Cruise Xochimilco’s canals on a colorful trajinera while guides such as Alan, Camila, Odette, and Emilio lead tequila and mezcal tastings, karaoke, games, pulque sampling, and a light meal. Expect a social, alcohol-heavy party rather than a quiet sightseeing cruise.

“Camila and Claudia were so much fun. They made our experience very special, they were enthusiastic and very accommodating as a group of mixed ages. They had a speaker and allowed us to play all types of music and were very interactive with us. Totally recommend for a fun family experience!”

3.Island of the dolls, tequila and mezcal CDMX

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 102 reviews · 2 hours · from $64

Travel by boat from a quiet Xochimilco sports club to the original Island of the Dolls. Alan and his team explain the canals, ecology, and the island’s strange story, with tequila and mezcal tastings along the way. This is a calm, cultural trip, not a party boat.

“One of the best trips ever! Alan was such a great guide, he was SO knowledgable about the local area and of course the story of the Isle of the Dolls. We had a beautiful morning on the canals, exploring the island and to top it off - some really fun games on the boat (without it being a ‘party’ boat). I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about the island and surrounding area in depth. Alan and your team - many thanks again for a wonderful trip!!”
