Reviews
I wish I had know that there were vendors to buy food, drinks, etc... more info on the trip would be appreciated.
The boat itself and the canals were amazing! We watched in awe as Carlos navigated the boat around all of the other boats. Jorge made sure to check with us to gauge what kind of experience we were looking for (lots of talking or more casual sightseeing) and got down to the important stuff - food and drinks. He brought beers with him, and we got some margaritas from a passing by vendor.
Next we decided on food, and watched in amazement as mushroom and squash blossom tacos were made on a teeny tiny flat top on a boat that pulled up next to us.
We loved hearing about the history of the canals, but also loved just chatting with Jorge about Mexico and all the places he's lived.
We wrapped up the tour with a stop to see some reptiles and learn about axilotl. Great few hours, amazing way to get out of the city and eat some lovely food.
Highly recommend!!!
