Visit To Xochimilco, Coyoacán And Ciudad Universitaria

We spent the first hour picking up people and had to change buses. The bus was ok. Our guide was very nice but her English was very limited. We could tell that she was telling the Spanish speaking members of the group more information. Xochimilco was pretty but it was incredibly packed and felt like a tourist trap. It was very sad to see the water so polluted and not see any native animals. I thought we were visiting the university but it was just a drive past a couple murals. We split from the group was we got to coyocayan since it was easy enough to get back to the city ourselves and gave us time to do what we wanted there. We'd recommend seeing xochimilco but try to find a tour of the ecological area with a knowledgeable guide.

Tour was very informative. Tour guides were very helpful and caring for my mom and aunt. First tour to take us to Estadio Azteca but unfortunately it was closed to remodeling.

The sights themselves were fun and educational. The guide made several inappropriate comments and should stick to “the script.”

Boat ride was excellent. Loved having food on board and listening to mariachi music. Tour operator was excellent and picked me up on time. Could have passed on the silver store.

Well ... no pick up at hotel despite booking with the pick up point (had to pay extra for taxi to meet up point). Change of itinerary, starting at Coyocan (half an hour despite time stated) and included Azteca Stadium. Only 1 hour at Xochimilco despite purchases itinerary. Believe this is a booker (Vuela Viajero) who farms you out to actual operators. Don't trust this middleman.

Driver and tour guide were excellent, both friendly and knowledgeable. Took the time to build a relationship with each participant and made it a memorable trip. Xochimilco was not for us. The canals are very crowded and you don’t really get to see much, just a lot of other boats and people.

Xochimilco was great, not a tourist trap but a recreation day for Mexicans an any visitor. Coyoacán is a must. Colorful and safe neighborhood. NOTE: the tour begins at Coyoacan all the time not at Xochimilco like every agency states. Not time to go to Frida Kahlo museum even if you have the tickets.

The tour was okay, I really only wanted to go to the boats however we did not spend all that long there. The tour appears cheap but you are consistently taken to places where they want you to buy things, food from vendors etc. so including tip it did not turn out to be all that cheap for the day. Some of the stops are pointless eg. Freda museum where they stop for 10 minutes to look at the outside of the museum.

Too crowded, water too dirty!. Expensive food, excellent guide (Aron). Coyoacan was amazing tho! cute place....would go back to it but not to Xochimilco!

We spent an hour driving thru the city to pick up 13 passengers. Much too crowded in the van: 4 people in the 5th row (back.) The guide did not have a microphone. It was hard to hear. We loved the boat trip—colorful and fun, good lunch. Carlos took a nap the entire time, which seemed inappropriate. Since they changed the order of the visits, Carlos took us back to Coyoacan at the end of the day, which we appreciated

We specifically requested an English speaker. We followed the prompt accordingly to get one. However, we we arrived, we were told there were no additional seats on the English speaking van. We then were told, we would meet with the English group at each stop. However, the vans didn’t stay together, so once we got to a spot, the English group has completed that portion of the tour. We didn’t expect the guide to be proficient and would have been ok with moderate English, but our guide knew none. We spent 8 hours with a guide who knew no English. If we had known this beforehand we would have cancelled the trip and possibly booked on a day where there was an English interpreter available.

Xochimilco was fun on a Sunday. Carlos and Angel took good care of us. Lots of info and communication and engaging all participants.

I had a fun time, visiting this great little "floating village." I'm from New Orleans, so it was like Mardi Gras floats on boats, sailing down the canals. Delicious lunch from the cook whose canoe attached to ours and food was prepared fresh and to order! Complete with a mariachi band that glides by you and even a souvenir guy, if you're needing a sombrero or serape in a pinch! Coyoacan was beautiful, and seeing the coyote statues all over, hearing the history and walking in the parks was a nice change from being in the busy city. The stop at CU was informative, as well.

Stay away. Don’t book through Viator. They false advertise. The itinerary is completely different. We left the tour because it started one hour later and not what we were promised. Viator refused to refund. Lack of customer service. Take Uber to your location it is inexpensive and secure

Our guide was knowledgeable, nice, and helpful. We saw multiple areas around CDMX in addition to xochimilco. We saw some of the Art Deco murals and a silver smith.

The driver sent to pick us up at our hotel refused to allow us on the van, because a member of our party was in a wheelchair. Once we got the tour operator on the phone, they sent another driver for a personal and private tour. We didn't complete all the aspects of the original tour. But, we had a great time and a perfect day. I think the things we saw were better than the original tour would have been.

The start of the tour was exciting as my hotel near Constitution Plaza could not be picked up directly. I was offered to walk about 30 minutes to a meeting point at the Fiesta Americana Reforma Hotel, which I did and was there on time at 8:24. Afterwards, the taxi drove back to Constitution Plaza to pick up other participants before we got into another taxi. I was surprised as this meeting place was only two minutes from my hotel. Presumably, the tour guides only consider “hotel in the center” when planning and do not automatically drive directly. In the future, you should ask again when booking, where exactly is the pickup. Our tour guide was very nice, and the tour started at the university campus of the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM). On display were the Rectorate Tower, the Central Library and the Olympic Stadium of 1968. Since the stay time was limited, you could only get a brief overview of the huge campus (about 200 ha). Then we went to Xochimilco, about an hour's drive away. The boat trip was cozy and relaxing. Some fast food boats docked, and we got freshly prepared tortillas. Drinks could be ordered. Several mariachi bands offered their music, we politely declined. At the Floating Gardens we turned around and drove back – a short but lively excursion with many boats and lively hustle and bustle. Back on the bus we went to Coyoacán. Obviously, there are two groups: one with tickets to the Frida Kahlo Museum and one without. The group with tickets was escorted to the museum, the rest could see the district. However, two hours is quite long there, as there is not too much to see. A tip: Visit the Museo Casa Kahlo and the Parroquia San Juan Bautista, where the exit point was also. The return journey through the heavy traffic went as planned, and at about 17:00 we were back again. The tour operator was kind enough to let me get off at the metro station line 9, so I could reach my flight in time. Conclusion: A very nice and well organized tour that provides a good overview of important places around Mexico City. The price is fair considering that a taxi to Xochimilco costs about 20 euros (40 euros return). Overall a great experience.

Los destinos son muy interesantes de conocer, Coyoacan muy bonito y Xochimilco un must. La parada en la platería un gran acierto. Muy atento y simpático el guía, con varias detenciones para fotos a lugares en el camino. Único problema se me hizo la congestión y que la van podría mejorar la ventilación. Asimismo, para algunas personas podría resultar molesto tanto vendedor y propina (sobre todo en Xochimilco) . De todos modos, lo recomiendo

Très petit groupe de 6 . Guide parfait aussi bien en espagnol qu'en anglais. Repas sur le bateau agréable.

Reiseleiter ist ziemlich lustlos. Die Stationen betrachten wir nur von draußen. Der Preis ist es nicht wert.

We went to some parts that were not contemplated such as a silver factory and the Aztec stadium. The weather was suitable.

Una excursión excelente! Ursula era muy amable. Se lo recomiendo a todos. Me encantó Coyoacán y Xochimilco sobre todo.

Un tour cuyo foco es llevarlo a tiendas y vendedores que, más encima, después no entregan toda la compra realizada (Plateria Rafael) y no responden teléfonos ni correo electrónico para dar una respuesta. La agencia operadora tampoco colaboró con la recuperación de las compras. El paseo se puede hacer perfectamente en un Uber o en transporte público y no lo van a embaucar.

Nice to ride in the trajineras and hear the mariachis. Spectacular. My family and I really enjoyed the welcome. Then we took advantage of acquiring some souvenirs

The overall experience was good, the guide Marco very attentive, friendly and willing, only at first, too much disorganization. They brought us an hour and a half picking up other tourists. Improve that, it gets very tired.

For more security, we booked the tour through TripAdvisor. The ride on the trainee (boat) lasted an hour, amid an unimaginable number of boats. In addition to the trainees with tourists, there were boats with hot food, with drinks, with desserts and even with toys and masks of "free struggle" fighters. There were also boats with musical groups, including mariachis, sanfoneers, etc. When hired, at the price of 150 pesos per music, they transferred to the client's trainee and their boat followed together to recover the musicians. The landscape was cheerful, with lots of colors and music. The boats were driven with rods that leaned on the bottom of the lake, as in Venice, and collided frequently, but without damage. The driver Martins and the guide Rocio were very fun and helpful. The tour also included some stops for photos on the campus of the University of Ciudad and the Frida Kahlo Museum. The only otherwise were two long stops (more than 50 minutes each), not provided in the "package", in shops for the purchase of crafts and silver jewelry. An unnecessary waste of time.

If you like chaos, traffic jams and being shaken back and forth. If you like quick stops to take as many pictures as possible. Then this trip is for you. The colorful boats of Xochimilco are a caress for the ooh. The food you can buy from passing boats also looks good but that is where the comparison stops.
