Very nice quiet tour, not alot of walking, restful day!
Although the weather was not on our side (it was cloudy and raining), we saw much more than Xochimilco and the University on our way there. We had a very informative guide, the group was excellent. Perfect.
We were given a very informative and enjoyable tour.
It was a very interesting tour. Xochimilco was very, very nice and tour guide was just wonderful.
We had a superb guide, and the whole trip such a memorable experience. He showed us all sorts of interesting things on the way out and on the return which we would otherwise have completely overlooked.
This day is a fun mix of all kinds of experiences. We got a great city tour and saw two museums that we weren't even expecting to see - the Diego Rivera studio and Freida Kahlo's home. Our guide was knowledgeable and very interesting. He kept us moving but we never felt rushed. The floating gardens of Xochimilco were a real treat - a step back in time in the middle of a bustling city.
Our driver was wonderful and full of information! We would ask for him again!!!
Xochimilco was very pretty. We basically just drove past the Univeristy however we did stop in San Angel and it was such a beautiful area. Our tour guide was fantastic, so friendly and knowledgable.
A very enjoyable day out and a good way of seeing parts of Mexico City off the beaten track.
Guide was good but needs to include more sites of interest in tour.
Even though we paid for the tour we were told we had to pay the floating boat operator $15.00 each..
The trip was nice however our tour guide was always in a hurry to beat traffic. Xochimilco is a place to go in the afternoon not in the early morning hours when your the only floating boat on the lake. Would recommend the trip just not the guide.
We started this tour with a stop at a Church for 15 minutes and then drove to Frida Kahlo's house/museum. When we arrived, it had a sign that it was closed. We took pictures outside the museum.
We drove by Mexico's univertity stadium on our way to Xochimilco.
We continued to Xochimilco where ladies were given a rose before getting on a beautiful, colorful canoe. We each paid for a lunch served on the canoe. That was the best part of this entire tour. He allowed no time for shopping even though our tour guide "Eduardo" was ahead of schedule...done by 2pm.
We could have gone to Xochimilco on our own and saved ourselves the money.
Sadly there were very few people there so we didn't get a real feel of the place. We only spent 50 minutes on the boat.
The tour guide seemed distracted. Although his English was good, he seemed to have several non-tour items on his agenda--getting breakfast, checking on the cost of a shirt, talking with buddies at Xochimilco. It just did not seem like a professional job.
Our guide made it very boring. Everyone was alseep by da end of the first half of the trip. Should have been a better experiance.
