Xoximilco: Cancun's Unforgettable Floating Mexican Fiesta

Not my cup of tea. I knew drinking was a part of it, but I just don’t enjoy being around drunk people. The food was good, the music was good, the location was good, and the concept was good…. Is just that people get stupid when drunk. Our tour guide Arturo was phenomenal. Overall it was cool, but I wouldn’t do it again…. If you like clubbing, drinking stupid, then go for it.

I had researched trips before our holiday and liked the look of this. it wasn't talked about by the rep in resort, which is a shame. However they did offer the tour. We were picked up from the hotel by Julio, who was our guide for the night. We were taken to Xoximilco and upon arrival were met at the 'Hacienda' by a Mariachi band who were excellent! As more people arrived a real party atmosphere was created. The boats are amazing! there was an assortment of Mexican cuisine which was lovely and it was explained with some history by Julio, who it has to be said was absolutely fantastic as a host, especially as we were the only English people on the boat, but this just added to the magic of the trip! The person steering the boat was Rolando who was just as fabulous and made a great double act with Julio, both dancing and making sure everyone was ok and having a great time. Meeting other boats was incredible especially stopping to join in with the Mariachi bands on route. The games were fun especially as communication was by gestures and lots of smiles! I cannot recommend highly enough. Thank you Julio & Rolando for making one of our nights in Mexico all the more special :)

We were a group of 4, great night out, was fun floating down the canal and having the captain guide us around to all the music stops was great. We really enjoyed our night. Food was good but it's more like an authentic Mexican meal with different flavors and tastes. We enjoyed the food. Lots of alcohol included, we enjoyed the Mexican music and culture. Our only complaint would have been was that as a group of 4 English speaking people, the rest of the boat were all Spanish speaking people and the tour guide was not very accommodating to us when it came to translating the information on the tour in English. We missed alot of the information because the guide was kind of ignoring us as we were sitting at the very back of the boat so we missed alot of what was taking place and and he didn't seem interested in translating to English for us and was just spending all his time catering to all the Spanish speaking people on the boat. I would do this tour again if I knew that we could be placed on a boat with a majority of English speaking people. We did enjoy our time and I would recommend it to others, just need to have guides that spend equal time with all tourists.

Xplor was fun alot of activities to do in a big park, it was honestly alot bigger than i thought , my favorite activity was driving the car on the dirt path and the river to swim in …. If i ever come back to mexico i would personally do Xplor again …. U get alot for ur money, pulse the food and drinks always great

Amazing and fun experience. I am returning next year and going to book the same tour. The trip doesn’t include the photos but definitely bought the photo package which was the best thing I did.

So glad I did this! Definitely an experience to remember. Don't wear heels though because there is a bit of walking.

One of the best and memorable moments on our trip to Cancun our guide Levin was awesome 😎👌👍🏼 I highly recommend this tour for every one that visits Cancun
