So much fun! - I loved the Cuemanco pier to really appreciate Xochimilco. The views were amazing. My host knew what she was talking about, and even though I was alone, it was so much fun. The highlight of the tour was La Llorona Island and the tequila and mezcal brands we tried. I would definitely repeat it soon.

The most fun o had in CDMX! - My friend and I booked this experience and it was the most unexpected adventure we had on our trip! Our tour guide did such an excellent job sharing stories of the area and making us feel comfortable. This is a GREAT way to meet other travelers! We started off slow but once the drinks started flowing it turned into a full blown party boat! SUCH A GREAT TIME! This is your sign to book this experience

Fun Day on a Barge - I highly recommend this trip if you want to visit Xochilmilco and you're a fan of mezcal and/or tequila. We had a fabulous experience thanks to our wonderful host. She was knowledgeable and friendly and really funny. It's a great way to experience Xochilmilco in a really fun way. The experience included drinks, and lunch, and three stops along the way.

Great even if traveling solo. - Of course worth it!!! They asked us to move our reservation up so we could join another group. We didnt mind it: it was a great time. As a group, we opted to hire marachi band (~$800 mxn pesos for 4 songs) Arturo was our guide: he made sure everyone had a great time! Great energy. Definitely worth it; even if traveling solo.
