MEXICO CITY XOCHIMILCO TOUR ITINERARY
We will arrive at Coyoacán early in the morning, undoubtedly the best time to stroll around, get to know and enjoy the colonial district of Coyoacán, one of the oldest districts of the Federal District, located in the south of Mexico City.
Coyoacán is a vibrant area of Mexico City and its population is made up of people from all ages, nationalities and ethnic backgrounds. It is undoubtedly known for its mix of cultures and lifestyles, people from all walks of life can be found; students, artists, painters, a neighborhood of diversity and tolerance, where all kinds of people can find their place.
A neighborhood with a wealth of culture, history and traditions that stands out for its relaxed atmosphere and bohemian lifestyle. Our guide will show you the most emblematic places and curiosities of this exciting place. Of course we will pass by the old house of Frida Khalo or also called Casa Azul as well as the famous “Fuente de los Coyotes“.
After the visit and free time, the whole group will go to Xochimilco, time to share opinions and break the ice on the exciting Trajinera ride through the canals of Xochimilco.
Famous for its canals surrounded by nature and its colorful boats, known as trajineras, this town is located in the southern part of Mexico City and is one of the main tourist destinations in the area.
Xochimilco was founded in the 16th century, during the colonial period. Since then, it has become an important center of commerce, agriculture and tourism.
An exclusive and distinguished Trajinera from Exotik City Tours will be waiting for us. High quality sound on board, selected drinks and the best traditional Mexican food with delicious handmade quesadillas (chicken, mushrooms, cheese, huitlacoche, flor de calabaza…) to explore the Xochimilco canals aboard our captain. In Mexico there is no party without Mariachis! Yes, we will have Mariachis on board to delight us with the best Mexican atmosphere!
You can’t leave Mexico City without visiting the emblematic neighborhood of Coyoacán and sailing in a Trajinera through the canals of Xochimilco, a perfect combination to enjoy a morning in this exciting excursion.

Some frequently asked questions about Xochimilco tour
In our excursion agency we are known for offering excursions with small groups, the average is about 8 people and our maximum in some of the excursions would be 16 people.
We maintain the same philosophy as our company in Riviera Maya. It cannot be compared to going in buses of 50 people where time is lost in each of the activities because of the waiting people and where it is very difficult to listen to the guide. If you want to enjoy the best excursions in Mexico City, it is best to have a group of less than 16 people.
Being a small group we were able to quickly form a very familiar and close atmosphere, both among the people in the group and with the relationship with our guide and driver. Going with Exotik is like spending a day with friends!
