If you go, and aren't interested in a big party boat, there are a few organizations that offer canoe rides to their farm, including educational tours and lunch. Plus you get to paddle the canoes. We found one on air b and b experiences but I'm sure they advertise in other places as well.

Getting to the canals is a bit difficult if you don't use uber/did or a taxi. We did take an uber down, because the adventure started early, to beat the mid-day heat, but we did manage to take a bus/train on the way back, and only got lost twice.

If you go off the beaten path in Xochimilco you need to be super careful. I wouldn’t recommend it unless you know what you’re doing.

In the middle of the week it's a completely different experience compared to weekends.
