We were a small group of 5 so very easy to hear Paloma our lovely guide. She was a local and very knowledgeable and managed to switch between English and Spanish for all the participants. We went on a Sunday when the traffic wasn’t too bad and it was great to see the locals enjoying themselves. The tour included tickets to the Frida Kahlo museum which skipped the queue!

Iniciamos o passeio um pouco atrasados, pq uma pessoa havia se atrasado. A viagem até Xochimilco é um pouco longa, bom para dormir. O passeio lá é bem bonito, as vezes fica agitado com os mariachis passando mas depois fica tranquilo de novo, assim por diante. De lá fomos para Coyacan. Tivemos um curtíssima passagem pelo zocalo e fomos almoçar no mercado. Almoço foi ok. De lá fomos para o museu da Frida, que tb tivemos pouco tempo para visitar (50min). De lá voltamos direto para CDmX. Fiquei com a sensação de que vi pouco de Coyoacan.
