Frances Hensley –
Had an unforgettable time cruising Xochimilco with locals! As a solo traveler, I loved meeting new friends on the boat. I met a lot of people and it was so much fun, especially our guide Majo! The local insights made everything so special – Mexicans are great hosts! A genuine, heartwarming experience that I’d recommend to anyone seeking the real essence of Xochimilco. Thanks again, Majo and the team at Mexico Insider!
