    Spending an entire day with Laila was delightful, entertaining, insightful, but above all, an amazing learning experience about the chinampas and its ecosystem. I would highly recommend this kayaking experience.

    This kayak tour in the early morning at Xochimilco is one of the most magical tours we have ever done in all of our travels. First, you watch the sun rise over the chinampas and then you get to enjoy an amazing Mexican breakfast on a farm. We got to see a one day old cow and of course an axolotl. I feel like we really dove into the culture and had an authentic experience instead of the tourist-centered trajineras. It was amazing. Laila is a wonderful guide who feels more like a friend after our adventures! I highly recommend this tour! Even though it’s early, you will not regret it!

    Such a wonderful tour, full of new information and unique experiences! Laila is so warm and inviting, providing so much context and translation assistance. The other guides (Juan and Diego) were so knowledgeable about the canals, chinampas, and farming practices. The chef (whose name i unfortunately missed) prepared us an astounding meal with products largely from the chinampa we visited. The canals are so beautiful in the morning with the mist and the birds everywhere. The history and context we were given only added to the magic, didn't overwhelm at all. Getting to see how foods have been produced for thousands of years, in alignment with nature, was surprisingly fun. Getting to eat a delicious breakfast prepared from those foods in that location --stellar! The cats, cows, goats, chickens, and axolotls only made things better, while adding a little extra interest for the kiddo. Absolutely recommend this tour to anyone with an interest in the indigenous history of the area or an appreciation for natural beauty. Or just wanting to get some history and context before the more common trajinera experience. Definitely worth the early wake-up, I promise.

    So interesting and wonderful. Leila is an exceptional guide. We visited a fruit and vegetable growing region near Mexico City. This region is an island. Yes, an island, because Mexico City was once a lake. We accessed it by kayak. The kayaks are very stable and super easy to handle. We saw rare species of salamander (Axolotl) and how they help them to reproduce. A fantastic day. I recommend it 100%. It's a must-do.

    As this is a water tour we strongly recommend you to bring waterproof clothes and waterproof shoes if possible, jacket, towel and another change of clothes and shoes for when the activity is over so that you feel comfortable in case you get wet. We promote tours and activities that connect you with nature so that we can take care of it, we kindly ask you to bring your thermos of water so that we don't pollute with water bottles. For sunrise experience, bring a good jacket, gloves, and things you may need for cold, the atmosphere is very humid and cold at that hours, but it definitely worth it! Professional cameras are welcome, just be careful with the water.
