Relaxing Day with Great Music and Beautiful Views - We had such a relaxing and enjoyable day! Diego, our tour guide, was amazing—super friendly and very knowledgeable. If you’re looking for something laid-back, this tour is perfect. The boat ride accompanied by live Mariachi music was incredibly soothing. Afterward, we explored Frida Kahlo’s neighborhood and visited a park with statues honoring her. Even with teacher protests happening in the city, we were still able to enjoy walking around and taking in the views. Dinner at Casa de las Sirenas was the perfect way to end the day—delicious food, a stunning view, and outstanding service. Overall, the weather was beautiful, the company was great, and the day was unforgettable. Highly recommend!

A must w Ari! - Highly recommend a tour w Ari! He is so genuinely friendly and you can tell he loves his job so much! He was very knowledgeable and showed me and my family all of the cool spots. I was with my four young children and Ari stepped in to help wherever needed without me asking. Great tour guide and an even better man! Thank you for an incredible day!!! My kids are still raving about it!

Great tour! - Luis was a wonderful guide! We had a great time on the canal boat, including tacos. Then we saw the sights of Coyoacan, including the Frida Kahlo house and park, the fountain of coyotes, and the beautiful San Juan Bautista Church and Monastery.

Recommended for Xochimilco and Coyoacan - Andrew Xavi, the owner of Epic Journeys was helpful, professional, and prompt. This was a customized tour for two couples and he made the necessary tweaks to the standard itinerary. Laila, our guide was helpful and informative. When we told her that we were not fans of crowds and loud parties, she took us to a different pier in Xochimilco where we were pretty much the only boat in the water (we did go early though).

Should have asked for a refund - Diego put very little effort into our trip, very disappointed. Nazareth our driver tried his best to talk to us about what we were doing and where we were, but we felt like an inconvenience. As we were told Diego was tired from working two jobs. Tacos were picked up at the start of the trip to be eaten on the boat, so lower your expectations. Boat ride was very short and really should be done in a group setting, also expect to have people in other boats sell you things. We were told very little about Frieda Khalo other than the trolley that tipped over and she miscarried. At every turn we were encouraged to buy things, or tip more. Diego fell asleep or played on his phone while we sat in heavy traffic. It felt more like a boring Uber thru the city than an excursion.
