View on Google MapsThis tour definitely exceeded my expectations! Marcos was a very knowledgable guide. Riding thru the canals at dawn and having breakfast while the sun is rising over the beautiful farm was such a tranquil experience that was made even better because it was just my wife and I. I would absolutely recommend this activity to others wanting an experience immersed in culture, history and supporting agricultural conservation efforts!
What a unique and wonderful experience. Totally different (and IMO so much more appealing) than all the Xochimilco party trips. Our guide Marcos was fabulous and so knowledgeable. We learned a lot. And to see the day break surrounded by 250 species of birds on an organic farm technically in CDMX city limits was a wonderful experience.
It was an amazing tour that took us on a canoe through the canal before sunrise and before any other tourists arrived. We arrived at an eco-farm/garden where the tour guide and others run. The tour guide was very knowledgable, and we learned about how the farm/garden tries to restore and maintain a healthy eco-system there. Our breakfast was cooked right at the farm with all the ingredients from the garden. The tour is absolutely worth it and the money goes to supporting the farm. Just make sure to wear thick winter clothes and warm shoes. It was very cold in the early morning. The tour guide prepared several blankets for us and that saved my life. But the blankets couldn't over the feet. I was wearing sneakers and regular socks, which were not enough to prevent cold air and dampness from freezing my toes. Also, the description says the activity starts at 5:30am, but it takes about an hour to get there, so the driver may come to pick you up at 4:30am, which is what happened to us. I highly recommend the tour, just be prepared to 1) get up at 4/4:30am and 2) wear warm clothes and shoes.
Great from pick-up to drop off. Driver, guide, etc. all very pleasant, knowledgeable and engaging. This was the opposite experience to party boats (which was what we wanted).
Great experience from pickup to tour to breakfast to drop off. All guides spoke English very well. Favorite part of tour was riding out to the islands in the morning mist.
The tour is unique, getting to Xochimilco before crowds and having breakfast at a traditional farm and learning about agriculture and local ecosystems
Marcos was our guide and is very smart of the environment and could answer all of our questions! Eduardo is very friendly and arrived on time, perfect!
If you want to see Xochimilco, but aren't interested in the party-boat experience, this is a terrific alternative. We went mid-week in the middle of December, and it ended up being a private tour. My wife and I and the tour guide / rower. This is a great way to learn about the 1,000-year history of Xochimilco, how they were constructed, how they are maintained, and the ecology. If you are a birdwatcher, this is an excellent tour also.
This tour exceeded our expectations by a lot. Our guide, Marcos was a great naturalist and has the gift of conveying information about the local wildlife, the history of Xocomilco and the ancient farming practices. We enjoyed a delicious meal and saw many local and migrating bird species on the trip back to their base. We also watched the sun rise between two volcanos. Nothing short of spectacular!
Very unique experience and worth waking up early to experience the area’s natural beauty, wildlife, and, of course, sunrise. Driver was kind and made good conversation (Spanish only) and our guide was super knowledgeable of the area’s history, biology, and conservation efforts (English/Spanish). Breakfast was made fresh using the produce they grow and harvest. The snacks they offered (cookies, chips, etc) were also produced using local products. Everything was simple but delicious. We will definitely come back and recommend it to friends/family.
