XOCHIMILCO＆COYOACAN（プライベート）

Our driver tour guide was absolutely amazing! He was so informative and made our trip so fun! He recommended the best taco place for us to eat after our boat tour and we had the best day wandering around.

I tried connecting with our guide through Viator and through customer support a few times, but we couldn’t reach our guide to tell them our pick up location had changed. To play it safe, we walked to the old location and our guide did meet us there. The boat tour isn’t much of anything unless you come prepared to spend more money on everything being sold from other boats. We were hoping for a relaxing float in Xochimilco but you literally cannot get away from being badgered every 5 seconds to buy something. Even the guide on the boat tried to sell us cheap jewelry. The stop in Coyoacan was nice but it’s like walking in any other downtown and there is no information on it. You just get out and wander. Overall, the stops in Xochimilco and Coyocacan were both nice, but you spend more time in traffic than you do at each spot and you don’t learn anything about the history of either. If you want to check them out, just take an Uber. It’ll be cheaper. Maybe you can find a proper tour guide after your Uber drops you off.

Our tour guide Abner was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We were able to see many of the main sites and he gave us the opportunity to get out and walk a few times. Our driver was also amazing...sorry.. forget his name. Abner offered us options on what to see which is the advantage of the private tour. We loved the canal tour...a very unique experience! We had our 2 adult children and 2 granddaughters ages 10 and 13 with us.

This is not a tour I would recommend. There wasn’t good communication in advance. There wasn’t much information provided during the tour. The boat tour itself was crowded and I’d say could be missed. It was a lot of traveling without much reward. It was very much overpriced for the experience.

This was awesome for me as it was very relaxing and it also was good to see how people were making a living on the canals.

It was a great experience, the tour guide was amazing he was very knowledgeable on Mexico City rich history and explained the history of the city surrounding with passion. I defiantly recommend the tour you will have lots of fun in Xochimilco, I do advice to have Mexico currency for shops and tip.

Gabriel was an excellent guide with fluent English. He was well versed in Mexican history. He was also very considerate of the need for many rest stops for an 83 year old woman. There were only myself snd my adult grandson on the tour.

Great time in the gondola on the Xochimilco. We got to see some cool reptiles at one of the little businesses along the shore. Marcelo was a great tour guide!

The canals were a cool experience but our driver was not bilingual as promised. While I know minimal conversational Spanish, I feel like the listing was misleading as it promised a tour guide who was bilingual and can share information about the beautiful town of Coyoacán and about Frida Kahlo. He left us to go on the boat ourselves with a non-English speaking guide so we didn’t get to do anything but sit there and go up and down the canals silently. There was one complimentary beer but no fiesta vibe as shown in all other listings for Xochimilco. While I did enjoy the private boat ride and having a very kind private driver, the listing made it seem like we would have much more (commentary, learnings) for the expensive price of $129. I think it’s a great experience for those who want a mellow and private trip, but not for people who wanted something more festive or to actual engage and learn from the guide.

It was a fun experience. It was a beautiful day that day, and the boat ride was nice, relaxing, and calm.
