Private Tour To Xochimilco, Coyoacan And The World Of Frida Kahlo

What a wonderful day trip with our guide Hermes. He is very cultured, knows the city, its history, and current events. He makes you feel like you’re out with family. We visted Xochimilco, Frida Khalo museum and Coyoacan. Tried a little bit of everything and learned a lot. Highly recommended!

We had a great experience with Esmre and Carlos. The tour was perfect and we appreciated the history and personalities. We would highly recommend.

I really hate to write a negative review and I told myself I’d just let it go but when we went to lunch and our guide Oscar scrolled Instagram the entire time I decided that was enough. This tour could not have been more boring. He was definitely phoning it in on all fronts. He seems like a lovely person but either it was a bad day or he needs to find a new line of work. I was so excited to see Coyoacan but honestly his lack of enthusiasm was contagious and my kids and I could not wait to get back to our hotel. Also he did not join us in the Frida Kahlo museum and all the other guides I saw were taking their guests through and giving them details. That would have made the entire experience more interesting. I work in a customer service profession and would never scroll my phone with clients. Even my 2 teen boys I was traveling with did not. This was an extremely expensive private tour that I decided to splurge on and regretted almost from the first minute Oscar met us at the car. It was a total bummer. On the plus side our driver was lovely, a safe driver with a clean car.

Excellent day trip to xochimilico canals. A relaxing boat ride along the canals as we visited early in the day. Oscar walked us through the district and explained clearly the history of the area. We had a quick coffee at a lovely local cafe before going to Frida kohle museum. We had pre bought tickets this was useful as it was very busy. Oscar took us for lunch at a local taco restaurant which was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend Oscar his knowledge and spoken English was excellent

Such a great tour!! Great wealth of knowledge about the city, historical significance and locations. A defínete recommend if you are traveling to Mexico City!!

Our Driver Mr. Hermes who was our tour guide also was excellent, after the beautiful boat ride he took us to other several places, he not only was a good and friendly person but he was very knowledgeable too and was telling the history of anywhere he was taking us, he went out of his way to do the best he could do for us, his English also was very good and we will recommend him to anyone who could get him as a tour guide .

Howard was a good guide, very knowledgeable. Ricardo our driver was super thoughtful and considerate. He came over with an umbrella when it was sunny and surprised us with our favorite soda! Definitely request Ricardo as your driver!

Howard was an incredible tour guide! He was patient, kind, and so informative. He loves history and culture! We highly recommend a tour with Howard!

The tour got off to a lightly rocky start when the driver went to the wrong pickup location. However, we rebounded and were picked up 10 minutes later. Xochilmilco was wonderful - it is nice that this tour makes it your first stop, so you can really see the canals without being in gridlock with the rest of the boats. From there, we went straight to coyocan, skipping San Angel because of traffic. While we agreed with Monica (our guides) recommendation, we did specifically book this tour because it included San Angel. Casa Azul was marvelous. Overall, both Monica and our driver (did not catch his name) were kind, friendly and helpful, but we would have preferred more information or guidance about what we were seeing, the history, and why it was important. We just kind of went along with only friendly conversation - not any of the info you would expect a tour guide to provide.

We loved the boat tour, it was morning so very mellow which was great for my family w kids ages 9,11,14.. The other highlights were tostadas in the coyocan market and Frida's house. Sergio was accommodating, kind, professional . And patient while we walked the 2 markets and chose nice handicraft souvenirs.

After much research, so glad we booked this trip. As others have noted, although it is a group tour, we were the only ones and had our own driver and guide. Ricardo our driver was excellent and Sergio our guide was super informative and helpful, buying us snacks and giving us tips. This trip is the best value in terms of saving time and getting to see each area properly. Yes, it is more expensive than other tours but you get to spend proper time in each area and it is essentially a private tour; we got the same boat ride for 1 hour as bigger groups and as we arrived early, we got to go further and see more of the canal even if it wasn't as lively, we walked around San Angel for about 45minutes with the guide, stopping on the way to take pictures of the University Library and Stadium, in Cocoyan, we went to Frida Kahlo and then went to the market for a delicious tostados lunch and stopped for coffee and churros as we walked round the town. The day was around 9am to 4.30pm. Other tours we looked at for the same trip (without San Angel which was gorgeous) were 7.50am to 6pm and, as the traffic is really bad, I imagine they would have been later as we saw such tours arriving about 45minutes after us at Xochimilco and having read reviews, it seems that those larger tours have to choose between Frida Kahlo or a tour of Cocoyan whereas we got both and Cocoyan is so lovely and the market and food fabulous, you would not want to miss it! My only suggestion would have been that we joined other small groups on the canal as it wasn't as fun just having a boat for us 2 and would have been fine given that we expected a group tour!

My friends and I went on a tour with Sergio to Xochimilco, Diego Rivera’s collection and a wonderfully charming neighborhood with a food market and art market. The entire experience was magical! Sergio is such an expert and wonderful teacher in a wide range of subjects. From Aztec art to the geographical history of Mexico City, his stories and anecdotes were luminescent. I would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Mexico City and cannot thank Sergio enough!

We had a wonderful time. Ginny was so nice and had so much knowledge, she took us to find some amazing food. Our driver Ricardo was also very helpful and kind he even helped us find a place to change our money even though it was out of the way. Definitely a great experience

This was our second time in two years to Xochimilco. Although it was a group tour, just my friend and I had booked it, so our guide, Ricardo, could tailor it to our wishes. We enjoyed the Coyocan market and walked the whole thing, buying fruits and souvenirs and having fun. We decided to forgo the Blue House since we visited last year. We spent an extra hour at Xochimilco and Ricardo also drove us through the plant market next door. Nice!

Thank you very much Octavio for taking us to the most beautiful places and being our guide. We had a great time! Also for being our security guard to all the places we pass! We feel very safe. 100% recommended this tour!
