Description
When you arrive at the Embarcadero Las Flores Nativitas, wait under the purple arch (with the slogan 'The taste of being Mexican'), the entrance to the car park. Your guide will meet you there and take you to the 'trajinera,' a traditional regional boat, previously decorated for you.
When you get on the boat, you'll be greeted with a small souvenir to take home, a drink of your choice (take advantage of the unlimited drinks!), and some typical sweets made by local artisans.
You'll get to taste the most popular national drink while listening to its brewing process, tequila.
You'll hear the history of the canals and their importance today while admiring the greenhouses with local flowers, depending on the season.
You'll join in our fun activities to immerse yourself in our culture, and by the end, you'll be a pro at our lingo.
You'll take a short break to enjoy the included food, and you can use the toilet.
You'll drink the sacred drink of the Mexica gods and learn about its mystical history.
You'll be a bartender and prepare your own Michelada, the favorite cocktail of Mexicans.
Get your voice ready for the challenge game, you can challenge, or be challenged!
Wrap up the tour with a mezcal tasting, a must-do when hanging out with Mexican friends.
