Guidekin's take

Cruise Xochimilco's canals aboard a covered trajinera with live commentary and chicken or vegetarian tacos.

Snacks, water and alcoholic drinks are included; canal congestion can prevent the island stop and pulque tasting. 4.89 from 223 reviews at €45 per person for 2h 30m.

In our comparison: #30 of 54 in Food & Street Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
