This activity was so special, if you’re feeling overwhelmed by the number of tours you could book of Xochimilco’s beautiful axolotls look no further. Alan was so knowledgeable and cares so deeply for his community, everyone on the boat was kind and organized and kept our day fun and informative. Could not recommend this more.
