Marisol was an excellent tour guide—her communication, engagement, and check-ins made us feel comfortable and welcomed from the start. She is incredibly knowledgeable about Xochimilco, and because it’s her hometown, you could truly sense the pride she has in sharing her culture and history with us. That passion made every story and explanation feel authentic and meaningful. She gave us experiences that were both amazing and unique, taking us beyond the typical tourist spots and into hidden corners that felt genuinely special. It was refreshing to see Xochimilco through the eyes of someone who grew up there, and the “off the beaten path” touches made the day unforgettable. Marisol not only guided us, but also created a connection—she made sure we were engaged, comfortable, and immersed in the experience. If you’re looking for a tour that combines professionalism, local expertise, and genuine hospitality, I highly recommend booking with her. What made the experience stand out was the balance between the must-see highlights and the unique, off-the-beaten-path stops we would have never discovered on our own. Each stop felt intentional, not rushed, and she added meaningful context that brought everything to life. She made us feel at ease, encouraged questions, and created a fun, welcoming atmosphere. We came away with not just beautiful memories but also a deeper appreciation of the town and its people. Marisol made the tour feel less like a transaction and more like spending the day with a passionate local friend. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for an authentic, memorable experience.

Show moreI am so glad that I booked this custom tour. Adriana was a perfect match and did a great job building a tour around my interests. I highly recommend making it the first thing you do after getting to the city. It felt as though I was meeting an old friend to show me around their city. Adriana was so knowledgeable and clearly loves her city very much. She took me off the beaten path and we went places that would have been difficult for me to get to alone. If you have any interest delving a little deeper into Mexico City, its history or culture, then you simply must do this tour. It was one of the highlights of my trip and gave me a lot of confidence to explore on my own.
Show moreWhat made the experience special was having such a knowledgeable guide who really knew Mexico City and Xochimilco inside and out. It made a huge difference to have someone who could easily navigate between locations, share the history and culture of both areas, and even introduce us to trusted local contacts, like our boat operator. I also appreciated learning useful local phrases so we could interact with people ourselves. The guide gave us great tips on where to get the best photos and experience the city’s nightlife. Overall, it was an amazing, well-rounded experience.
