The 15 Best Xochimilco Boat Tours

1.Xochimilco, Coyoacan and Frida Kahlo with Optional Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 7,320 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $34Our pick

Spend a full day in Coyoacán and Xochimilco, then choose a Frida Kahlo museum add-on, with a calm trajinera boat ride.

“It is a pretty full experience, but one books way ahead , so a good reminder for exactly what is booked will be good.. did not know if we had tickets to Frida Kahlo house for example, said-nothing g is included and i could check options, but it was already paid for. The guide said we should have seen this and that after we finished, but other guides said what they should look for. A bug miss. Also guide spoke too fast, better to have separate explanation by each language, it was more noise than information.”

Ride a trajinera through Xochimilco, explore Coyoacán, choose Blue House or Casa Kahlo, then see UNAM murals and optional lunch.

“I had a really great experience on this trip and would definitely recommend it. The two guides, Alexa and Barbara, were excellent—both very friendly, helpful, and well organised, which made the whole day feel easy and stress-free. Even though the transport was quite long due to Mexico City traffic, it was still a very interesting and worthwhile experience. The itinerary was very complete and well thought out, with lots of added cultural value. I especially enjoyed the visit to Rafael’s workshop, the time in Coyoacán, and of course the trajinera ride in Xochimilco, which was a real highlight of the day. The only thing I’d mention for future travellers is…”

Tip: I went mid-week and while there was great ambiance on the boats without being too crowded, don't expect to find many interesting restaurants in the neighborhood. Find your culinary experience elsewhere and come just for the tour/event, unless you really like street food.”

“Our guide Roberto and driver Carlos provided us with an excellent tour experience. I highly recommend both. Only downside, is tha neither the Frida Kahlo or Diego Rivera museums have much of their art. Both are interesting but the Frida museum is about her life and the Diego museum is about precolumbian art collection he left to the people of Mexico. Their art is not at these museums”
