Marisol was an excellent tour guide—her communication, engagement, and check-ins made us feel comfortable and welcomed from the start. She is incredibly knowledgeable about Xochimilco, and because it’s her hometown, you could truly sense the pride she has in sharing her culture and history with us. That passion made every story and explanation feel authentic and meaningful. She gave us experiences that were both amazing and unique, taking us beyond the typical tourist spots and into hidden corners that felt genuinely special. It was refreshing to see Xochimilco through the eyes of someone who grew up there, and the “off the beaten path” touches made the day unforgettable. Marisol not only guided us, but also created a connection—she made sure we were engaged, comfortable, and immersed in the experience. If you’re looking for a tour that combines professionalism, local expertise, and genuine hospitality, I highly recommend booking with her. What made the experience stand out was the balance between the must-see highlights and the unique, off-the-beaten-path stops we would have never discovered on our own. Each stop felt intentional, not rushed, and she added meaningful context that brought everything to life. She made us feel at ease, encouraged questions, and created a fun, welcoming atmosphere. We came away with not just beautiful memories but also a deeper appreciation of the town and its people. Marisol made the tour feel less like a transaction and more like spending the day with a passionate local friend. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an authentic, memorable experience.
It’s wonderful to hear Marisol made your experience in Xochimilco so meaningful — her passion, local knowledge, and warm hospitality clearly turned the day into something truly special, with a perfect balance of highlights and hidden gems. Thank you for such a heartfelt recommendation!
A pleasant and surprising walk with a thousand colors and typical atmospheres. Lots of traffic on the canal but overall it’s smooth! It’s perfect for a family outing.
I had never booked any experiences through Tripadvisor, this was the first (and would have to think twice before trying it again) since the tour never materialized. I paid on the 29th of December and received an email, indicating that I would get an email with a survey and more details "shortly" to custom our PRIVATE & PERSONALIZED tour. Never heard from anybody back. Since our tour was scheduled for the 1st of January, I got concerned and tried to contact the operator and the guide the day prior, the 31st of December. Again, no reply. I finally got a communication at 10:40 am of the "day of" the tour which was scheduled for 12:00 noon. By that time, I had already made other plans and cancelled it trough my CC. Overall, it was very unfortunate and disappointing. Most of all, unprofessional. Hopefully, someone from the coordinating company reads this message and can fix this so that it doesn't happen again.
We had a great time with Roberto, he has a wealth of knowledge about the surrounding area. Roberto also pointed out an incredible seafood restaurant that we had the best meal during our stay.
Hello 1AlanP Great to hear Roberto not only gave you a great Xochimilso experience, but also helped your taste buds get the best seafood in Mexico City. It's lovely to hear he shared his knowledge and passion for the city and floating gardens with you. We hope to host you again, in not in Mexico City, then in any of our 60 cities worldwide. Regards Liezel
Roberto was a fantastic guide. He is extremely knowledgeable and very personable. He made our tour memorable and special! Could not reccomend him enough!
Hello Will Glad to hear you had such a wonderful experience with Roberto in Mexico City. Roberto is one of our best hosts and it is always lovely to hear such good feedback. I do hope we will be able to host you again, if not in Mexico City, in one of our other 60 cities worldwide. Kindest Liezel
We had a great tour that included visiting the market, tasting local foods and then the boat ride down the lagoon. Our guides were informative, had a good sense of humor and made for a nice day!
This is the first time we have booked with City Unscripted as we wanted to pick where we went for our tour. Alan was our guide for the day and he made this tour exactly to our interests. Alan was the most knowledgeable guide we had in Mexico, he knew everything about everything it didn't matter what topic we threw at him he was able to discuss and give us the history and cultural perspectives. Alan went out of his way to ensure the tour was accommodating to our needs, which included taking us to find a napolas necklace, which included a couple of markets. Alan took us on an ecological experience on our floating gardens adventure and then we headed to the flower markets where the flowers actually come from the floating gardens, This is where I was in heaven, if you love bonsai, cactus, or really flowers from any description you MUST go here, it is truly magic. Alan then took us to the university and the sculpture scene shaped like a volcano, which was also great to see and hear about, then he went once again out of his way to detour past Frida Kahlo house and museum filling us in on the history. Alan knew everything about everything to do with Mexico and was so enjoyable having conversations with him. If you want a personal experience please ask for Alan, I will definitely book with City Unscripted on our next holiday.
Well first of all, we had a wonderful guide for the day and floating gardens was part of it.What a relaxing and pleasant experience this was. A couple of hours and the canal was a live with local music, crafts and food. I totally recommend it and if you can snag Alejandro as a guide for this or any other aviator experience do it!
Lovely relaxing couple of hours on the boat with John our guide from city unscripted. Highly recommended
We enjoyed the day very much, especially our guide and the Delores Omeda museum. The museum was very definitely the highlight. We also appreciated going to a quiet area in the canals.
