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

[AshleyNewellDotMe]

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

[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

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

[MsOnitemi]

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

[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! 💐🌸🌵🇲🇽🥰💞👍🏻

[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 🤗

[christopherarkills]

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

[Krystal_Kitty]

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

[erniegutierrez]

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"

[tessbeasley]

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

[sheilabjeletich]

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

[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!

[susancastro]

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

[EatBailaTravel]

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

[rkooscar]

Love this channel. Will be visiting in 2025

[Coolyeaman]

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

[jleongc]

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

[jessmndza_]

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