Awesome day spent on the boat in Xoximilco and Coyoacan. Boat tour was relaxing as that was the first part of the morning and not that many tourists were out yet. We appreciated going on the boat first. Coyoacan is a great town with lots of history. Learned a lot and then went to the market to get some of the best tacos I’ve ever had. Gerardo was a great guide. He made the tour informative and fun. He is an awesome dude. Definitely recommend this tour for all groups and ages.

Local knowledge, delicacies, and culture galore!

Francisco was an amazing guide! He was right on time to pick us up and shared an astounding amount of local knowledge with us. We enjoyed every stop and felt that there was a nice balance between the guided parts and the parts of the tour where we were left to wander/shop on our own. Francisco was amendable if we needed more time in one location and was always willing to answer our questions. He introduced us to some of the best coffee and churros we've ever had in Coyoacán! I definitely recommend doing this tour, it was one of the highlights of our trip to Mexico City!

Operator response

Hehe the Best churros!! Great we want this! The best Churros, the best Chocolate and the best smiles! Thank you for sharing your experience I feel so glad! Nos vemos la próxima vez! We have many activities if you write me directly the next time!

Great day in CDMX

We had a great day! The university was really cool, xochimilco canals on a Monday morning were incredibly relaxing with a beer and some vendor corn and coyocan is beautiful. We loved the artisanal markets and having a private tour was wonderful, with an awesome guide!

Operator response

Thank you Laura! Hearing you had a great time with Frank makes my heart happy and proud of this project in which we all have put our hearts and passion. Hope to see you next time!

Fun, colourful, knowledgeable and accommodating guide.

Fabulous day trip from start to finish. Frank was friendly, welcoming and very knowledgeable. He accommodated our needs and was easy company. Loved the boats. Would have liked longer. We payed extra for Mariachi and Frank advised on this. Which was welcome. Our only reason for not giving 5 is we had a silver student board with us who was trying to sell his jewellery. Whilst we appreciate his skill and him trying to earn some $$. We didn’t ask him to join us and wasn’t aware that’s what he was there for (we thought he was part of boat team). It detracted from how we wanted to enjoy the time and was awkward. Would have preferred to have been asked if this was ok. Highly recommend frank ans the day trip aside from that.

Operator response

Dear Joanne Thank you so much for your kind words, we are happy to hear you had a great experience with Frank! We are very sorry about the silver student situation, unfortunately we are not always in control of the vendor situation in Xochimilco. However we will try to avoid this situation again in future tours to make this experience better. Your comments are very appreciated so we can fix those small details in the future.
