I’ve seen a few videos about Xochimilco, but this is the first one that actually made me really want to go 😊

[@TouristtoLocal]

Oh thank you so much! That’s so kind. It’s a lovely place :)

[@AshleyNewellDotMe]

Martin's mom is so lovely! What a fun day!

[@TouristtoLocal]

Thanks so much for watching!

[@cindyk3076]

Very cool to meet Martin's mom! The boat ride looks like a lot of fun, I too would choose to go early.

[@TouristtoLocal]

Glad you enjoyed meeting her. She is a great lady. Thanks for watching!!

[@Learningtotravel]

At 12:02 just casually floating past a bunch of weird doll parts. 🤣Great video! We are headed there in a few days and this was very helpful. Thanks!

[@DesertLifeCooks]

I love this! I'm so glad you two are back in Mexico and Martins family seems so sweet. I definitely want to go on one of these boat rides one day. You guys make it looks so fun. The chamoy on the KFC cup made me laugh. The Best! 💐🌸🌵🇲🇽🥰💞👍🏻

[@TouristtoLocal]

Awwwwww thank you so much! We are so glad you enjoyed it :) hopefully you can come here one day! It’s a fun time!!!

[@MsOnitemi]

Wow you guys do such an amazing job showcasing the hidden beauty of Mexico!

[@TouristtoLocal]

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@EricandSarah]

This was so much fun to watch! Definitely something we missed when we went to Mexico City. But always a reason to come back! Also so great to meet Martin's mom - what a sweet lady. Que les vaya bien 🤗

[@TouristtoLocal]

You should totally go next time! We think you guys would love it :) thanks for watching!!

[@mf_TRIPLE-A]

Nice vid! I live a block away from there! Embarcadero Nativitas. You can bring food and drinks (liquor included) and yes its recommended cause it gets pricey on the ride... Now it 750/hr

[@TouristtoLocal]

Ooooh thanks so much for the insider updates!!!

[@christopherarkills8912]

Great video! Your Spanish is very good,Juliana. Martin’s mom is lovely.

[@TouristtoLocal]

Thank you! 😃

[@erniegutierrez2288]

Wow Xochimilco! Saludos to Martin's mom!! Juliana's Spanish gets an A+!! That Sope with Nopal looked delicious! Im surprised nopal hasnt caught on as a healthy trend up here being so nutritious. Xochimilco has always been on my CDMX list. Ive always been interested in its sustainable farms and the infamous island of the dolls! Great vid! "Like"

[@TouristtoLocal]

Thank you so much! So glad you enjoyed this video 🩷🩷🩷

[@Krystal_Kitty7]

Love it I will definitely stop by when I’m in Mexico at the end of the month can’t wait ❤❤

[@TouristtoLocal]

Have the best time!

[@tessbeasley]

Also it was so fun seeing you speak Spanish Juliana. I need to up my skills🙈

[@TouristtoLocal]

Oh thank you 🥹🩷 honestly I get a lil insecure about my Spanish on this channel, so I’m working on overcoming that.

[@EatBailaTravel]

Aw I saw one with my mom's name! Leonor ❤

[@TouristtoLocal]

Omg good eye!!! That’s a unique name too!!

[@susancastro2102]

Awesome vid!! So excited to visit! How much do they charge to play a song or two? I’d be too shy to ask 😅

[@jleongc8332]

Que buena pareja hacen, los dos son muy agradables y sus videos son muy buenos....

[@TouristtoLocal]

Muchas gracias ❤️❤️❤️

[@rkooscar6866]

Love this channel. Will be visiting in 2025

[@sheilabjeletich5038]

I sent your video to my friend. He wants to experience Xochimilco.

[@TouristtoLocal]

Thank you so much!

[@tessbeasley]

I loved this! It would’ve been nice to see the process of getting there, I’ve heard that people will try to tell you certain ports are closed and try to redirect your car. It’s just me and my husband and I always saw this as a group activity but I feel like if we just go earlier in the day like you guys did we would love it!

[@TouristtoLocal]

If it’s just you two, going earlier is going to be perfect! Martin and I did that the first time I went and it was perfect. Set your Uber drop off to Nativitas Embarcadero - you won’t run into any problems going to that port :) thanks for the support as always!!

[@tessbeasley]

Oh that’s great info, thank you! Also, how early is early? I feel like it’s different in Mexico vs the US🤭

[@Coolyeaman]

I heard the water smells do you have any input on that will be going in a few weeks

[@TouristtoLocal]

It really didn't smell in our opinion!

[@Info4JPerez]

Would you have recommendations on the safest places to stay in Mexico city? Have you stayed in hotels?? If so which one would you suggest in Mexico city??

[@TouristtoLocal]

We loved staying in Coyoacan! It felt super safe :) We stayed in an Airbnb there! The centro area is also good. Hampton Inn & Suites Mexico City - Centro Historico was great!

[@porfiriato84]

Oh gawd the most cringe question to ask 🙄

[@mariafernandez6222]

Thank you for this video. It has given me an idea of what to do as I’m planning on traveling there soon.

[@christianramirez5437]

Deberian ir a puente de urrutia oh a la cienega esta en xochimilco por Caltongo

[@jessmndza_]

Your spanish is so good Juliana! How long did it take to you learn & was it easy for you??

[@TouristtoLocal]

Oh shucks, thank you!!! I studied it throughout high school and minored in spanish in college. I had the chance to study abroad in chile and mexico as well, and that probably helped me the most to learn!

[@theresabustamante7140]

Hola gusto vilverlos a ver de nuevo. Que paso con sus amigos lis kinetica?

[@ivanmoreno9789]

hahah me being from the north of mexico and hear you say una quesadilla con queso I was like whaaaaaat!!! lol nice tho.

[@TouristtoLocal]

[@LuisRivera-ji2qd]

Hola. Eres genial 👍🏼 saludos 🇲🇽

[@desdelapieldelcoleccionist3321]

Que hermosas son las mujeres de Estados Unidos la nta saludos desde México

[@cruzr454ss2]

What's a good time to get there to beat the crowds ?

[@janetayala6908]

where did you stay? Hotel suggestions please.

[@TouristtoLocal]

We stayed in this airbnb, but it was a little hot since there was no air, plus kind of difficult to reach the bed since you need to climb a ladder. www.airbnb.com/rooms/654261007121894211?source_impression_id=p3_1721857635_P3sjuI4qNkqIWmgw

[@porfiriato84]

Where you stay all depends on you. Kind of a vague question. KZbin isn't the best place to research where to stay.

[@lizlizette]

I thought the guy with sunglasses playing the instrument was your husband 😂🤣

[@ReneYanez-z9t]

What is going on with the water supply in Mexico City? I keep reading about a water shortage. Do tourists need to worry?

[@TouristtoLocal]

When we were here in April we didn't have any issues, but it really depends on the neighborhood. We were in Coyoacan and the centro.

[@ReneYanez-z9t]

@@TouristtoLocal Thank you.

[@jorgegonzalezobrgegon4193]

Yes and no, is expected to get back to normal shortly you'll be very welcomed

[@BlumeNydia-u6f]

Upton Expressway

[@dimeloray506]

What if you have to us the bathroom

[@TouristtoLocal]

There are bathrooms you can use! Just tell your guide and they can pull over to a place. Just keep in mind you will need to pay to use the bathroom.

[@HudsonDarnell-p6l]

Hortense Island

[@BestiaVlogz]

Yall passed the island of the dolls💀

[@TouristtoLocal]

It was too creepy for us to even talk about 🤣

[@Ghidkh]

Are you able to bring alcohol and drink on these?

[@TouristtoLocal]

Technically yes but some trajineras won't let you, so you need to ask first :)

[@davidvarela7959]

Quesadillas son con queso FIN

[@TouristtoLocal]

🧀

[@pablobautista7685]

Algunos lugares dejaron de ponerles queso por cuestiones de costos, pero siempre deberían de ser con queso.

[@ARvsAK]

Tenochtitlan did not feed the empire. The empire fed Tenochtitlan. HUGE difference.

[@matthewmunoz4015]

Marimba 🎉 is better.

[@TouristtoLocal]

Team marimba!!

[@PartyCrewCoolPAD]

Wait till you think I'm moving in that hellhole Going back to the hospital

[@pradyumn2692]

Xochimilco is like Ancient Tenochtitlan. A city on the lake.

[@pdxmx]

Do you know axolotl are going extinct here because of tourism.
