Guidekin's take

Ride a traditional trajinera through Xochimilco's canals with priority boarding and live commentary.

Tacos, snacks, soft drinks and alcoholic drinks are included; private transport is excluded, and canal congestion can prevent the island stop and pulque tasting. 4.85 from 755 reviews at €53 per person for 2h 30m.

In our comparison: #44 of 54 in Food & Street Food Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
