Xochimilco all'alba in canoa o kayak e colazione biologica

The tour was super fun, and Eduardo was a fantastic driver and helped ensure that we were the right place, and was right there when we returned. He was even so nice as to pay for a bottle of water when we didn’t have small change.

Excellent tour, a really great way to visit Xochimilco that is quieter, more intimate, and allows you to appreciate the natural environment. Great for wildlife and bird lovers. Would do again!

Excellent private tour! Saw birds, sunrise organic garden at chinampa. Very informative Highly recommend Marcos as a guide.

Xochimilco is such an amazingly beautiful place and I feel so lucky to have gone on this amazing tour. Marcos, our guide, shared so much information about the ecosystem and the history of the park, as well as about the Xochimilcas’ farming methods and how they have been adapted for modern practice on the farm we toured. I really can’t stop thinking and telling my friends about everything I learned. Seeing Xochimilco at sunrise and then again in daylight was lovely. The breakfast was absolutely delicious and shared with pleasant company. If you are interested in learning more about the history of Mexico City, if you love nature, this tour is for you. I feel I should have paid more!

Nothing like experiencing Xochilmilco at dawn, learning about the history and biodiversity, getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Marcos was a phenomenal guide and Eduardo as our driver. Yes you have to wake up early but well worth it!

An enlightening, tranquil experience. Pick up was timely at 4:45 a.m. at our hotel in Roma Norte, with a timely arrival of 5:25 a.m. at the launch site in Xochimilco. It was surreal to see the scenery blanketed in fog and morning dew — as we made our way down the channels to where we would eventually have pretty salad with warm maiz bread — transform to brilliant colors upon sunrise. The guide (Marco) was knowledgeable and personable. Our driver, Eduardo, was a delight. He loves classic rock, as much as my husband. So we listened to Police, Pink Floyd, Van Halen, the Stones, etc. on the way to and from Xochimilco. He also knew all kinds of historical and cultural facts, providing smart commentary during the drive. Some tips: • In late February, it was chilly at the launch site and on the water. They provided blankets, but dress for what felt like the high 30s (Fahrenheit). • If you booked through Trip Advisor, expect a communication the evening before via the app for the name of your driver, vehicle info, and time of pickup. We screwed up our time, thinking 5:30 a.m. was the hotel pickup time and didn’t think to check for a communication the day before for the actual pickup time.

Xochimilco is a gem. Our driver Eduardo confirmed the trip with us the night before and picked us up at our hotel in Reforma. He is very friendly and speaks perfect English. The breakfast served before kayaking was fresh and delicious. We enjoyed a great workout and the amazing natural beauty. The Island of Dolls was a spooky surprise. Highly recommended. 🥰

Terrific experience! Absolutely loved getting to watch the sunrise over the farm. Marcos was an expert and knew so many fascinating facts about the area, the wildlife, and the history. They provided blankets which were clutch because we didn’t realize how cold it would be at sunrise—definitely pack extra layers! But we had an absolute blast. Delicious food, fun games, and gorgeous scenery. The birdwatching was incredible—so many native species! The pickup from our hotel was seamless and the whole team was amazingly communicative throughout. Highly recommend!

This was a great experience. The sunset was beautiful and getting a glimpse into the local ecosystem was amazing. The breakfast was delicious (best cherry tomatoes I've ever had!). The canoe ride was very serene and Marcus was very knowledgeable. Our driver was prompt, professional, and friendly. The whole operations strives for sustainability and conservation. It was very cool to see that they are also working on axolotl conservation!

This was one of our favorite experiences in Mexico City. Rise early to get to the Xochimilco canals to see wildlife, watch the sun come up, and enjoy a meal & hot coffee afterwards. The scenery is stunning. Wear layers. Plan to get wet from paddling. There are double & single kayaks. Bring gloves & a change of clothes. It’s worth the effort to see CDMX from a different angle. Our tour was completely in Spanish so be ready to exercise your listening & speaker skills or follow the crowd.
