What To Expect
Trajineras Xochimilco
Xochimilco is one of the most emblematic places in Mexico City and a World Heritage Site. In this experience you will sail aboard a colorful traditional trajinera for about 1 hour through its canals surrounded by chinampas (floating islands). During the tour you can enjoy live music (mariachis, trios or marimbas), buy cravings, flowers or crafts from other trajineras, and soak up the festive atmosphere that characterizes it. It is a time to relax, take unique photos and live a centuries-old tradition. Our guide will explain the origin of this site and answer any questions. An ideal activity for all ages, perfect for those looking for a connection between nature, culture and the living history of Mexico.
Coyoacan
After the ride in Xochimilco, we will move to Coyoacán, one of the most beautiful and traditional neighborhoods of Mexico City. Our guide will take you on a walking tour to discover its cobblestone streets, squares, colonial churches and spaces full of art and culture. You will know the history of this iconic place, its famous characters, and you can visit its famous market where you will find crafts, books, typical sweets and dishes such as toast, churros and hot chocolate. Plus, you’ll have free time to take photos, explore on your own, or just relax on one of its colorful benches. Coyoacán is the cultural heart of the south of the city, with a bohemian and welcoming atmosphere that will make you feel like in a small town within the big city.

Great time for group of 10

5.00Pedro was our driver and he was great! Our large group of 10 had a wonderful time and he was a delight. He also helped us manage the ordering for everything we needed and all our extra bathroom stops. The trajinera ride was a lot of fun and they even helped us get a trajinera customized with our birthday boy’s name. Would recommend!

5.00I had a great tour of Xochilmilco and Coyoacan. Pedro was a great English speaking guide with knowledge of the history and legend of the area. Would highly recommend
Poor communication

2.00Transportation to and Fro Xochimilco was convenient, but that’s about it. This was the most boring tour I ever went on Viator. I’ve booked multiple trips on Viator and this is the worst so far. I learnt nothing about xochimilco, Coyoacán or Frida’s house on this trip. Please don’t book this trip if you are truly wanting an informative guided trip.
Highly Recommend, Great Tour!

5.00We had such an amazing time on this tour! Pedro was an excellent guide! He picked us up on time and went above and beyond to accommodate our stroller. The boat ride was so beautiful and peaceful. There were local vendors that sold food and drinks on the ride! We had about 1.5 hours to walk around the town to Coyoacan, which was such a cute town, I just wish we had more time to spend there. We had just enough time to eat some lunch at a local restaurant called Mi Compa Chava (Best Seafood I have had in my life). Overall the whole experience was worth it and highly recommend.
Xochimilco. Company was good

3.00Our driver was great. On time and concerned about our event. The Xochimilco gardens that we saw on this outing were not so great. A longer tour out of the commercial chaos might be a better choice.
Very Disappointing

1.00Guide did not speak English at all well. Further he could not explain why Xochimilco was worth visiting and other basic facts.
The Unexpected Trip

5.00This trip was not at all what I expected (in a positive way!). Guillermo (our tour guide) was great! I want to make it known that our guide was in Spanish. Let me start by saying Guillermo text me the night before to confirm our pick up location and time. The morning of our trip he text me to let me know he would be arriving soon. His car was very clean and well kept. He has great driving skills and got us safely to all our destinations. My mother enjoyed the trip and so did I. **Guillermo was with us for almost the entire trip. The only time we separated was when we were in the church.
A very enjoyable tour with great stories and a relaxing boat ride.

We really enjoyed Mary’s ride and follow-up to Arc Tours, before, during and at the end of our tour.
