Lovely place

AbbeJoha, 20-11-2021

This is a recommendation must do if you are in CDMX. It is one hour away from the city center, we wen by DiDi (just like Uber but cheaper) it cost like $8 (USD). Try to go to the main entrance do not pay more than 500 pesos for the whole boat, there is an individual boat that you can get and pay 30 pesos per ride. But try to be friendly with the other tourist and negotiate if they want to share one boat. We ended split of the 500 pesos boat with a Colombian and Spaniar tourist. A lot of music and then there’s while you ride this boat. Nice environment.

Pretty good affordable tour

This trip was pretty decent. Got to see Xochimilco, Coyoacan, the Olympic stadium, and the outside of the Frida Kahlo museum. Xochimilco and Coyoacan were the highlights of the tour. I think we could have spent less time in the silver carving/gift shop and more in Coyoacan. Pickup was not coordinated very well. Usually on these kind of tours, the tour operator will reach out before the tour to confirm pickup location. I didn't hear anything, so I went to the Hilton Reforma at 9am like the ticket said. I had to call the tour company because I wasn't hearing anything from them. Eventually they came but didn't come into the lobby, even though the ticket said meet in the lobby. I think everyone else got hotel pickup but I'm not sure how. I was the only English speaker on the tour, and the tour guide presented the information in both languges.

Time with family,...

Time with family, enjoying the sites, and scenery, commentary by Francisco. Seeing places we had not scene before.

Not given any free time to shop

We paid for the Xochimilco and Coyoacan tour and we were taken to other stops which were not in our agenda. Upon pick up we were in a van with other groups for different destinations. Stopped at Cultural de la UNAM for about 45 mins for a history lesson (not in our agenda) and then split up for our tour. We were then taken to some little city to a shopping store (again not in agenda) and spent over 1 hr there. After that we drove over 1.5 hrs to Coyocan (turibus gets you there faster) with stops to the college, library and collesium. Arrived at Coyocan spending close to 30 mins circling around for parking. We were given a brief tour of some sites and then only given 30 mins free time!!?? Then it was back to van to go to Xochimilco. Another 1 hr long drive to get to Xochimilco. Arrived around 2:30 pm for the boat experience and lunch. Lunch at 2:30? The
Xochimilco experience and food was good. Very disappointed that again we had 0 time for shopping! It was off the boat, toilet break and back on van to head back to our hotel. It seemed the driver did not want to give us any free time as to not to wait around for us to enjoy these 2 destinations. I've done this tour before via other booking agent and we were given over 1 hr of free time to each of these destinations.

Look for Xochimilco only

If you’re not into shopping, look for a trip to Xochmilco only!

We spent a lot of time going to souvenir shops & on a traffic heavy day this took away time at the stops actually worth visiting. Much of my group were also not interested in the shopping & were standing around outside the buildings for at least fifteen minutes on two occasions waiting for the guide.

Xochimilco however was absolutely worth it. We were on the boat for around an hour - lunch is ordered (200peso) & drinks available (between 20-30 peso) - they don’t tell you these charges until the end.

Tour included a stop at Freda Kahlo’s house but literally getting out the bus, taking a photo outside, and getting back in the bus. This felt like a shame as an interesting story of Freda’s life was told for the 30 minutes it took to reach the Blue House.

Biggest positive was the price- probably tricky to get out to Xochimilco on your own accord so for the price maybe you can suck up the 7 hours of blah for the one hour on the canals.
