You’ll visit the floating flower gardens of Xochimilco! The islands you’ll discover here are the last vestige of the ancient Aztec’s agricultural system. These canals were used to create an intricate system of irrigation waterways. This promises to be an experience for the senses as you visit the vibrant Xochimilco market and feast on prehispanic cuisine.
Personalization and flexibility are key to this experience. You can totally customize your experience as you would like. The meeting place and timing are also flexible.
Enjoy this heritage site at your own speed with a highly engaging and knowledgeable local guide.

A pleasant and surprising walk with a thousand colors and typical atmospheres. Lots of traffic on the canal but overall it’s smooth! It’s perfect for a family outing.

I had never booked any experiences through Tripadvisor, this was the first (and would have to think twice before trying it again) since the tour never materialized. I paid on the 29th of December and received an email, indicating that I would get an email with a survey and more details "shortly" to custom our PRIVATE & PERSONALIZED tour.
Never heard from anybody back. Since our tour was scheduled for the 1st of January, I got concerned and tried to contact the operator and the guide the day prior, the 31st of December. Again, no reply.
I finally got a communication at 10:40 am of the "day of" the tour which was scheduled for 12:00 noon. By that time, I had already made other plans and cancelled it trough my CC.
Overall, it was very unfortunate and disappointing. Most of all, unprofessional.
Hopefully, someone from the coordinating company reads this message and can fix this so that it doesn't happen again.

We had a great time with Roberto, he has a wealth of knowledge about the surrounding area. Roberto also pointed out an incredible seafood restaurant that we had the best meal during our stay.

We had a great tour that included visiting the market, tasting local foods and then the boat ride down the lagoon. Our guides were informative, had a good sense of humor and made for a nice day!

This is the first time we have booked with City Unscripted as we wanted to pick where we went for our tour. Alan was our guide for the day and he made this tour exactly to our interests. Alan was the most knowledgeable guide we had in Mexico, he knew everything about everything it didn't matter what topic we threw at him he was able to discuss and give us the history and cultural perspectives. Alan went out of his way to ensure the tour was accommodating to our needs, which included taking us to find a napolas necklace, which included a couple of markets. Alan took us on an ecological experience on our floating gardens adventure and then we headed to the flower markets where the flowers actually come from the floating gardens, This is where I was in heaven, if you love bonsai, cactus, or really flowers from any description you MUST go here, it is truly magic. Alan then took us to the university and the sculpture scene shaped like a volcano, which was also great to see and hear about, then he went once again out of his way to detour past Frida Kahlo house and museum filling us in on the history. Alan knew everything about everything to do with Mexico and was so enjoyable having conversations with him. If you want a personal experience please ask for Alan, I will definitely book with City Unscripted on our next holiday.

Well first of all, we had a wonderful guide for the day and floating gardens was part of it.What a relaxing and pleasant experience this was. A couple of hours and the canal was a live with local music, crafts and food. I totally recommend it and if you can snag Alejandro as a guide for this or any other aviator experience do it!

We enjoyed the day very much, especially our guide and the Delores Omeda museum. The museum was very definitely the highlight. We also appreciated going to a quiet area in the canals.

We had a great day at the xochimilco gardens, the xochimilco flower market and the Alameda museum with Alan Tanus, our guide. He was prompt, he was remarkably friendly, and he was a wealth of knowledge. He obviously had read our feedback and attempted to cater our trip specific to our requests and interests.
