★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 3,025 reviews · from $89

Spend 10 hours with bilingual guides such as Alex, Rodrigo, or Leonardo exploring Coyoacán, Casa Azul, UNAM’s murals, and Xochimilco. Choose the Frida Kahlo Museum and lunch options carefully, since the cheapest fare includes neither.

“This was a great tour with Leo & Alan they both handled the large group very well and were timely and interactive without being too much. They were both very knowledgeable. I traveled with 3 adults, 1 preteen, 1 teen, and an infant. We booked the full experience tour and it was extremely accomodating to all of us. It's a good tour if you want to hit a few spots but I'll add if you want a full experience on the Trajineras I would look for a different tour because this one felt short and a bit rushed. I definitely recommend getting the tour with the Frida Kahlo tickets included…”

“The Xochimilco Barco Fiesta Tentación 18+ with Open Bar and Tacos was hands-down one of the most fun excursions we did in Mexico City! From the moment we stepped on the trajinera, the energy was high and the vibe was nonstop. The open bar was flowing the entire time with great drinks, and the tacos were fresh, hot, and delicious perfect fuel for all the dancing and partying. The music was 🔥, with a DJ keeping everyone hyped, and it felt like a floating party surrounded by amazing people from all over.

Overall, it was a smooth, well-organized experience that we’d recommend.”

“If you are looking for an experience that transcends the typical tourist trip, book this tour immediately. "The City Green: Exploring the Urban Eco Reserve of Xochimilco" was the single biggest highlight of our trip to Mexico City, and the perfect bonding experience for my son and me. Our guide, Raul, was simply exceptional—incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and passionate about the area. He didn't just share facts; he shared stories and insights into the ancient Aztec farming systems (chinampas) and the critical importance of Xochimilco's water and land. The friendly, small-group atmosphere made it feel like a day trip with friends rather than a formal tour. The food experience was a…”
