“This was a truly fantastic experience! The guys on the boat that ran it, I forgot their names, they were very friendly and accomodating to our drink requests, food items, etc. There are so many other boats on the river that it becomes one big party on the water as everyone waves to each other. They were playing music and everyone on the boat was dancing and enjoying it. Don't miss out on this tour.”

“Traveled with my elderly parents and it was a nice walking pace. My dad enjoyed the history explanation. As Mexicans, we thought the restaurant food lacked a bit of authentic flavor. But we get it. They're catering to non-mexican tourist. We appreciated the service. The tour guides were excellent, bilingual (English/Spanish), approachable and knowledgeable. Main reason I booked this trip was because the Frida Kahlo tickets were sold out on the museum's website and this 2- day package included tickets to Frida. Again, the overall experience was a great!”
