* On weekends, the area is usually very busy, so if you want a a more relaxing experience, I recommend booking the tour for a day from Monday to Thursday.
* The trajinera is not a motor boat, it moves through a man who rows, so I invite you to tip him, believe me, it is hard work!
* Generally everything that is sold in this area must be paid in cash.

“ Fantastic Tour ”
Oskar spoke perfect English and was extremely friendly. He is well educated and his knowledge of history, architecture and culture of the city was appreciated. He was very flexible with his tour and took us to places we would never have found ourselves. A great way to spend our only day in CDMX. Thank you Oskar.
