pako! Also, they accommodated our illness and moved it to a different day. Was amazing!

We had a wonderful experience with Pako Tours for the Xochimilco boat ride. From start to finish, everything was handled professionally and thoughtfully. The communication was clear, the process was smooth, and we felt well taken care of throughout. The boat experience itself was relaxing, fun, and beautifully organized, making it a memorable way to enjoy Xochimilco. Our guide was courteous and attentive, ensuring we were comfortable and able to fully enjoy the ride. We truly appreciated the attention to detail and the calm, friendly approach. Highly recommend Pako Tours to anyone looking for a well-organized and enjoyable Xochimilco experience.
