About this activity

Escape the ordinary and dive into the vibrant soul of Mexico City on this exclusive private tour. Glide through the ancient floating gardens of Xochimilco aboard a traditional trajinera, where the echoes of Aztec history meet the lively sounds of mariachi music. Savor the moment with a refreshing drink in hand as you float past colorful boats and lush landscapes, immersed in a one-of-a-kind experience.

Then, step into the cobblestone streets of Coyoacán, a neighborhood bursting with charm, history, and artistic spirit. Wander through its picturesque plazas, visit bustling markets filled with fragrant spices and handmade treasures, and taste authentic Mexican flavors, fresh churros.

With an expert guide by your side, uncover the stories behind this bohemian district, once home to Frida Kahlo. Flexible, immersive, and tailored to your interests, this private tour is the perfect way to experience two of Mexico City’s most magical destinations.
