About this tour
A 2-hour party on a traditional trajinera boat through Xochimilco's canals, centred on unlimited tequila and beer alongside Mexican snacks and mezcal tasting. You'll play traditional games, receive photos of the outing, and get small souvenirs. It suits groups after a festive afternoon rather than anyone seeking a cultural deep-dive—the focus is celebration and drinks on the water.
Highlights
- Unlimited tequila and beer throughout the 2-hour canal journey
- Mezcal tasting with locally-sourced ingredients and flavour combinations
- Traditional Mexican games and interactive elements on the boat
- Authentic snacks and cold beverages included
- Digital photos provided to take home
- Small local souvenirs as keepsakes
- Fully wheelchair-accessible trajinera and supporting facilities
- Hosted by two local guides with direct ties to the area
What to expect
You'll board a brightly-painted trajinera (flat-bottomed boat) with other guests and set off through Xochimilco's famous canal network. Once underway, unlimited drinks are available—tequila, beer and water—paired with snacks and a structured mezcal tasting that introduces flavour variations and traditional preparation methods. Between drinks, you'll participate in traditional games designed for groups, and the hosts will orchestrate moments they keep deliberately vague beforehand.
Throughout the 2 hours, the boat remains your venue; there are no stops for separate activities. You'll receive printed or digital photos by the end, small mementos to take with you, and the experience wraps up back at the departure point. The pace is social and relaxed rather than rushed.

Good to know
This suits groups of friends or colleagues after a lively afternoon; it's not a cultural heritage tour despite the Mexican framing. The experience centres on alcohol consumption, so it's best for adults comfortable with drinking in a group setting. All areas are wheelchair-accessible and prams/strollers are permitted; infants must sit on a lap. Gratuities are not included and may be expected by hosts. Public transport is nearby for getting to/from the departure point. No specific group-size cap is stated, but trajineras hold a defined number; confirm the headcount when booking. Suitable for all fitness levels. Weather can affect comfort on an open boat.
