Best tour guides in Mexico - Perfect day out. Probably the friendliest tour guides ever. Met me from my taxi so I knew I was in the right place and waited with me until my taxi picked me up after. Excellent English and very informative. Lots of knowledge about the area, culture and wildlife. No time pressure either, we worked at the pace of the group. Plenty of time to take pictures on doll island and learn about the axolotl. The sanctuary is small but had loads of axolotl of all shapes and sizes - some in tanks but many in a central pond where you can really see them swim about. Food on the boat was traditional and tasted great with a variety of drinks to choose from. Fun and games along the way but without any pressure. The guides helped with my gift shopping, translating prices and negotiated using my card rather than cash - they were super helpful. This tour is a bargain and you get to have fun without being on a full on party boat - because it’s not in the tourist area but in the conservation area there are much fewer boats …. Very peaceful and great for all ages.

A trip to remember from beginning to end! - I visited Xochimilco for the second time and in this opportunity, I did it with Alan and Paola. The overall experience was outstanding as we sailed until sunset visiting beautiful landmarks of the place while listening to some history about Xochimilco. I met new friends on the tour from different nationalities and we had shots, prepared micheladas, and played games together. We even had time to dance and cook some food while navigating. It was a blast! We stopped to meet the locals and visit the axolotls, as Paola is a biologist she gave us a great explanation about this species which was my favourite part. I am very grateful to Alan and his brother for creating such a great atmosphere. I will go back with friends and family for sure!!!
