Nelia_C, Dec 2022

City tour is ok. The xochimilco was worst. The lunch was not good not worth the money you paid for and boats were bumping into each other.I can recommend the city tour but not having lunch in the boat

Robert_L, Jul 2022

Ursula is an excellent tour guide, good English and knowledge of history. She makes sure everyone has a good time, highly recommended! The best part was the festive lunch on the boats in the canal, highlight of my trip to CDMX.

Beautiful day trip

Georgia_L, Jan 2022

The day trip was very nice and the guide friendly, but we did not enjoy the food on the boat. It was expensive and tasteless. So better skip that and just have a beer.

Response from Host, Feb 2022

Hello Georgia, Thank you for taking the time to leave your comments, Is good to now you enjoy the tour with us, and I'm sorry you didn't enjoy the food on site :( Hope to see you again soon!

Guide and driver were awesome!

Liz_H, Dec 2021

I had a really fun time on the tour of Mexico City and Xochimilco! The guide and driver, Jose and Rafael, were very sweet. Jose’s English was very good and he did a good job at explaining things and answering questions. Rafael impressed me with his driving skills. At Xochimilco, he backed the van into a very small spot like it was nothing. Still trying to figure out how he did that! Overall, it was a very nice day and I learned a lot. I also got some great souvenirs for my friends/family. I would recommend it to other travelers!

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Hi Liz_H, thank you so much for sharing your experience with us! we are happy to hear you had such an amazing experience with us! For sure I will give your comments to Jose and Rafael :D We hope to see you soon to be part of another great experience! Thank you so much!
