Beautiful and relaxing. Loved the scenery, our tour guide and the Mariachi bands all along the river.
One of a kind unique experience. If you visit Mexico City, do yourself a favor and visit it. Relaxing scene, simple yet good tasting snacks and drinks. Rides could be 1-3 hours. Small tourist shops outside for buying souvenirs
Horrible experience!! Came during the week, the trajinera attendant lied to us stating there were mariachis and there were none at that time, 5:30 we got there. Plus we were scammed by being extremely overcharged!!! We were charged $10,500 pesos for 2 hours. Later we found out that the cost is of $750 pesos for 3 hours regardless of the amount of people, I.e. 1-16. BE CAUTIOUS OF THESE PEOPLE, and do your research first! Plus they wanted to charge us 10% for using a credit card and, charged the street parking, and it wasn’t even an actual parking lot. We bought our tickets directly from them, DON’T DO IT!! It’s better to buy your tickets on line and not from the people there as you’re offers unlimited drinks, snacks!
If I could do it over would have skipped booking a third party tour, Ubers here, negotiated them down to $30 /hour for the boat. Our tour took us to 3 other places that sucked but this is a must in Mexico City in my opinion
A group of us did a short tour and we had so much fun. Definitely bring your own food on board but buy drinks and a mariachi band from the locales to help support their businesses.
Great time to rent boat and chill. You can a chill boat with just you and one person or even have a big old party on your boat. You can drink eat and have mariachis play. They have boats on the river that serve drinks and food. Just make sure you cash. The market is nice and prices can be negotiated. Food is good. They even have a small show where they climb the pole and spin from a rope while they play music.
A lovely attraction, a little difficult to get to for a short ride.
While eating on the boat is. Avery quaint idea I would say it's worth eating at a taco stand before hand as a meal on the boat will set you back about 200pesos as opposed to 20.
Best to pair up with other tourists as the price is per hour and not per person. It'll set you back 500 pesos, maybe 400 if you haggle.
The mariachi bands Are a nice addition for only 150 pesos

Great experience. We took an uber ride here. It was a Monday so it was not that busy with the boats which was great. In the beginning we got some beer and soft drink in a big ice buck and at the end we paid how much we drank. It was 30 pesos per drink so really cheap. The food they are selling from other boats were really cheap too. It's a nice half day program.
