Extremely Disappointed
Our excursion was extremely disappointing. First of all the van was 30 minutes late. What we expected and what we received were quite different. There was a talk regarding Leonardo Di Caprio and the Titanic and we were told we were stopping at the jewelry store where the famous engraver who made the rings for Leo Di Caprio. Pedro said take 15 minutes. We were there over an hour. Then we had churros across the street that we had to pay for. One of my biggest take aways was to tour Frida Kahlo’s house. We did a drive by to take a Ed photo of the house, not an inside view of her life. We were extremely upset. When we visited Coyoacán we were told 30 minutes, but we ended with about 15 minutes. Then we were off to Xochimilco and we were told that we would be getting lunch. No where did it say we would have to pay. Once we got on the boat, it began to thunder and rain very hard. I understand that we have no control over the weather but the people running the route should have been prepared with rain slickers like the other boat tours had. We were all soaking wet. There has to be communication between Viator and the company they subcontract with. I feel that we should be given our money back. It was false advertising.
Response from the operator: Dear guest, thank you for your feedback. We understand your interest in spending more time at Frida Kahlo’s House; however, the visit is specified as a panoramic (exterior) stop within a shared tour (not private), so timings cannot be modified. The silver shop stop lasted approximately 20 minutes, as per the itinerary. Additionally, operations in Mexico City can be affected by traffic, which may impact timing. In Xochimilco, food is optional and not included, as stated in the description. In this case, several factors came together, including weather conditions, shared tour dynamics, and details clearly outlined in the tour description. We appreciate your feedback. Majestic Tours Team

Disappointing Tour
PLEASE READ THE FINE PRINT: we were expecting to visit Frida Kahlo’s Blue House & it was literally a drive by with a few minutes to take pictures in FRONT of the home. A TRUE DISAPPOINTMENT!!!! Instead we spent almost an hour at a Silver Shop as our first stop! It was supposed to be a quick 15 minute stop. UNAM was also just a “drive by” with a mini stop by the stadium for a quick picture. In Xochimilco, a lunch was ordered to eat on the Trinera/boats which was an additional $300 MNX per person with drinks at an additional cost. Although a delicious lunch, o totally unexpected expense. To top it off, it started to rain heavily 10 minutes into our departure from the platform. We were soaked, the boat took in water and basically we turned around so never really experienced this tour. Another disappointment. Our group leaders didn’t provide us with rain jackets like other groups had. I know that tour companies can’t control the weather but they could definitely prepare for it. Had we not wasted time at the silver shop, we might have enjoyed a longer ride. Our driver & tour guide were fine but friendly. We found out that although we purchased our trip through Viator, the company sub-contracts another company therefore itineraries may not match as in our case.

Great experience

Don't waste your money!
Poorly organized and tour guides do not follow schedule. The only real experience is xochimilco and it was very short and late. Spent more time in the car than at any of the locations. All other locations listed are just a drive by's.
Response from the operator: Dear traveler, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We regret that the experience did not meet your expectations. We would like to clarify that the itinerary, estimated times, panoramic stops (drive-by visits), and approximate duration at each location are clearly specified in the official tour description prior to booking. This tour is designed as a panoramic experience combining guided transportation with strategic stops, including the Xochimilco experience. Regarding timing, adjustments may occur due to traffic conditions, operational logistics, or circumstances beyond our control, especially in a dynamic city environment. We always prioritize safety and the overall fulfillment of the itinerary. We appreciate your comments, as they help us continue improving the clarity of our communication for future travelers. Kind regards, Majestic Tours Team

Xochimilco, Casa Frida Kahlo (panoramic) Coyoacan and UNAM: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Xochimilco, Casa Frida Kahlo (panoramic) Coyoacan and UNAM cost?
+
Prices start at $31 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 Xochimilco, Casa Frida Kahlo (panoramic) Coyoacan and UNAM take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Xochimilco, Casa Frida Kahlo (panoramic) Coyoacan and UNAM worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.1/5 across 24 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 Xochimilco, Casa Frida Kahlo (panoramic) Coyoacan and UNAM?
+
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 Xochimilco, Casa Frida Kahlo (panoramic) Coyoacan and UNAM suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Xochimilco, Casa Frida Kahlo (panoramic) Coyoacan and UNAM?
+
Around 8 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Xochimilco, Casa Frida Kahlo (panoramic) Coyoacan and UNAM 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.
