Traveler reviews
Xochimilco and Coyoacan Tour
Wonderful day, beautiful scenery, rich culture, and a guide who made everything engaging and easy. Highly recommend!
Excellent trip!
Ismael Rayes was fantastic! We enjoyed our time and felt well informed! Would spend more time visiting other areas.
10/10 - Recommend Eduardo as Guide
Great experience. We started at 9am and extended our tour to include the floating gardens as well, which turned into a full day tour. We had Eduardo as our private guide - he speaks really good English, was patient, kind and helpful (highly recommend!)
I give it 10/10
Raul did a great job! Being a native of Xochimilco really showed in how familiar he was with the people and being able to show you a good time. Highly recommend this trip as it's a unique thing to see while in Mexico City!
Excellent day trip with Ismael
Ismael was an excellent tour guide. He showed up at appointment time and even a few minutes earlier. He gave us history of Mexico City on the way to our first stop for a gondola ride which was wonderful. We made a few stops including flower gardens and Poque tasting (local liquor made from agave plant). After this, we went through a couple of boroughs and neighborhoods such as Coyoacan and San Angel. I would highly recommend this specific tour and Ismael as he was a wonderful guide, friendly and fluent in English which was very helpful for us.
