Mexico-Stad Het eiland van poppen, spelletjes en drankjes
Beschrijving
Xochimilco is een magische plek die je de natuur, fauna en de mystiek van het poppeneiland biedt. Houd je van horror? Dan wil je een van de meest indrukwekkende en angstaanjagende bestemmingen ter wereld niet missen. Het originele poppeneiland, in Xochimilco (Mexico); een klein eiland waar je een landschap vindt dat je op zijn zachtst gezegd kippenvel bezorgt. Er zijn verschillende tijden om uit te kiezen, maar de meest angstaanjagende is zonder twijfel de nacht. Dat is echter niet het enige wat u gaat doen. Tijdens deze tour krijg je de kans om plezier te hebben met de activiteiten die we voor je hebben, zoals traditionele Mexicaanse spellen, en je krijgt ook de kans om traditioneel Mexicaans eten te proberen, en het beste van alles: drankjes zijn inbegrepen. Aan de andere kant begrijpen we dat de toegang tot het Poppeneiland een beetje ingewikkeld kan zijn, daarom hebben we een speciale optie ingeschakeld voor bezoekers die alleen naar het eiland willen en terugkeren.

Alan and crew were kind, professional, and fun. Alan is both a warm host and a knowledgeable guide. His gifts as a storyteller and teacher are evident, as is his passion for sharing the culture and ecology of this very unique place. Along with our 16 year old, 11 year old, and their aunt and uncle we visited the Island of the Dolls - it is absolutely worthwhile to hear the whole backstory from a local - and got to visit the axolotl sanctuary to learn about their incredible evolution. Along the way we saw all kinds of plant and animal life and had a hilarious time learning local drinking customs as a bonus 😄 The signage at the entrance gate to the meeting place is not super obvious at first, but eventually you'll find it, or the crew will find you to let you know you're in the right place!
Take this tour if you want to skip the party boats and learn the real history behind Xochimilco. Alan and his team were amazing - super knowledgeable and focused on sustainability and the indigenous roots of the area. The ride was incredibly beautiful and peaceful and we enjoyed great tequila, mezcal and local snacks. We brought our kids and they had a great time playing the games. All in all 10 out of 10!!
This tour was the highlight of our time in Ciudad Mexico! We absolutely loved it! It was well organized. personal, fun and interesting. Alan was an amazing tour guide. We had so much fun learning about the Island of the dolls. It was so intriguing and scary all at the same time. Alan teaches you about the legend and also explains the need to respect the island too. There are games and music and fun to be had through out as well. It is a tour not to be missed.
Alan was a great tour guide. Small nice group. Super fun experience. I highly recommend this tour. Free margaritas and snacks too
this was so fun, the guides were friendly and had such a good warm vibe. being on the boat was very relaxing while games and chat added some fun. the time on the island itself was good. highly recommend.
It was a wonderful experience. The hosts were great and knowledgeable of the history of the area. Fun and informative. This is the real island of the dolls. They were also easy to communicate with because the pick-up location can be a bit tricky. Suggest a florescent sign.
Alan was a great host and the boat trip to the island was great, as was the return trip with the games. The jury is out for me about the island. The story/legend is 'the sell' - the island itself, some will say weird and spooky and some will say grotty and tatty. Neither are wrong. The biggest issue is getting there. It's time consuming and expensive but understandably they have not attempted to coordinate pick-ups given the vastness of Mexico City.
We had the best time with Alan and his crew on this canal tour! Alan was super helpful when the Uber driver dropped us at the wrong place, and so knowledgeable about the Xochimilco canals. He kept us entertained with the spooky stories about La Isla de las Munecas and kept the vibes fun when we were on the water too. We enjoyed fine tequillas and mezcals and played Lotteria! I cannot recommend this tour highly enough!
This tour was the highlight of our trip to Mexico City! Boat, captain, Adrian, and tour guide Alan were so much fun and provided cocktails, games, and lots of interesting information about their home area. A stop at the island of the dolls made the trip even more fun. I highly recommend using this to our company. Be sure to stay away from the large corporate tours that are offered. Adrian and Alan grew up in this area and offer a very personal touch to their tour.
This was the greatest experience. Alan was so friendly and knowledgeable. We were not hassled with trying to buy anything and we had plenty of time to visit the island. The food, drinks, and games were so fun and engaging. The entire trip lasted about 2-3 hrs. It was perfect for what we wanted, not too long, fun, no hassle experience…would recommend 1000x
