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!

[@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.

[@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!!!

[@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 🩷🩷🩷

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

[@LuisRivera-ji2qd]

Hola. Eres genial 👍🏼 saludos 🇲🇽

[@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!!

[@MsOnitemi]

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

[@TouristtoLocal]

Thank you ❤️❤️❤️

[@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!!

[@EatBailaTravel]

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

[@TouristtoLocal]

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

[@jleongc8332]

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

[@TouristtoLocal]

Muchas gracias ❤️❤️❤️

[@christopherarkills8912]

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

[@TouristtoLocal]

Thank you! 😃

[@rigobertomagmag21]

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

[@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🤭

[@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!

[@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.

[@janetayala6908]

where did you stay? Hotel suggestions please.

[@cruzr454ss2]

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

[@BestiaVlogz]

Yall passed the island of the dolls💀

[@user-ru1jz9cq2y]

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.

[@user-ru1jz9cq2y]

@@TouristtoLocal Thank you.

[@jorgegonzalezobrgegon4193]

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

[@storres1368]

🙏🙏🙏❤️

[@TouristtoLocal]

Thanks for watching!!

[@christiancostello9562]

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 :)

[@ARvsAK]

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

[@matthewmunoz4015]

Marimba 🎉 is better.

[@TouristtoLocal]

Team marimba!!

[@sowrov19]

I watched your KZbin video. Your every video is really awesome. But your channel and your videos expect more views and subs. I analyzing Your KZbin channel and I found properly KZbin video SEO is not done. This is why your video is not going viral and views are not increasing.
