Guidekin's take

Cruise Xochimilco's canals by trajinera with live commentary, popcorn and Mexican candies.

Boat admission, water, soft drinks and alcoholic drinks are included; canal congestion can prevent the island stop and pulque tasting. 4.89 from 36 reviews at €62 per person for 2h 30m.

In our comparison: #16 of 26 in Xochimilco Boat Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
