Itinerary
Xochimilco is best known for its canals, which are left from what was an extensive lake and canal system that connected most of the settlements of the Valley of Mexico. These canals, along with artificial islands called chinampas, attract tourists and other city residents to ride the traditional trajineras.

Max was a great guide and we had a super fun time with the group of people we ended up with. I would totally recommend this experience for anyone visiting Mexico City - the tradition and the fun blended together made for a beautiful day!
We had a great time on Tour, easy pick up. Hostess was very friendly and helpful. She made everything fun and easy.
Fun vibe, only critique is when two boats tie up to travel together they should synch the music, was a little crazy listening to two beats for the 2 hour trip. Guides were fun.
Celebrated my 52nd birthday and had the most wonderful time. Thank you Raul for the memorable and great experience and making my birthday so very special. Meet some great people on the boat and I thank them too for celebrating with me and making my day super special. I Totally loved the whole experience. My First time in Mexico City and it will not be my last. Totally a vibe on that boat. We sang, we danced, we drank and we laughed. 10 out of 10 experience
Aline was an AMAZING host & guide!
This was an excellent, really fun cultural experience, which was uniquely Mexican. The bus was comfortable, it took about 1:20 to get out to the Xochimilco area. We got on one of the party boats. Our guide Raul was very knowledgeable and well prepared, he brought his boom box (very important!!) snacks and soft drinks and of course tequila. The other boats in t canals got us into the mood. Every boat had their own music blaring, some boats had live Mariachi musicians. The 10 other ppl in the group were much younger than us which made this ride really fun. We had some booze and snacks and played our music to add to t cacophony. By the end of it, we were also singing and dancing along, the boat ride was about 2 hrs long. I much recommend this for the younger crowd. It shows what fun loving, party people Mexicans are. Going out on the weekend is probably the best time to go.
Excellent day out made some new Friends and Aline as guide was excellent
It was a totally unique and enjoyable experience- our family of 7 thoroughly enjoyed it.- a highlight of our time in Mexico.
Our experience was on another level. Michelle , Raul, Victor went above and beyond to make sure our activities were exceptional. They were all polite, and very eager to make sure our time here In Mexico City was excellent. The whole tour was one of the best ever. Thanks again Viator, and Michelle , Raul, Victor for our excellent tour: we will definitely book again.
I had such a fun and memorable experience on the trajinera in Xochimilco! One of the things I loved most was that they stopped along the way so we could grab our own snacks and drinks, which made everything feel more relaxed and personalized. They also treated us to a round of delicious Paloma cocktails and some chips, which was a really nice touch. Our group only had four people, so the boat felt spacious and more intimate, but still had a fun, lively vibe. It was the perfect balance. A special shoutout to our host, Aline, and our driver, Mario—they were both amazing. They made us feel welcome the entire time, and most importantly, we felt very safe throughout the experience. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Mexico City—it’s such a unique and enjoyable way to spend time!
Amazing tour guides and experience
We had such a blast!!!! We got picked up in Roma Norte by Richard and the van took us to the canals. We had an amazing homemade quesadilla, michaladas, and snacks. Richard shared a lot of history and good times with the group. Would highly recommend
I wish I could give Richard and his crew 10 stars! What an amazing day! If you are looking for an amazing day on the water try out this experience! Can’t say enough about Richard and the experience he provided along with the history of the experience!
Very fun boat ride with a great guide.
We had such a blast! Ricardo was the best. Highly recommend!
Amazing experience! Wonderful host and a great driver.
Such a fun experience! Ric was a great guide. He’s so knowledgeable and his energy is so upbeat. I definitely recommend this, especially if you have a lovely group.
Vic and Richard were amazing, professional and showed us a great time. Highly recommend!
Wonderful and colourful experience. Big thanks to Ric and Vic for overseeing the arrangements so perfectly. Thank you
10 out of 10! This experience exceeded my expectations. My husband and I were worried about going out on their own. If you’re visiting Xochimilco, this is the way to do it. They took care of it all. Aline, our travel guide went above and beyond.
A lot of fun. Lalo and Richard were great! We had a great time on the boat and everyone helped us have a great time
Very fun! Would recommend these tour guides.
Richard and Lalo were excellent guides. Knowledgeable and extremely fun
We had such an awesome time with Ricardo. He was very attentive amd fun. We felt very comfortable. He was an awesome host a s definitely recommend this tour at 💯
5 out of 5 we also experienced with Eileen & ara yesterday and has a great time. This company is great to work with and I will definitely be back later this year with friends through the same company.
Absolutely awesome trip. Everything was so easy because they came to get as from the centrum. Richard was very funny, kind and helpfull tour, couldn’t ask more. On the bost Richard told about the history, culture and so on, it was very interesting. I will remember this trip!
Had my family visiting CDMX who had not been to Xochimilco before, and needed an activity for my parents who are in their 70s. Max was a great tour guide with perfect English and was able to explain lots of details. We had a great time eating & floating along the canals and interacting with other passing boats. The pickup and drop off made it easy to rest along the way. Would recommend
I really enjoyed this, the guides were punctual, well-organized, and had great energy for the whole trip, I’d highly recommend this experience! My one critique is that we were communicating prior to the tour and I wish that they would have shared the demographics of the group. I was traveling solo looking for a party experience and ended up with a couple of families with young children so the vibe was different than I had expected. I’ve had tour guides point stuff out like this before and I think that would have been helpful to know going into it!
The tour guides entertained us for the whole time. They were able to get one of the best mariachi bands to play for us. And helped us off the boat when we were hit with bad thunderstorms.
Our guide was very knowledgeable about the area and in general! He made sincere efforts to get to know our group and tailor the tour to our interests. Additionally, before the tour I got a call from the company to be sure that I knew the meeting location and time. Overall, a great and organized experience.
Our group had an incredible time on the tour. Lalo and Ricardo were exceptional guides who were incredibly knowledgeable and made learning about the history of Xochimilco an enjoyable experience. The atmosphere was so fun!
Lalo & Rick were great tour guides! They not only were fun on the boat but they were able to purchase & negotiate with the vendors on the river which was a huge plus! They had great stories and history to tell during our time that made the journey even better.
It was so wonderful! This was our second experience with Mexican tales. Ric was a wonderful guide and has the best stories. The canals were so cool and such a singular experience that we all would recommend doing!
Super fun tour of Xochimilco by trajinera! Enjoyed drinks, music, food, and sights with great company. Highly recommend!
It is excellent this experience! The guides and drivers are fantastic and the atmosphere that is created is amazing! Thanks Mexican Tales
We had a good time, our guide Richard did a very good job, even though my group was not the most participatory he was attentive to our needs all the time, has many interesting data and overall it was a very good experience.
