Pako Tours offers a "Trajineras Fiesta" to travelers from all over the world each year! Float along the historic canals enjoying Mexican cerveza, tequila tastings, live mariachi music, delicious fresh food, singalongs and dancing with fellow fiesta goers and new friends...what more could you ask for?

Whether you are a group of friends or family celebrating a birthday, honeymoon, anniversary or upcoming wedding, we take pleasure in customizing your experience to be joyous, festive and memorable.

Pako, your lead host, a Mexico City Chilango, has traveled the world, is a soccer fanatic, best known for his dreadlocks and big smile, and a passion to share the magic of Xochimilco, just like his Abuela (grandma) when she offered trajineras tours decades ago.
Along with our team of local boat rowers and guides, and our amazing virtual travel concierge Brandee from USA, we aim to offer an experience of a lifetime in one of Mexico City's most unique places! Email us for group discounts.
