Avoid - unprofessional and no sense of customer service

Sandeep_S, Dec 2025

Picked this operator because we weren't looking for a party boat and the previous reviews were favorable. However, our experience was pretty bad. We reached the indicated address by Uber 10 minutes before the given time. The exact instructions were, "Upon arriving at the dock, look for the canoes, the monkey, and ask Raul." No one knew any Raul at the dock. So, I called the number. Whoever picked up said that someone would come by to meet us. When no one showed up for another few minutes, I called again. This time I was told to send a selfie which I did. But there was no sign of anyone so I took a picture of the dock and surroundings so that they knew where exactly we were and called again. This time, the guy says that we were at the wrong dock (old instead of new) and we should take an Uber to get to the new dock. This was surprising because we had followed the exact instructions/address given. But we didn't know any better so we got into an Uber. The Uber driver was thoroughly confused, he said that we were at the new dock. But he was kind enough to another boat operator who spoke English. He took us to the dock again, spoke to another operator who apparently knew Raul and called him. Apparently, this Raul guy asked him to take us on the boat ride. We did end up going on the boat ride some 45 minutes late after a lot of inconvenience. The boat ride itself was ok - I guess it would have been more enjoyable if we didn't have such a hard time leading up to it. Avoid this operator - doesn't have any sense of professionalism or customer service!

Hello, it's unfortunate to hear about your experience. We offer a complete service including transportation, tour guide, and visit to Xochimilco. The price is higher, but we are experts in providing this service. The tour you booked has the exact address of the meeting point: Canoas El Chango at the Nuevo Nativitas pier. You arrived at the Nativitas pier. That is your mistake. Therefore, we don't believe your mistake of entering the wrong Uber address is our problem. Remember that our address is at the Nuevo Nativitas pier. Be careful with Ubers and Xochimilco motorcycles that might try to take you to other piers. We offer tours with transportation and a guide at the best prices on the market.

Awesome tour!

Highly recommended tour. It is all you need to enjoy Xochimilco and the trajinera, without all the hassle. We'll definitely go back again.

Great Xochimilco experience with David

Betsy_D, Oct 2025

David gave us a great experience today. He picked up our family of four in his nice clean car, gave us some history and accompanied us on the Xochimilco ride as well as through the markets. He was very professional and friendly. We definitely recommend this and him! One tip he shared, try to go earlier in the day (9:30/10) to avoid traffic
