I was waiting for this video, looks so much fun!
Thank you Malcom,
We hope you enjoyed this video as much as we did 🤩🤭 Is one of our favourite ones so far.
Cannot wait to watch the full mexico City travel guide, thank you guys for such an informative video as always. 👍
Awww, thank you again Malcom we are in the works with this one 🤭🤭. Is taking longer than we expected but we will have it very soon, is packed with a lot of information 🤩🤩. Saludos from PDC 🇲🇽 🌊
That’s Lovely! Cheers for more awesome and incredible globetrotting adventures! 🥂❤️✨
Hola Juan 👋👋
Thank you very much for your comment. Are you planning to visit CDMX? We highly recommend Xochimilco is a lot of fun 🤩🤩. Cheers amigo 🤗🤗.
Excelente trabajo muchach@s, y grandes compañeros de aventura
Awwww muchas gracias Sr. Norma, nos dio un gusto haber tomado este tour con ustedes, nos la pasamos genial 👍🏼. Gracias por ver el video y comentar, esto nos ayuda mucho para nuestro canal 🙏🏼☺️🥰
I just found this and want to say "thank you". We will be staying in the city soon and so this was perfect. You both really described the whole process so well. I can't wait. Nativeitas it is!! Happy travels and thank you.
*Hola Mary* 👋👋
Thank you so much for watching and leaving your comment, we're so happy this video gave you the information you needed! Yes, please enjoy Xochimilco is a very cool experience 🫶🙏
Un gran video de.mucha ayuda para los viajeros
Siiiii, siempre hacemos lo posible para ayudar a otros viajeros a sacar el mejor provecho de sus viajes o tours, etc 🙏🏼🙏🏼. Gracias nuevamente, y si sabe de alguien que viaje a Mexico 🇲🇽 compártale el video 🤩🤩
Went there with my grandparents when I was around 16... Beautiful place... I want to go back
Hola amigo 👋
Awww that's so sweet, it must have brought you back memories 🥰🥰. Xochimilco is the perfect place to visit with family and friends. We hope you have the chance to go back in the near future 🙏🙏
Love it! So many things to stimulate the senses! Love the bands. Dolls a little creepy for sure!
Hola Nicolene 👋👋
Yes, we regraded not spending more time here because just 2 hours aren't enough 😔, but maybe next time. Yes, the dolls are quite creepy and that was only the replica because the longer tour includes visiting "doll island" where the real story took place 😳😱.
Hey guys this looks awesome!! Such a fun experience we will do when we go to CDMX! The boats are so colorful, the energy is great! We hope to find a fun family like you guys did to share the boat. Also… won’t be drinking any Michelada’s! 🤣 glad Geovanny survived!
Awww, thank you so much guys 🤗. We think it's a *MUST* to do in CDMX!! So vibrant like what Mexico is. Yes, go early and roam around, preferably Sundays you might find either a local family or some tourists. Lucky Katy speaks Spanish, so chances are higher you find a local family, would be even better 🤭🤭. I will not discourage you, maybe was the only bad one, or probably ask it without Chamoy (as per some local friends) the Chamoy was what made me sick 🤮🤢.
I'll definitely consider visiting when i go next month.
Hola amigo 👋👋
That's awesome, you will have a great time. 🇲🇽🫶
The looks so fun
Yes it is, we highly recommend visiting Xochimilco 🤩🙏
Loved this vid ❤️
Hola amigos 👋👋👋
Thank you very much for watching 🙏. Make sure try one of the Micheladas on your trip to Xochimilco 🤭🤭.
@@ForTheRoadTravels will do 😁
Great video and insight! Which dock do you recommending going to that will be fair in price?
Hola Zach
Thank you so much, we are glad that this video was very helpful for you 🙏. Definitely, Nuevo Nativitas, avoid at all cost Belem dock. If you go with a large group the price can be really affordable otherwise you can do what we did by finding other people and pitch the idea, so it's a win-win for all who are getting in the boat. 🤩
We hope this info helps you as well, and once again thank you for watching and commenting, really help us out!! 🙏🤗
I am also from South Africa! Leaving for Mexico city on monday! Thanks for all your great videos! If you are interested in meeting up, that would be awesome!
Howzit Wade 🫶🤗🇿🇦 Oh my gosh, I love to know you're coming over to experience Mexico, I wish more South Africans would 🇲🇽 We're so glad you've been enjoying them 😊 We're actually based in Playa del Carmen, are you coming to The Riviera Maya on this trip? 😊
Another amazing video guys, I will make sure do not drink a michelada! :P
Hola Malcom 🤗🤗
Awww, thank you so much 🙏. Well, we will not discourage you to drink it, maybe was bad luck and I took the wrong one 🤭 Thank you for watching and commenting as always. We truly appreciate it 🤩🤩
@@ForTheRoadTravels Thank you so much guys! Love your work and how informative your videos are.
Micheladas are AMAZING! And I'm mucho gringo!!
Hi! Would you recommend booking anything prior to getting there or do you think we will be ok to buy there?
For *peace* of mind would be fantastic to book anything in advance, but as you can see we did it on our own.
If you were booking something in advance, check a reputable company by the reviews on either TripAdvisor or Google Maps, however, we use Get Your Guide for other tours and has been great for us www.getyourguide.com/mexico-city-l194/xochimilco-frida-kahlo-and-coyoacan-tour-t28922/?partner_id=42TXFE7¤cy=USD&travel_agent=1&cmp=share_to_earn
Hope this info helps, and thank you so much for watching 🙏🤩
Hi! Just curious how you got sick from the Michelada? Was there ice in it, or was it the toppings or something? I hope to drink a lot of these and avoid the discomfort. Cheers!
Hola amig@,
As per a local friend, who told us after explaining what happened to me, he said that some of the vendors keep the chamoy (which is sweet chilly liquid on the rim of the cup) expose to the sun without any method of keeping it fresh and that might have caused me that severe stomachache. Try them they are really good, I might have been unlucky that day 😜
@@ForTheRoadTravels Gracias!
De nada amigo 🤗🤗
We took a bus there, it was the cheapest option and took a little over an hour to get there. The boat let us ride for 300 pesos. Y’all gotta bargain
*Awesome*, did you guys take the "camion" or "metro". We've taken Uber and metro once to get to Xoximilco. Yeah, it's all about barging with them but you need to know the official prices because if they see that you're a visitor they might try to take advantage. Thanks for watching and commenting 🙌 🤩
necesito una michelada jaja
Hola Stephanie 🤗
Solo asegurate que el "chamoy" que le pongan se encuentre en un lugar fresco y no con la luz del sol directamente 🤭.
Muchas gracias por ver nuestro video, te lo agradecemos infinitamente.
Saludos y ve por tu michelada 🤗😂
was there a alcohol limit ?
Hey Eugenia 🤗 No, they just seem to pour freely. There were lots of people who had definitely had more than their limits by the end of the evening 😅
Extremely important question: what if you have to usar el baño? 🚽😅
Great question, there are actually bathroom stops on request to the "chinampero" (Boat rider). Which you have to pay $5 pesos fee.
Ill do the same thing to save money bro i have a backpack that keeps my drinks cold. Those people over charge for everything. So it 500 pesos 1 hour so if i find a couple its cheaper we just going share the boat together. So $250 pesos sounds like a deal going go with my wife next week if god wants to. Ill be ok for one hour i know they going say get 2 hours you not going see every thing, i be like its cool my money not yours my friend lol.
Hola Rosarito ☺️☺️ oh ya, unfortunately Xochimilco has become so overrun with tourism that prices of micheladas etc have gone crazy. Brining your own food and drink and sharing the boat with someone is definitely the best way to do the tour on a budget 🤩🙏🏼🙌🏼 we hope you have a great time 🥳🥳
Ella quería escuchar historias populares de Xochimilco y yo quería escuchar la historia de como el paisano se ligó a la güera 😅
Trabajando en el extranjero 🤭😍.
Don´t go there. Crooks everywhere
We'd 100% recommend going prepared to avoid getting scammed 🤗 As long as you use the boards we showed in the videos to determine what you should be charged, instead of blindly trusting what the sales men say, you should be just fine 🙏
Looks interesting but I had to stop watching after about 1 minute, as I have seen enough of face masks. Others were not wearing them. I am truly sorry you live in such fear.
Hey William 😊 If you closely, every single person in the metro is wearing a mask. I'm truly sorry you had the time to make such a wild assumption that we live in fear 🫶
