Most organized tours include round-trip transport from central Mexico City and a 2-hour shared trajinera ride. Some include drinks or combine the trip with stops in Coyoacán. Food from floating vendors is usually extra.
Yes. You can bring your own food onto the boats at no extra charge. You can also purchase roasted corn, tacos, and drinks from vendor boats that float alongside your trajinera.

Manuel was a great guide! Unfortunately without knowing much Spanish, I didn’t learn as much as I could have. But the kayaking was really peaceful and enjoyable
It was a great experience, lots of communication, on time for pick up. Totally worth it, everything was excellent!
It was very good experience, Alex y Barbie were the best guides, I had a little issues and they helped me.
