Xochimilco boat tour reviews
I read all eighty. GetYourGuide publishes ten traveller reviews in the page data for each of the eight tours on this site, which is what you see quoted here — first name, star rating and the words as written. Every one of the eighty is five stars. Two of these products average less than that, so read each overall score alongside the quotes.
Ten reviews beside the full score
The Frida Kahlo day trip carries 4.4 across 3,894 reviews — more reviews than the other seven tours here put together. The Coyoacán trip carries 4.0 across 357. Each page quotes the ten available reviews with the overall rating next to them.
The opposite problem shows up at the other end. The women-led food tour rates a perfect 5.0 — off fifteen reviews. Ten of those fifteen are on its page, which means two thirds of everything ever written about that product is quoted in one place. For comparison, another tour here holds 4.9 across 631.
The eight tours, cheapest first
Prices and ratings were read on 13 August 2026 from each product’s own data with the currency set to Mexican pesos. They move. Ratings and review counts move faster.
Traditional trajinera sightseeing tour
The benchmark: cheapest per head, best rated with a large review count — though its ten reviews focus on other parts of the day than the canal.

Kayaking in hidden Xochimilco
Not a trajinera, no published meeting point, and one guide’s first name in nine of the ten reviews.

Food and trajinera ride with local women
Five stars off fifteen reviews. We can read ten of them, and two of the ten disagree about whether the boat is quiet.

- The rating and the review count travel together.
- Reviews get quoted, never rewritten. Complaints inside five-star reviews stay in.
- Where reviews differ from a product’s description, that is noted near the top of the page.
- Every tour keeps its own page.
Before you read any of them, do the division
The official trajinera tariff set by the Alcaldía Xochimilco is MX$750 pesos an hour for the whole boat, and a trajinera takes up to eighteen people. Every tour reviewed here is priced per person. Two hours of your own boat is MX$1,500 whether there is one of you or fourteen, so the cheapest tour here beats hiring at one or two people and loses from three up. If there are three or more of you and one of you can agree a price in Spanish at a dock gate, hiring the boat works out cheaper. The full working is on what a trajinera costs.
Then pick a dock: which embarcadero to leave from. Or see all eight tours side by side.
Frequently asked questions
Are these Xochimilco tour reviews real?
They are the traveller reviews published in each tour’s own GetYourGuide page data, quoted verbatim with the reviewer’s first name and star rating. Ten per tour, eighty in total. They appear as written.
Why is every quoted review five stars?
Because that is what the sample contains — all eighty reviews in the pool are five stars. Two of these tours rate 4.4 and 4.0, so the ratings that pulled those averages down are not in the sample. Read the aggregate score and the review count next to the quotes, not the quotes alone.
Which Xochimilco tour has the most reviews?
The Frida Kahlo, Coyoacán and Xochimilco day trip, with 3,894 — more than the other seven combined. It is rated 4.4 overall.
Do you make money if I book one of these?
Yes. If you book through a link here, GetYourGuide pays a commission and you pay the same price you would pay going direct. See the affiliate disclosure.
