Amazing!
What an amazing experience with Yhara and team. They helped plan everything from start to finish for our trip to Xochimilco and Lucha Libre for 60+ guests. They were on time, professional, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond. I would absolutely use them again when I come to CDMX
Response from the operator: It was great to see you again! and Thank you for trusting on us! We are happy you and your Friends & Family enjoyed your day! hope to see you back again!

Amazing family friendly tour
I was looking for a tour that would be good for my family with 2 kids aged 7 and 9. We wanted to go to Xochimilco, but didn't want to have deal with the "party scene". Yara took us to a more local spot away from the bigger crowds and we even got to go to a spot with real axolotl's which was a huge plus for my kids. Yara was very accommodating with my kids, and gave great info and insight into the history of the neighborhood of Coyoacan. We didn't book enough in advance to get tickets to the Frida house, but still went by and got some great info from Yara about her life and legacy here in Mexico. We also booked a day trip Teotihuacan through Yara's company and had the best day with Luis! Highly recommend if you come to Mexico City!

Great day exploring Xochimilco and Coyoacan
We had a wonderful day with Yhara. This was our first time in MXC and being VW lovers we were excited to book this for our family of 3. Yhara, was knowledgeable about all things MXC, so we not only had a lot of fun we also learned a lot. Yhara took us to a lot of interesting places and she was always kind and patient while we popped into random shops here and there that our son wanted to check out and even an impromptu taco stop (best tacos we had in MXC). The tour ran over our time and we never felt rushed. There were a lot of highlights but one was the axolotl sanctuary and the food along the tour was all very good. Thank you Yhara for a great day!!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review! I am happy to know that you enjoyed your day as much as I did! and I hope to see you back soon !

Fantastic Mexico City Day Tour!
We had a fabulous day with Yhara! We were a family of four traveling with our adult children. Yhara picked us up at our hotel in the fun VW bus and we were off the Coyoacan to enjoy the morning. She told us many stories and shared interesting information obout Mexico City. We appreciated her finding delicious treats for us to try all along the way. We spent the afternoon on a private boat in Xochimilco and again enjoyed traditional Mexican cuisine she arranged for us. It was a fantastic day and I would highly recommend for anyone wanting to learn about Mexico City and experience the vibrant local history, culture and cuisine!!
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking your time to write the review! Thank you for booking and sharing your day with me. I'm very happy to know you enjoyed and I hope to see you back soon!

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Mexico City Private tour to Coyoacan & Xochimilco on 1975 VW Bus: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Mexico City Private tour to Coyoacan & Xochimilco on 1975 VW Bus cost?
+
Prices start at $164 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mexico City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Mexico City Private tour to Coyoacan & Xochimilco on 1975 VW Bus take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mexico City is not rushed.
Is Mexico City Private tour to Coyoacan & Xochimilco on 1975 VW Bus worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Mexico City Private tour to Coyoacan & Xochimilco on 1975 VW Bus?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Mexico City Private tour to Coyoacan & Xochimilco on 1975 VW Bus suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mexico City Private tour to Coyoacan & Xochimilco on 1975 VW Bus?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mexico City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mexico City and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mexico City Private tour to Coyoacan & Xochimilco on 1975 VW Bus start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mexico City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mexico City?
+
On Outty we rank every Mexico City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Teotihuacan 3 Pyramids Tour + Hotel Pick Up + Lunch at La Gruta, Historic Center Essentials: Mexico City Downtown Walking Tour, PREMIUM Frida Kahlo Museum and Xochimilco (Small Groups). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mexico City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mexico City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
