This was the best experience I had in Mexico City! I really enjoyed and had fun with friends. The food was awesome and I loved the Xochimilco landscape so much. It was the perfect balance between having fun, but enjoying being outdoors! I would repeat this experience anytime and recommend it with anyone visiting Mexico City.
The tour was very nice, it was a good experience. Everything is good! The guide and everything else was perfect.
It was an excellent experience with friends, with good hosts, beautiful views of nature and good mezcal! I will definitely return.
I would highly recommend this experience. We went there with our family and friends and we had a great time. There was a lot of history and fun time!
Amazinng experience once in a lifetime want to come back sooon
I wish the entree and tequila options would be more versatile. We unfortunately were not a fan of the tamales provided. Other than that the staff was amazing both the rowers and the host of the day. They were such a fun time and super interactive. The price is accurate and makes complete sense. I wish the visit could be longer because we loved it so much
The experience was excellent at all times! They are very well organized and the tour, besides being very interesting, becomes super fun! I had a great time and would do it again as many times as necessary!
Great and unforgettable experience
We went to Mexico City for a Professional Development conference and then headed to Xochimilco. Great experience all around - the stories told by our guide, the food, drinks and bonding with colleagues. Three hours was a good amount of time on the “trajinera” too. Cannot wait to plan a family/ friends Xochimilco experience with Paseana again.
I had previously been to Xochimilco to a different Embarcadero and tour agency, this was definitely more memorable, enjoyful and fun overall. The meeting instructions were clear and our guide Ale was very attentive. My group enjoyed the mix of history and facts at the start and then getting to know the group and dancing the rest of the way!
