Guides vary by departure; Pato, Samantha, and Aldo are among those who have led tours.

“Pick up was delayed so there was a lot of traffic getting to Xochimilco. There was a jam with the boats so we did nt get to lunch until 3pm and we were taken to a market that had very unhygienic conditions and all 6 of us got sick. Better restaurant should be chosen that’s clean and healthy for small group. We did not have any time to roam around the Cocaban market . Frida Kahlo museum is really nice. Guide had to translate everything in Spanish and English so it seemed like she talked the whole day. Exhausting and not well organized .”
