Review of a family-friendly Xochimilco boat ride with axolotls, crafts, snacks, games, and a calm route away from party boats.
“The boat tour with Diana and Heriberto was phenomenal! They were so knowledgeable, kind, and wonderful with our kids. The gardens were beautiful and our kids especially loved the crafts, Mexican candy, and axolotls. It was a perfect excursion for the family, and touring the gardens at 9am on a Saturday meant we missed all the chaos and had the canals practically to ourselves. Our son has a short attention span and even he was surprised that the 2.5 tour went by so quickly. Definitely recommend.”
