Private City Tour in Frida Kahlo, Coyoacan, and Xochimilco

Amy_K, Apr 2026

Fantastic experience, not to be missed!

Xochimilco with Jamie was a fantastic experience. He’s knowledgeable explanations, familiarity with the vendors, and friendly manner made this a memorable and unique experience. We also thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Anahuacalli museum and our tour of the Santa Catalina area in Coyoacán. Thank you Jaime for a wonderful day experiencing southern CDMX!

Xochimilco, Coyoacan, Aztec Stadium & UNAM

Candace_J, Mar 2026

A good way to see the sights for the 1st time

Our experience turned out to be a 'private' tour because the others in our group didn't arrive on time. So that meant we could go at our own pace and stop at a couple shops while walking. The elements didn't disappoint; they were all part of a good first visit to get to know the areas (this was not our first visit). The stadium and UNAM were my least favorite, as there was not much to see, but Xochimilco was as fun as ever.

Pre-Hispanic Xochimilco, local food included and ajolotario.

Hadas_A, Feb 2026

Wonderful tour in Xochimilco

Fantastic tour in Xochimilco, which includes taking a boat ride on a quiet eco-protected canal, a delicious home-cooked meal, and a visit to an axolotl sanctuary. Joss, our guide, was knowledgeable and kind. Highly recommend!

Tour Good!

Good day touring but would have preferred more time on the boat in Xochimilco. That is why we mainly signed up for the tour. With less time at the University. Frida museum was great! Optional buffet lunch was actually pretty good but think we would have preferred trying one of the other local restaurants instead. Maybe too much in one day.

Xochimilco and Coyoacan tour

The tour was outstanding. From the meeting at the pickup spot to the cleanliness of the bus, everything was exceptional. I would add, if you want to buy drinks on the boat tour it would be best to ensure you have pesos (instead of a card) as boat vendors pull up next to yours to buy food and drinks.

Would book again!

I don’t usually travel with tours set up. I do my own research and buy a tour book ( which I do read). This trip I had to see Frieda Kahlo’s house. Huge fan of her work. I was not disappointed. The guides were well informed and I learned a few things I didn’t know. The bus was clean and guides very pleasant. We were able to meet people from other parts of the world! Fun!! Geo was just great. We loved her and her smile.
