Xochimilco, Coyoacán and Frida Kahlo Museum Monolingual Tour

Your tour could have been so much well planned in a matter of 5 hours even given the traffic and delays. I know I signed up for a long tour however no where in the sign up does it say your tour guide will waste time and take you to a jewelry shop for over an hour as the first stop .. we only had 15 minutes in Coyoacán and just stayed in the garden square and saw a little bit of what beautiful Coyoacán is suppose to be .. The frida tour was planned for 12 pm.. I was picked up at 8 am in the national auditorium .. imagine up since 6 am to only see at best 15 minutes of Coyoacán .. you sell 70 minutes in Coyoacán and 1 hour in frida house .. once we got to frida house everyone was annoyed and hungry .. with so much time wasted .. the tour guide seemed to notice and still didn’t care .. when asked why they took us so long to the jewelry shop he said the Coyoacán doesn’t open until late .. so why even do false advertising .. the line for frida house was at most 20 minutes but it was worth it .. the tour guide had a party of 35 people to controlled .. also something they do not tell you in the booking .. they do not tell you that you will be stuck with 35 people .. also caused of delays and wasted time .. I truly believe this company gets a commission from the platería Rafael that’s why they took us there to spend money instead of taking us to Coyoacán as advertised… After the Frida house since everyone was tired and hungry the guide proceeded to tell us that we could skip the murals and just go straight to Xochimilco . Everyone was divided as some really wanted to go see the murals .. we did go to the murals but again for 10 minutes and not 30 minutes as advertised.. finally in Xochimilco we got in pretty fast given that it was packed super packed as it was a Saturday .. they already have their own vendors to sell you food and even kinds push on the mariachi on you .. that experience was ok but didn’t like that we could have lunch in Coyoacán and passed on the so so lunch at Xochimilco.. we didn’t eat and we only agreed to help the group pay for the mariachi ,, least to say I would never book again with this company and it’s false advertising.

This is a very fun experience and it is ALL day, just a heads up. I was definitely tired by the end, but the time in Coyoacan is amazing! Frida's house is beautiful and you have enough time to experience the museum. The vibe at Xochimilco is fun because everyone is on boats on the river. Great experience! I had fun and met so many travelers!

Tour was very unaccommodating, I would not book with them again. It was very unhappy. Not good. I had Covid and I didn’t think I should join so I don’t get other people sick but they were not willing to work with me.

It was a wonderful experience , every thing was very organized and on time. Guides where very knowable and courteous , thanks.

Our tour guide was great. Very funny and knowable. Amazing places with so much history. Our guide gave us time to explore on our own. Highly recommend!

This could be the worst toured trip i have been in. The time management was extremely poor. They first dragged you to the north part of the city to a local shop making silver item so that you can so called " see the local lives". But honestly, what they are really trying to do is have you spend more money. The items made there is really mediocre and not interesting nor special at all. And the worst thing about it is that it wasted our whole morning which we could be spending doing something we really enjoy. The highlight attractions on this tour is really on the south part of the city, and they dragged us to the north just to waste our whole morning. (Mexico city is a huge city). And by the time we get to the river where we are gonna have food on the boat. It was already pass 3:30pm (and it takes another 30 mins to actually get your food). So imagine waking up early to catch the trip at 9am and then not getting things to eat all the way until 4pm. It was a horrible experience. In the end, i decided to split with the group because i almost started to feel sick with such poor time management. Seriously, they could have just not wasting my whole morning going to the north part of the city and starting at Coyacan, then the time would be much reasonable. On top of that, the attitudes of tour guide was extremely indifferent and lack of care. First, it was a big group ( i think roughly over 30 people), so it was already hard to take care of people's need. And it just feel the guide really did not wanna spend any efforts to take care of the group. He did not inform us well on how long the ride would take, when can we expected to have lunch. And the bus was not thay comfortable neither. In a word. DO NOT book this tour. I have NO idea how it got so many good reviews. And honestly, seeing how terrible this trip is got me to cancel another trip i booked in advance. You will be in much better condition touring area at your own pace. And if you really wanna have a tour guide to learn the history abd story of that region. You would find a local guide near the centro historical district of the city. Many of them offer tour to different part of the city. Check with them, they might be able to give you a tour in a much smaller group. Seriously, this could be the worst experience i had with guided tour and the decision I regrets the most about my trip.

The tour is good however you need to be alert and make sure you'll be in the meeting point before 9:10am because they are not considerate and will leave you even if you're 1 minute late. We almost missed this tour even we left our hotel early because there's a bike parade on the weekend that made the traffic so worst. I called the company and they told me even we got there at 9:11am they won't wait for us and need to be move the next day. We got there exactly 9:10am luckily and they about to leave. Also, you need to be alert because if they say you only have 1 or 2 hours in a museum you need to be at the meeting point exactly that time or they will leave you. The tour guide doesn't count or make sure everyone's back so just be aware of that! You can basically do this on your own without using a tour if you have a lot of time in CDMX as there's uber everywhere. The only great thing of this tour is the Xochilmico because if you do the Xochilmico on your own there's a possibility you'll get scammed or overcharged especially if you're a tourist. At the end of the day we all had fun because the Xochilmico is our most favorite part of the tour.

Kevin our guide was so entertaining!!! We learned so much about Mexico’s history! For those who drink tequila, it certainly was a nice perk! I have taken several Viator tours and this one is certainly at the top! :)

Great tour! Kevin gave us the best explanation of the places we visited! Would definitely recommend to visitors

Just do the Frida Khalo museum tour and not the boat ride. The history behind the artist is a must if you want to learn more about her. Watch the movie with Salma Hayek before to give you more insight. The boat ride should be skipped. The water was murky and the drinks were okay. We had a mariachi band which was nice. The food was horrible and overpriced. Maybe if you went on a weekend it’s a more Festive atmosphere but it’s boring during the weekdays. Skip the water portion. It’s a tourist trap.
