He falls backwards and ends up submerged in the water, as a woman in a chair rushed to her feet after realising what was about to happen.
Another man on board also caught wind of the moment and turned straight to help the tour guide.
The man appears to be panicked and flails his arms repeatedly in the water.
Both people who went to help the man can be seen attempting to pull him out of the water.
They were travelling on the canals of Xochimilco, near Mexico City, Mexico at the time.
It appeared that there was a party taking place on the boat, which is a common thing in the area known for its festive atmosphere.
The celebration which took place on the boat was thought to be a celebration for a birthday, as reported by Need To Know.
At one point, one of the attendees offered the driver a drink of Mezcal which had been aged for two years.
It has been reported that he sat on a chair so he could row the boat after starting to feel the effects from the beverage.
Whilst the canals of Xochimilco have been the setting for many celebrations, some tragedies have occurred due to people drowning in the waters.
Underneath the water, there are many aquatic plants such as water lilies which can make it difficult for people who fall in to swim.
Another risk factor for people who fall into this type of water is the irregular depths and muddy terrain of the area.
After the video of the tour guide went viral, many social media users took to the comments to share their thoughts on the moment.
Ruby said: “It seems that he was feeling bad before he fell.”
Another added: “I only thought about El Chavo who disappeared in a matter of seconds, who fell in Xochimilco.”
“An essential requirement for this job is knowing how to swim,” commented a third user.
A third: “How irresponsible.”
“Oh poor thing, that’s dangerous,” a fourth added.
