We booked a private full-day tour of Xochimilco, Coyoacán and the Frida Kahlo Museum, and it was amazing! Our guide, Gabriel, made the experience unforgettable by providing fascinating history the entire ride down, which perfectly set the stage for the day. The Xochimilco boat ride was a major highlight—we had the boat completely to ourselves! We got to relax and enjoy delicious snacks along with amazing, freshly made mango margaritas right on the water. He kept the history coming during our walking tour of Coyoacán and while we waited to enter the Frida Kahlo Museum. We also stopped at a local churro spot, which was a sweet touch. We had a truly great day from start to finish, and we cannot recommend Gabriel enough! We highly recommend him for a personalized and memorable touch. Thank you, Gabriel!

Gabriel was wonderful - very knowledgeable. Thanks for a great experience
Gabriel was an outstanding tour guide! He provided the entire tour in both English and Spanish, making everything easy and enjoyable for our group. He picked us up in a comfortable vehicle and took us to Xochimilco, where we enjoyed an amazing breakfast aboard a beautiful trajinera flower boat. We mentioned that we wanted to see axolotls, and Gabriel made it happen! We even had the opportunity to hold lizards and giant python snakes, which was an unforgettable experience. The tour continued with a wonderful walking tour of Coyoacán, ending at Casa Azul, the former home of Frida Kahlo. This was especially great because tickets were sold out online, yet Gabriel was able to make the visit possible. From start to finish, everything was well organized, fun, and memorable. I highly recommend this tour—100% worth it!
After researching tours for my first visit to Mexico, I came across this personalized option—-and so glad I did. Gabe was so incredibly knowledgeable and his love for his city shone throughout the day.
Gabriel was great. He was very knowledgeable and attentive. He went out of his way to ensure I could visit the Frieda museum. It was such a nice day!
Highly recommend this tour!! Gabriel was an amazing guide and we learned a lot about Mexico City!
Great tour with this company, we had fun at the boat, highly recommended if you are coming with friends.
Our driver Edgar was very friendly and professional. It was nice to have a private car to be driven around the city. Given the long distances, it was great to have that private car and it helped to have him organize the trajinera for Xochimilco. We principally did the tour in order to get the almost impossible to obtain tickets for the Frida Kahlo museum but were pleasantly surprised at how the entire tour went. We didn’t realize there was also a tour of the neighborhood around the museum, which included walking through the market.
My family and I had a spectacular experience with Derek! Our trip was filled with lots of history, fun facts, and an absolutely great time! We made one change with the Frida Kahlo house and instead went to Anahuacalli Museum. What a delight. It was filled so many artifacts, I could have stayed all day. Xochimilco was a dream and a check on my bucket list! From the Mariachis, the snacks, specialty drinks, Xochimilco was everything I hoped it would be! Coyoacán was so intensely beautiful with all of the colors and visuals. A great time was spent with Derek! She made it so special! I would recommend her again and again!!!!
Everything was absolute perfection. Our guides went out of their way to ensure this was an experience we would never forget. They even took us our of the way to find an awesome coffee shop at my wife's request. Absolutely worth every penny!
We loved the tour. Gabriel is amazing and knows a lot about the history of Mexico
I went with my family and a bb , I recommend the private service as we did everything at our own pace and without haste, very good care
Excellent service, I am a disabled senior citizen and they were excellent. All the time I had help from the guide and the driver. Besides, being a private tour I felt safer for these wholesalers. 100% recommended
Celebrate the inn of the company in Xochimilco and we organized the whole event, food, drink, horn for music and mariachi, everything was super well organized, a mega atmosphere, additional to it included going to the museum of Frida khalo and Derek had everything well organized with the guides of the museum, they were on time and attentive to the people, super recommended
They really make you feel the experience. For each place visited you are soaking in its beautiful history. They are punctual and attentive.
It was amazing, I liked the Service that provide care, really make the tour very enjoyable as they wrap you in the stories that tell you with the data that you can learn from what they are telling you Excellent Service I recommend
It has been an excellent experience! Derek picked me up on time and we spent 5 hours walking around Xochimilco and Coyoacán. The boat ride was quiet and the view of other boats with their colors and designs made everything much more beautiful. I bought silver jewelry from Carlos, I recommend them! Lovely pieces! Then we went to the Coyoacán market and I was amazed with the colors and local offer. Derek is very friendly, with excellent level of conversation and great Service. We crowned it all by eating corns with mayonnaise, cheese and chili powder. Delicious! I found it a perfect way to tour these two iconic places of Mexico City. I recommend them!!
Everything was excellent, the route and the explanations very good, plus they have flexibility if you want to stop for a moment somewhere, it is perfect if you want to know Coyoacán and even more if you have never climbed a trajinera.
Everything was amazing!!! We are very happy, we hope to come back soon and will take the Service again! Everything was flawless 🙏🏻
It was an extremely complete Tour where they were coupled to our schedules together of all the stops we requested both as tourist sites and of interest, such as the greenhouses to admire beautiful flowers the Xochimilco, the house of Hernán Cortes and the main church of Coyoacán. Likewise we were given the best recommendations of local food starting with the famous chilakil cakes, following the best fins and ice cream in Coyoacán and ending with the best tacos of Canasta that I have come to taste and at an excellent price. I would totally repeat a tour with Via Mexa.
