Overview

Xochimilco has dozens of trajineras — but not all are the same.
Most tours on the canals are open parties: alcohol at full volume, strangers celebrating stag nights, music at maximum power. Fun for some — but it’s not what you want when you go with your kids.
The family tour is completely private. Just your family. Your guide dedicated to you. Your pace.
Children explore 500 years of living Aztec history, taste authentic tacos on a hereditary island, play Mexican Lottery, visit the Sanctuary of Ajolote. Parents enjoy beer, tequila and mezcal in all the comfort of the world — without worrying about the atmosphere around them.
All-inclusive from the get-go: Private transport drinks, food, Mexican sweets, popcorn and an expert guide that makes every minute worthwhile. You don't need to bring anything extra or look outside.
A private sitter. A family. Real Mexico — at whatever pace you decide.

Activity itinerary

Santuario Del Ajolote

  • 20m
  • Admission ticket included
It includes a visit to the Sanctuary of the Ajolote — one of the most fascinating and mysterious beings on the planet, and one of the activities that children enjoy most in all of Mexico City. The ajolote is a unique aquatic salamander in the world, originating precisely from the Xochimilco canals. What makes it extraordinary is its ability to regenerate parts of your body — limbs, organs and even parts of your brain — something no other vertebrate animal can do. To Aztec civilisation he was a sacred being, associated with the god Xolotl, guardian of the underworld. Today the akhote is endangered and only survives wildly in these channels. Seeing one in your natural sanctuary is not just an unforgettable experience — it’s a moment of real connection with nature and with Mexico’s history that children won’t find anywhere else in the world. A stop full of wonder, questions and genuine learning. Exactly what a family tour should have.

Floating Gardens of Xochimilco

  • 2h
  • Admission ticket included
Take your children to navigate the same canals built by the Aztec civilisation more than 500 years ago. Xochimilco is a UNESCO World Heritage Site — a living world where ancestral chinampas still produce food, vendors pass by in boats with flowers and fresh food, and the sound of mariachi fills the air. It’s not a theme park — it’s true history that your kids can touch, taste and live. The family adventure that Mexico City has in store.
