9 Mexico City Bus Tours Worth Booking

1.Hop-on Hop-off Bus Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,043 reviews · 1 - 2 days · from $21Our pick

Ride Mexico City’s Turibus across Historic Downtown, Polanco, South, and Basilica routes. Hop off for museums, markets, Coyoacán, Guadalupe, and major plazas, then rejoin with one bracelet. Audio is offered in nine languages, though Spanish announcements can overpower the headset commentary.

“All those comments about the Spanish version of the tour being blasted on the bus are true but manageable imo. The bus were recent and clean, and the drivers were good. I did the Centro route which was the perfect way to discover the main spots and take notes to where I wanna go back and spend more time. I will do the Polanco and the South circuits before I go, that’s for sure.”

“The tour was amazing. Taking the tour at night around the city was beautiful and exciting. The price was right for the 1 hour and 15 minutes. I really enjoyed sightseeing the historical landmarks that Mexico had and took lots of pictures. The only thing I wish for the tour would be if the meeting spot was at an actual building than a spot on a street. I was a little confused because two different tour sites were having their meeting spot at the same location.”
