We had Ivan as a guide and he was so much fun. The boats were so colorful and fun and the tide was entertaining. The canals were interesting. Stopping for a quick lunch was fun, food was yummy, location was pretty. It was a fun party, playing games and making drinks. Would definitely recommend this tour and would 100% recommend Ivan!

Hugo was awesome. A great and fun host. He was also timely and provided great instructions on meeting point.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you so much for this great review — Hugo will be so happy to hear this! Being punctual, clear with instructions, and making every guest feel welcome from the very first moment is something we take very seriously. We know that arriving to an unfamiliar meeting point in a new city can feel uncertain, so we always make sure our guests feel guided and confident before the experience even begins. And once it does begin — well, that's where Hugo truly shines. His energy, warmth, and passion for sharing this experience is something our guests feel from start to finish. Thank you for trusting us with your night in Mexico City. We hope to see you again soon!
