See Mexico City from an open-top Turibus with four routes, audio commentary, and hop-on access to Centro, Coyoacán, Basilica, and Polanco.
“I like to do the hop on hop off bus tours when visiting a new city, it's great to get your bearings and decide where to go back to, to visit properly. This trip had 4 routes. I managed 2, the traffic was quite bad so there was no time to do it all in one day! The narration is in Spanish but you can use earphones for other languages.”

“The ticket was quite cheap, so I set out again that evening. The tour takes place on a bus that's open at the top but has windows on the sides. So you have to be careful where you sit to get decent photos. Otherwise, in my opinion, Mexico City doesn't have that many great buildings that you can see lit up at night. So the tour was nice, but also kind of unnecessary.”
Review of Mexico City’s Turibus hop-on hop-off tour, with four routes, major museums, Coyoacán, WTC views, costs, and practical tips.
“I am not happy at all about the activity. First of all in my voucher it states that the tour is available from 12 midday to 7pm when in fact it was available from 9am hence I wasted half day already as I started it after midday. Moreover in the afternoon, after the WTC visit one bus came at 5pm and another one at 6pm, both didnt stop where we had got off. For this reason we were not able to board any bus from 5pm, our tour finished then. We barely did half of tour. Not recommended”
See Mexico City illuminated on a 75-minute night bus tour covering the Zócalo, Reforma, Bellas Artes, Garibaldi, and more.
“Definitely recommend you do this first so you can take a look at areas you maybe want to explore Fun”
See Mexico City from an open-top Turibus with unlimited rides on four routes, including Coyoacán, Polanco, the Basilica, and the Historic Center.
“Unfortunately, the stations are poorly signposted. This has nothing to do with the sights themselves, which were great!”
