Use one bracelet to ride four Mexico City routes for one or two days. Hear about Aztec, colonial, and modern Mexico through multilingual audio as you hop off at Zócalo, Coyoacán, Polanco, the Basilica, and major museums. Bring your own earbuds for clearer sound.
“We picked up at the National Auditorium. It was a great day although the ear buds they gave us were awful. We used our own instead.”
Use a one-day Turibus pass to explore Mexico City across four routes: Centro, Coyoacán, Basílica, and Polanco. Ride upstairs for city views, hop off near sights such as Templo Mayor and the Frida Kahlo Museum, and follow recorded commentary in several languages. Bring sun protection and allow a full day.
“The hearing was very poor using the EarPods, they only works half the time.”
Ride a panoramic double-decker bus through Mexico City after dark, passing the Angel of Independence, Diana Cazadora, Palace of Fine Arts, Zócalo, Roma, Condesa, Juarez Avenue, and Zona Rosa. A Spanish-speaking host handles boarding, while headphones provide the listed English audio guide.
“we booked an English quided tour but all was in Spanish. wifi and mobile like was not working as well. very disappointed 😞”
Ride Mexico City’s Turibus across the Historic Center, Polanco, South, or Basilica routes. Use one ticket for all available stops, listen to multilingual audio, hop off for museums and neighborhoods, and return by the next bus. Check current operations, as service may be limited.
Ride the red Turibus from the Historic Center along Paseo de la Reforma after dark. You’ll pass the Angel of Independence, Diana Cazadora, Reforma 222, Monumento a la Revolución, and more, while a recorded guide plays in seven languages. Bring a jacket and arrive 15 minutes early.
“Good value for the money, you get the bus tour, the guide is just a recorded one that is played throughout the tour, but nice sights, comfortable ride, good value”
You get 24 hours on Capital Bus across three routes: Downtown to Polanco, Downtown to Temples, and Downtown to South. Use it for Reforma, Coyoacán, Guadalupe, San Ángel, and UNAM, with an onboard audio guide and flexible hop-on, hop-off access.
Start at Mexico City’s Zócalo and ride a Capital Bus double-decker past the cathedral, Garibaldi, Tlatelolco, Reforma, the Angel of Independence, and the Palace of Fine Arts. An English or Spanish audioguide provides background during this 75-minute evening loop.
“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.”
Ride Mexico City’s open-top Turibus across four routes covering the Historic Center, Polanco, Basilica, and Coyoacán. Hop off for museums and neighborhoods, then choose a CETRO 360 WTC viewpoint visit or Pizza Roma lunch. Audio commentary is available in six languages, including English.
“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”
Use one Turibus pass for two consecutive days across four Mexico City routes. Ride through the Historic Center, Coyoacán, Basilica, and Polanco, hopping off for museums, markets, monuments, food, and neighborhoods. An audio guide is offered in several languages, but long waits make planning essential.
“Unfortunately, the stations are poorly signposted. This has nothing to do with the sights themselves, which were great!”
A loop, an open deck, a night run or a whole day on the coach.
