5.00Very fun day. Omar and Juan were awesome, very fun and managed to squeeze in some interesting information about Mexican nature and axolotls in particular. You will be offered a few activities, but no one forces you to do anything. I don't drink and i did "shots" of mineral water when the group played drinking games, another person was a bit uncomfortable with another activity and no one said anything to them. It's nice to still get to be included even if you don't actively participate in a certain activity. Thanks guys! It was a very nice thing to remember Mexico by :)

5.00Pancho & Hugo were fantastic hosts! We had such a blast with them and the group was awesome! We played drinking games, got to see a beautiful island, and learn a little about Mexican culture.

5.00Omar was very friendly, knowledgeable and fun! We enjoyed the entire experience and would highly recommend him and his company! Misael was our captain and he kept us going the whole way. We learned about Axolotls and many other things, and we were happy to learn that there is some progress in recovering the Axolotls numbers and hopefully Xochimilco will continue their efforts to help the environment for these and many other animals and species!
Wonderful canal trip

4.00This was a very fun and laidback boat ride! Free tequila throughout the ride and taquitos on shore about halfway through. Could have done without the island stop, but otherwise it was a great trip. Leslie and Geraldo were great guides.
