¡Muchas gracias por su reseña y por acompañarnos en el tour! Nos alegra muchísimo saber que disfrutó la experiencia y que Omar y Lesly le hicieron sentir tan bien atendido. Ese trato cálido y cercano es exactamente lo que buscamos en cada salida. Esperamos tenerle de vuelta pronto — ¡Xochimilco siempre tiene algo nuevo por descubrir!
This trip was truly one of a kind. Most of the boats stay in the touristic canal, this one also visits the ecological side and stops at the ajolote shrine and isla de muñecas, both of which were so worth it and a must-see. Photos don’t really do justice to the beauty of Xochimilco, it’s something you have to see in person. Eddie was a fantastic guide, he kept the fun and drinks flowing, and really encouraged us to get to know our fellow passengers. He was very knowledgeable and funny, 10/10. Jesus was a pro rower and kept us safe in the busy canals. I received detailed communication via WhatsApp the evening before regarding the meeting point including photos and directions. Lunch was included and there was a vegetarian option which was much appreciated. I would recommend this tour to anyone interested in visiting Xochimilco!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled you enjoyed exploring both the touristic and ecological sides of Xochimilco with us. It’s great to hear Eddie and Jesús made your experience fun, safe, and memorable. We truly appreciate your kind words and recommendation — we hope to welcome you back soon for another unforgettable day on the canals!
Luis and the rower were absolutely wonderful on our tour along the canal and to Doll Island. Luis was fun and kept an expert attention to detail of providing history and just the type of activities you wanted from the experience. 10 out of 10!
Thank you so much for your kind words. We’re very happy to hear you enjoyed the Xochimilco tour and the visit to Doll Island. Luis and our rower will be delighted to know you appreciated their attention to detail. Your 10/10 truly means a lot to us.
