Hello!

I am a female solo traveler going to Mexico City for the first time, and am taking a morning kayak tour of Xochimilco (more focused on the birds/wildlife/history). I believe the tour starts at 9:00 AM, and I am staying in Condesa.

My guide doesn't include transportation and so I was wondering what is the best way to get to and from Xochimilco? Some say to just uber (any idea how much that would cost in USD?), others say to just take public transit. I am also wondering if there are rapid ride, Xochimilco-specific type buses that I could book that is direct? Since my tour is early morning, hoping for an efficient way to get there.

Also, what should I expect when arriving if I do take public transit? Do I have to walk far? For reference, the meeting spot for my kayak tour is:
Cjon. 1080, San Juan Moyotepec, Xochimilco, 16517 Ciudad de México, CDMX, Mexico.

Thank you for your help!

Hello, I am traveling to Mexico City for 8 days and unfortunately, with my specific phone plan with ATT, I don't have Mexico roaming.

I've typically gotten esims at airports when traveling in the past, but I've been seeing some mixed reviews. Someone even said to get it beforehand via WIM which works with ATT? https://somoswim.com/esim/

I will be traveling outside of the city for Teotihuacan and Xochimilco, but otherwise will be staying in the city. I have a guide and provided transport for Teotihucan but not for Xochimilco, so I want to make sure I have some service for that area to look at bus schedules, etc.

Lastly, how much data will I need? I likely will just be using my phone to navigate and transport, not so much streaming or high social media use.

Thank you so much!
