I enjoyed this trip although our time in coyoacan felt very rushed. our guide had to work double explaining in both spanish and english since it was a mixed group and that seemed to take away her ability to share as much. The boat tour felt a bit too touristy and not as enjoyable as i had hoped.
Our guide Julius was awesome. The sights were interesting and Julius did a great job of explaining things to our group. A couple of things that could be improved are having at least two to three designated bathroom breaks as it is a long day, and back seats of van are almost impossible to see out of and enjoy the trip to various destinations. Would be nice to have free time in Coyocan to tour on our own.
Guide had very limited English was very hard to understand her. The boat trip was really bad Hundreds of boats jammed together didn't move for an hour You have to pay for everything you want to consume and looking at the quality I wouldn't even waste my money on the food Loud expat Mexican -American family who got drunk and became very loud and obnoxious further ruined the experience I certainly wouldn't recommend this tour at all.
hello, good afternoon. We are sorry that the tour was not to your liking, our guides are bilingual and certified. With respect to etc The music is the typical atmosphere of Xochimilco, it is part of the folklore of the place, this is not a place where there is silence.
Pickup on time at meeting site. All well explained about the itinerary of the day, visiting the planned places, Guide Melisa and driver Ernesto excellent. It would add more time in the planning to being in the bins, it was a bit quick, but very good everything
The entire tour was very punctual, from the pick-up at the door of the accommodation, they were very attentive to the group and giving all the information
The driver and the guide were very kind and helpful. But the tour was not organized as announced. It took around 2 hours picking up people in different very far hotels and we were more than the 14 maximum tourists announced. Moreover, the van was very uncomfortable.
Hello, we are sorry that our services were not to your liking. The pickup is scheduled to start at 8 and end at 9:30, although if there are people in Polanco we will start at 7:30, (information given in the tour description); It is a group tour of a maximum of 14 people traveling in vans with capacity for this number of people, additional 3 more places for guide, driver and co-pilot
This tour was so much fun and informative! Highly recommend this experience. Luis & Luis were amazing guides!
The evening before our tour, we were told that we would picked up at our AirBNB at 7:50 for our 9:00 tour. I asked if a later pick-up time was possible, but the organizer said no due to the locations of picking up other guests. 1.5 hours later - and after a few confusing stops picking up/ dropping off multiple guests - we picked up our final tour attendees ... about three blocks from our AirBNB. We could have walked to meet there at 9:15, rather than riding in the van in circles since 7:50. There were multiple stops along the way that could've been cut, including a stadium parking lot (...?) but they did break up the car ride. Bring a snack; you won't eat until around 2:00. The good part about taking a tour to Xochimilco is that you get to skip the line when you get to the boats. Our guide was knowledgable and very kind but talked a lot during the drive home. Additionally, interpretation was not available for our mostly English-speaking group. Overall, I would recommend choosing this tour with caution. Read the other reviews before booking.
hello, good afternoon We offer the pick up to all passengers who are within the area that we specified Polanco, which is the area where you were, is the furthest and that is why we start there at 7:50. All our guides are bilingual and the tour is given in both languages. We cannot skip the stop at the Azteca stadium since some visitors find it interesting and it is important for them to visit.
Nice day . Got to see a lot of different things , and very informative . Liked the university a lot . Two things , it would be easier to follow if the guide did Spanish , and then english , vs every line both , it was hard to follow . And would not book every single seat on the van . Since so much riding , that last row w 3 people really isn’t fair .
It was a nice trip. Nicely paced and with breaks in between. Our guide was knowledgeable and gave us. Whole lot of information about other points of interest as well
