  Fun to ride. The food offered is not very good but the ambiance is a lot of fun. Live music available for your boat. It is over crowded with boats.

  Mixed feelings about this place. When I got there I felt a bit overwhelmed. Several people approach you to offer a boat ride (trajinera). It felt a hit sketchy at first. Most places advertise $500 for an hour ride, but I read online that it could cost as low as $350. That was my price and that was what we ended up paying. The boats are big and some can host up to 20 passengers. You bring your own drinks and food on board. There are several sites on the docks where you can get your drinks. Otherwise, in typical Mexican style you can buy food and drinks while on the ride as there are several smaller boats riding alongside and selling you all sort of snacks.
  All in all I enjoyed the experience.

  Great vibe, very touristy but fun. Can be rented out for a few hours to celebrate with friends. Got into some quarrel between gondoliers pushing in opposite directions go through tight passages. Once in a life time thing, I guess.

  One of the most beautiful places in Mexico City, I had so much fun there. Oh I love Mexican people, their food, and handmade goods. In here, you can have a water tour in one of the world heritage sites, eat fresh cooked food inside the water, enjoy listening to the mariachi music, and also you can shopping very nice souvenirs with great prices. I went there with Amigo tours, I highly recommend it for you.

  A must go for tourists visiting Mexico and looking for an authentic, original place. I came here on a Monday and it was not crowded at all. Musicians prices range from 50 to 150 pesos and they even knew Argentine tango songs. The water is not the cleanest but that is not the point. Very colorful boats and the personnel was incredibly accommodating and kind.

  The Embarcadero de Nativitas is the best place to ride the trajineras in Xochimilco. There are plenty of staff to guide you to the boats and they tell all kinds of tall tales during the boat ride. Never chose Cuemanco Embarcadero over Nativitas. The trip to see the dead doll’s island is not a must, as there are several other similars and the story is the most important!

  Very contaminated water, the service sucks, everyone wants to force a sale in you, other than that, nice colors!

  Pier for group traveling through Xochimilco's lazy River. A pretty experience to realize how CDMX surroundings were 500 years ago - except for polution, obviously - Enjoy eating, drinking and dancing inside a "Trajinera" (traditional flat boat) and visit other famous locations while you shop handcrafts, plants and many more. Note:The river's water is not drinkable!

  We come here once a year for the boat ride. Fun, they will even let you "pole" the boat if you want to try. Great for kids and adults. Be careful of the food if you are not used to street vendors.

  This is the best place to go to take Trajineras in Xochimilco. The fares are fix, so there's no room for being conned, as we have experienced in other embarcaderos. There's a nice market too, and small convenience stores to buy drinks or snacks. Ample parking also

  Great for the experience. The moment you arrive you xochimilco, you will be bombarded with people trying to sell you their business. Here are my advices:
  
  The price is in display $350.00 pesos per hour, I boats that can carry up to 20 people however the price can be negotiate if you ask. Mine went down to $300.00. The more friends you bring the better.
  I strongly suggest you bring your own drinks and food, even tough the drinks and food are not crazy expensive during your ride it can add up.
  There is a ride that last about 10 hours, it's beautiful, it will cost $3500.00 pesos, around $200 usd, but, as I stated, the boat can tasks up to 20 pax, made the math 10 dollars per person for 10 hours it's amazing. tip is optional but appreciate.

  Search for a boat, don't take any offers beforehand. Lots of sketchy people. Our people were perfectly nice until the payment. Very awkward process to pay for our beers

  Awesome place to take your food for a river ride. A little bumpy cause they're so many boats you bump into other people. My kids loved it. Definitely worth the visit.

  Pretty nice activity. You can buy stuff on the boat since people are asking you every 2 minutes. This is like a little Venise with bigger boats
