Xochimilco: The 15 Best Trajinera Boat Trips

41 tours

Xochimilco is what remains of the lake system Mexico City was built on, and the chinampas farmed there are still worked. The trajineras are flat painted punts hired by the hour, and they get loud on a Sunday. Which ones include Coyoacán and the Casa Azul, how long you are on the water, and what food and drink comes with it. 15 to choose from.

1.Xochimilco, Coyoacan and Frida Kahlo with Optional Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 7,320 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $34Our number one

Southern Mexico City in 9 hours: Coyoacán, UNESCO Xochimilco canals on a trajinera boat, optional Frida Kahlo tickets, and optional lunch.

“Great destinations, but very poor organization and guiding. At the first stop, I stayed on the bus briefly to get my child’s medication and was left behind with no indication of where the group went. There was no roll call, and this happened to other guests throughout the day as well. When concerns were raised, the response was dismissive. The tour mostly consisted of being dropped off and told when to return, with little guidance or context, making it feel like a transportation service rather than a guided tour. Overall, an all-day experience with a lot of wasted time and limited value.”

“Great guide! Pato is not just a guide but a storytelller. As a former teacher she knows her stuff! We forgot a cellphone in the van after drop off at the hotel. She was easy to reach because of the whatsapp follow up booking message. Phone was easily recoverd within 1 hr. She gave us so much info on the life of Kahlo that we felt prepared for self guided museum portion of the Casa Azul visit. Both her and our driver Jesus are excellent professionals with a high standard of customer service. Xochimilco was fun but I expected more open water. There are manmade islands with structures and I…”
