We booked this tour based on it's itinerary and reviews. We do enjoy an occasional private tour. We were picked up on time at our hotel. Veronica was our guide and was amazing. We went to a flower market before getting on the floating boat. The ride was lovely. Veronica told us a lot about the city it's history and culture. We went to the Diego Rivera museum which is amazing. Then to the Coyocan market where we grabbed a bite to eat and have some free time. Then the Frida Kahlo museum which is a must see. The driver was excellent, smoothly guiding us around the city. We also stopped at the University which wads fascinating. Veronica is very proud of her city and it shows. Her energy and enthusiasm were palpable. The price for what you get is a real bargain. Highly recommend

My husband and I really enjoyed this show. I read such mixed reviews that I didn’t know if we should go, but I’m so glad we did. First and foremost, get your tickets from a reputable ticket agent. You get on a boat, but depending on where staying, there are two boats that leave from different marinas and different times. You can opt for premium service, but it’s not necessary. The evening starts with a boat ride, then you get off on an island, have dinner and watch a show. You can opt to have open bar, which is what most people do. The boat staff were great! Very friendly, funny and very accommodating. You are immediately served drinks, music is played, then the crew put on a funny dance exhibition. When you get off the boat, you walk for a bit to get to the dining areas. The walk is sandy and there are a few steeper steps, so I recommend wearing shoes to accommodate this. I had on flip flops with a good tread and had no issues, but if you are an unsteady walker, keep this in mind. The dinner was a buffet and was decent-don’t expect a gourmet meal. There were several things to choose from-salads, cheeses, beans, rice, roasted vegetables, fish, shrimp, chicken and beef. You won’t go hungry! It is not self serve, most likely due to covid. Dessert is included too. The show was very good. It’s a combination of singing, dancing and acrobatics and cool lighting, somewhat like Cirque de Soleil. Not quite at that level, but very good and very entertaining. My husband and I both really enjoyed it. The boat ride back was lots of fun. The boat staff (boat #5) put on a performance of their own, which was hilarious! I recommend this primarily for adults. There is nothing inappropriate for kids, but it’s pretty much a party boat. If you are looking for a fun excursion, I recommend it.

This tour starts at the beautiful Hacienda of the XVIII Century, which is one of the most famous in the State. It belonged to Pedro Romero de Terreros, Count of Regla. We will continue towards Huasca de Ocampo, where we will see one of the attractions, “The Basaltic Prisms”. These 30 meters tall prisms are geometric basaltic columns that decorate the walls of the impressive canyon of Santa María Regla, with its walls bathed by the four waterfalls that feed the San Antonio Regla dam and the San Miguel Regla Hacienda. The tour continues in the English pantheon, where every grave is aiming towards England, and apart from enjoying the view, a local will tell you interesting stories about the place. We will visit the magic town of Real del Monte, here you will have time to travel the streets, and also 4 hours to taste (on your own) the delicious pastes, pulque bread, nata bread, tamales and many other varieties of the cuisine of Hidalgo. We will then give you free time to shop.
