Great time on the canals! - This was an absolutely incredible experience. Every aspect of it lived up to expectation and our tour guide Brandee was great to work with both before the trip organizing transportation and during. The experience felt like something locals do and not just tourists and getting to eat from local vendors and having mariachi's jump on board and play for us really took the cake.

Scam!!!!! - This was the worst experience of my life. What I experienced and what was shown on the app were two ends of the spectrum. There was no fiesta, no music, no light. No candies, no locals fares, no soda! Nada!!!! I want a refund!! I left in 20 minutes. The place was full of mosquitoes and no attempt was made to make that bearable. There were no bug repellents.

Major Disappointment - For the cost, this tour was a major disappointment. The quality of the boat and beverages and canal did not justify the price. I highly recommend booking at the Emarcadero Nativitas Xochimilco instead. That offers the authentic experience a non-local tourist would expect. This port was run down and seedy. I thought I could trust what Viator was offering but don't be fooled like I was.
