Perfect 3-Day Mexico City Itinerary

Home » Blog » Travel Itinerary » Perfect 3-Day Mexico City Itinerary

If you’re planning a trip to Mexico City, we’ve got a perfect 3-day trip planned for you. This Mexico City itinerary is packed with information on where to eat, what major sights to see and off the beaten path ideas!

mexico city video tour

Have you ever underestimated a place only to find that it is so much better than you were expecting?

To be honest, Mexico was a country that we overlooked for a long time. We always thought of it as all-inclusive resorts in Cancun or Cozumel, surrounded by other Americans…(how incredibly naive of us!) And truthfully, we hadn’t heard much about Mexico City other than it was dangerous and polluted.

Those people could not have been more wrong. 

From the time we landed, Mexico City wowed us! There is so much green space, the metro system is cheap and effective, and the people are so friendly. Oh, and the food. THE. FOOD.

With so many things to do in Mexico City, we could have easily filled a whole week. However we only had 3 full days to explore, and we felt it was a great introduction to CDMX (short for Ciudad de México).

We’ve put together what we think is a perfect 3-day itinerary for Mexico City. We’re sharing where to stay, what to eat, top sights to see, some local tips, and even additional things to do if you have more time.

From the top attractions to some off the beaten path adventures, we’ve got your short trip to Mexico City all planned for you! And if you have a longer trip planned for Mexico, we have plenty of ideas of things to do in Mexico for you too.

Mexico City Itinerary | Two Wandering Soles

How long should I spend in Mexico City?

You could easily spend a week in Mexico City and not get bored. But if you, like us, are on a tight schedule, 3-4 days is enough to get a feel for Mexico City and see some of its best parts. It’s just a taste though. To really delve in, we think you’d need at least 5 days.

Got more than 3 days? Consider these other things to do in Mexico City .

Day 1: Morning

San angel neighborhood.

mexico city video tour

Situated just southwest of Coyoacan, this picturesque neighborhood was probably our favorite area in Mexico City. If you’re in Coyoacan, it’s worth making the short trip here to check out the vibes. 

Here are some highlights:

  • Plaza San Jacinto: A park filled with lots of green space and a beautiful fountain, lined with cafes and restaurants.  
  • Saturday Bazaar: If you happen to be visiting on a Saturday, you’ll find streets and parks lined with artists and local vendors. Make your way to a building known as the bazaar (northwest of the Plaza San Jacinto), where you’ll find higher-end goods (with price tags to match) than what the vendors outside are selling.
  • House – Studio Museum of Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera: This is the home that Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera shared toward the end of their lives. Their notoriously tumultuous relationship meant they needed time apart, so there are actually two homes on the property – one for Frida and one for Diego – with a bridge adjoining them for times they felt like visiting.

Frida Kahlo Museum

Frida Kahlo Museum Mexico City

While considerably more expensive than the other Mexico City museums, the steep entrance fee at the Frida Kahlo Museum hardly deters visitors. La Casa Azul (the blue house in Spanish) is well worth a visit, even if you’re not all that familiar with Mexico City’s beloved artist.

This museum is set in the house where Frida was born and died. She grew up in this home and later shared it with her famous husband, painter Diego Rivera. You’ll see both various pieces of her artwork as well as her personal belongings.

Walk through her art studio, glimpse her beautiful kitchen, and see the bed where she slept and the garden in which she spent her afternoons dreaming or entertaining guests. Remember, the museum is closed on Mondays so plan accordingly.

Entrance fee & Hours: $230 MXN (around $11 USD) on weekdays and $270 MXN (around $13 USD) on weekends. Open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. and closed on Mondays. 

Explore the Coyoacan Neighborhood

mexico city video tour

Imagine streets with colorful colonial style homes shaded by large trees. Cute cafes and boutiques are dotted amongst the homes of the well-to-do. You could easily spend a day getting lost in the tranquil streets of Coyoacan, but if you’re short on time, visit this neighborhood with a guide and hear stories of its past.

Try the Coyoacan Free Walking Tour with Estacion Mexico. Our guide was wonderful and super informative. They meet every day at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. at the ticket office of Viveros/ Derechos Humanos subway station (inside the station). Bring water and check the weather to see if you need an umbrella or not.

This 2.5-hour tour brought us through some beautiful streets and gave us insight on one of Mexico City’s most inviting neighborhoods. Our guide was wonderful and the group of just 6 people was a great size to meander through colonial courtyards and through historic streets.

If you’d prefer to wander through Coyoacan on your own, here are some spots you should hit:

Coyoacan Highlights

mexico city video tour

  • Fonoteca Nacional (National Sound Archive): A free to enter museum with a vast archive of audio recordings of famous people speaking, including Diego Rivera. 
  • Mercado de Artesanal Mexicano (Artisan Market): A multi-level market filled with handicrafts and souvenirs for sale.
  • Parroquia San Juan Bautista : Take a peek inside the church if you like, but the main attraction is hanging out in the square. 
  • Coyoacan Market : More of a local market selling everything from fruits and vegetables alongside clothing and children’s toys. But if you venture inside and all the way to the back to find the signature Coyacan tostadas.
  • Tip: Order the huitlacoche for a “different” experience. This quesadilla will be made right in front of you and is stuffed with huitlacoche, or corn fungus, which is a delicacy in Mexico.
  • Cup of coffee: Head to Cafetzalli Coyoacán or Café El Jarocho for some of the best coffee in the neighborhood. 
  • Churros Jordan : A popular spot with churros that are stuffed with the sauces (instead of dipping).

Dinner: Enjoy a meal at one of Mexico City’s best restaurants . Whether you’re craving authentic street food or a fancy meal, there’s plenty to choose from!

Experience Mexico City’s nightlife scene! Wander the streets of the Roma and Condesa neighborhoods and pop into any bar or restaurant that strikes your fancy. And if you wanna turn things up a notch and go clubbing, here’s a guide to getting your groove on into the wee hours of the morning.

Day 2: Morning

Chapultepec park.

Bike around Mexico City

Before you head out for the day, be sure to stop by Panadería Rosetta for either a quick grab-and-go pastry or sit and relax with a café. This local hotspot gets pretty busy throughout the day so get there early. They open at 7 a.m. Once you have your fill, head out to Chapultepec Park.

This gigantic park on the west side of town isn’t perhaps the city’s most picturesque, but it is one of the largest. With pathways for walking (or biking!) you can get a little exercise. You’ll find plenty of stands selling snacks along the way and a small pond with paddle boats for rent, which is a great activity if you’re traveling with kids in Mexico City .

If you’re like us and your hotel has free bikes for rent, you can pedal away at your heart’s desire. Another great option for bike rentals is Ecobici Bikes , the government-subsidized bike share program, where you can get a single day membership for just 99 pesos (less than $5 USD). 

You can go and see the Official Residence of Los Pinos, or the Mexican President’s House. The main attraction of this park, however, is the castle that sits atop the park’s highest hill.

Chapultepec Castle

Chapultepec Castle Mexico City

Perched high on a hill, visiting the Chapultepec Castle ( Castillo de Chapultepec ) is worthwhile if even just for the view of the city. Inside, you’ll find rooms preserved as they were in the 18th century. It is quite impressive, especially the stairways and the rooftop garden.

Tickets can be purchased at the ticket window at the bottom of the hill to the castle. Be sure to allow at least 45 minutes to climb the hill, see the castle and walk back down. Add more time if you get the audio guide or want to snap some photos.

Entrance Fee & Hours: The typical entrance fee is 80 MXN. Open Tuesday – Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed Sunday & Monday.

National Museum of Anthropology

mexico city video tour

This is often touted as a “must see” while in Mexico City, this museum is a history buff’s dream. You’ll find prehispanic artifacts, dioramas and interactive displays that give you insights to how Mexico and its ancient people settled in the region. We thought the museum was interesting, but honestly felt it was a bit overwhelming.

Note: Be aware that while some of the signage has been translated into English, there is still a lot that is only in Spanish.

If you are touring the museum on your own, we recommend going into the #1 room and traveling counterclockwise. If you are pressed for time, make sure to see the #6 (Aztec) and #9 (Maya) rooms.

We joined a free English tour at 1:30 p.m. for an hour and the guide brought us through the Aztec Room where we saw the Stone of the Sun (more famously and falsely known as the Aztec Calendar). Most of the information we came away from the museum with was from this tour.

Entrance Fee & Hours: The typical 80 peso entrance fee is very reasonable. Open Tuesday – Saturday 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., closed Sunday & Monday.

Food Tour or DIY

mexico city video tour

Mexico City is a foodie haven. There are plenty of cooking classes and food tours to choose from that’ll give you great insight into Mexican cuisine. We had a great time with Mexican Food Tours and wrote about our experience on a traditional Mexican food tour in Mexico City . 

If you’re on a budget though, you might be turned off by the steep prices. Instead, you can opt to do your own DIY food tour. Check out our Ultimate Guide to Food in Mexico for some inspiration before you go!

Day 3: Morning

Downtown diy tour.

The Fine Arts Palace (Palacio Bellas Artes) Mexico City

We’ve taken just short of 30 free walking tours around the world, and have had fantastic experiences for the most part (including our tour of the Coyoacan neighborhood). Unfortunately, we can’t say the same about the Free Walking Tour in downtown Mexico City.

Our guide did a fine job, but the group of nearly 40 people was so big it was hard to maneuver through the streets. And paired with traffic and city noise, it was hard to hear much of what the guide was saying.

We didn’t get much information from this tour that we couldn’t find in guidebooks. Plus, the route would be super easy to navigate on your own, so we would advise doing a DIY tour of the downtown (Centro) part of Mexico City.

Highlights of Downtown (Centro) Mexico City

The Zocalo Mexico City

  • The Zocalo ( Plaza de la Constitución ): A large square that served as the political and religious center of Tenochtitlan (centuries ago, and before the arrival of the Spanish). Today the square is characterized by a larger-than-life-sized Mexican flag, surrounded by prominent and important buildings, and still serves as a cultural hub of the city hosting large events like Mexico’s Independence Day celebration on Sept 15th. 
  • Note: You must bring a photo ID (one per group) in order to enter. 
  • Note: Entrance to the cathedral is free and worth a peek inside to marvel at the architecture. Just be respectful of your surroundings and others in their place of worship. 
  • Insider Tip: To get the best view, head to the Sears department store across the street from the Palace, and make your way up to the rooftop coffee shop on the 8th floor. 
  • Post Office ( Palacio Postal ): This building is beautiful with turn-of-the-century architecture and every surface covered in gold. You can go in the entrance, look around a bit and take a photo.
  • Insider Tip: Lighting here is best before noon or in the late afternoon.
  • El Moro : One of the most famous places to try churros in Mexico City. Their original location in the historic district is a convenient stop while wandering around the center.

Explore the Markets

mexico city video tour

Latin America has incredible markets that are well worth checking out. 

Mercado de San Juan is situated near the historic center, so a stop here won’t be too far out of your way. This market is known for its selection of exotic meats, like crocodile and wild boar. Just wandering through and people watching is an experience. 

Alternative Market: If you’d like more of a local experience, take the metro to the Merced Metro station to explore the Sonora Market. Sometimes called a “witch market”, but we didn’t find the nickname very fitting. Sure, you can find crystals, incense and herbs, but more of what you’ll see is cheap plastic toys, shoes and food.

The appeal of this market isn’t what is being sold, but instead the “local vibe” you’ll get here as opposed to some of the busier markets. It’s certainly not a tourist attraction, and is only really worthwhile to add to your itinerary if you enjoy people watching and local experiences.

Note: This market begins from the metro station and it can be quite a maze to get through!

Jardin Chapultepec: Beer Garden

mexico city video tour

If you love craft beer as much as we do, you won’t be able to resist this sunny beer garden that serves up some great brews at a reasonable price. The atmosphere here is fun, with young professionals gathering with friends after work.

The food also looked great here. We were drooling over the tacos the person next to us was eating (complete with a big slice of queso fresco and avocado), but when we went up to order some, they had run out!

La Pitahaya Vegana

mexico city video tour

Whether you’re a practicing vegan or you just like a good veggie meal every once in a while, La Pitahaya Vegana, is a great stop for a taco sampling.

Compared to the tacos you’ll find on the street, these are relatively expensive at 120 pesos for three. But with creative combinations like cauliflower with coconut cream and pineapple or potato and coral tree flower curry made with love in a sustainably-run kitchen, we thought the equivalent of $4 USD was worthwhile. Plus, the woman running this place is super sweet.

Good to know: If you want a beer with your vegan taco, you’ll need to arrive before 5pm since they stop serving alcohol at that time.

Mezcal Tasting at La Nacional

mexico city video tour

Literally right across the street from La Pitahaya Vegana is La Nacional, a well-known mezcal tasting bar. What’s the difference between a mezcal bar and a regular bar, you might ask? We had the same question, and well, the photo above will give you a little hint!

With tons of different strains of mezcal to choose from, the people here really know their stuff. They’ll serve you oranges sprinkled with worm-chili salt. To nibble on between sips, and slices of carrots and jicama to cleanse your palate. Hint: Sip first, then eat the orange.

Though not cheap (each 1.5-ounce serving costs between 80 and 200 pesos), it is kind of a fun way to try the difference in mezcal. If you’re with a partner, try two different types and compare!

Watch a Lucha Libre Wrestling Match

mexico city video tour

We loved our experience watching the Lucha Libre match. It was fun, crazy and full of bad acting and acrobatics.And one of the best parts is it is super cheap (that is, if you go without a tour group!). At just around $10 per person, we thought it was a really fun way to spend the night without blowing all our pesos. We created a whole article on how to book and watch a Lucha Libre match on your own .

Beautiful… I love those beautiful pictures.

Great guide! I really loved Mexico City. My favorite place was the ruins of Teotihuacán. I went on a hot air balloon ride over the ruins. It was magical.

I would love to visit Frida Kahlo Musem at La Casa Azul next time when I visit Mexico City.

Hi! Really helpful blog! Am planning a 5 days couple trip to Mexico city and your suggestions are great! Can I know where is the mountainous place that you can swim at the 1 minute mark of your epic video?

Great information!! I am traveling to DF with my family of six. Any places you could recommend to stay? Perhaps a website to find best suitable place for size, safety and proximity to places of interest? Only there for three nights. Would love accompanying food recommendations near place.

Thank you for these excellent tips! Added Coyoacan/San Angel day, and will rent to headphones at the Frida museum. (and many more tips i got from you) I’m looking forward to my trip-staying 7 days!.

I loved Mexico City! You’re on point with El Moro! I loved their churros! We did a hot air balloon ride over the pyramids which I loved too! I need to checkout the Food Tour you recommneded!

I’m obsessed with Mexico City. I’ve been twice now and love it so much. You have to go to the Teotihuacán ruins. I took the local bus and it was a bit tricky but manageable.

I used to travel to Mexico city as a child to visit family. I never really explored much or did much around but wow this post makes me want to go back! So much culture and good looking food (I mean is that really pink tacos!?!?!?!). Thanks for sharing!

This is wonderful stuff. We are planning a trip to Mexico City in 10 days. We have 8 days at disposal. What do you recommend doing? Any short 1 day local trips or beach trips? We don’t drive so looking for local tours.

Thank you for sharing these impressions and tips. I’m going to travel in Mexico City and round Cancun with my three teenagers and your site seems to be wonderful preparation! Sandra 🙂

Thank you for your kind comment! You’re going to love Mexico, Sandra. Feel free to reach out if you have any more questions about traveling in Mexico or Mexico City!

Live thuan. I am traveling to DF with my family of six. Any places you could recommend to stay? Perhaps a website to find best suitable place for size, safety and proximity to places of interest? Only there for three nights. Would love accompanying food recommendations near place.

its a stunning travel destination .. amazing journey and i never stop to exploring more of Mexico!

We loved our time traveling in Mexico City, Rick. And it sounds like you had a great time as well 🙂

I have such a soft spot for mexico city! Keep up the great blogging

We do too, Ashley! It really surprised us and we can’t wait to go back some day!

Thanks for the tips Katie and Ben! I took the Coyoacan Walking Tour yesterday and ate some tostados on your recommendation. Lovely day. Mucho Gracias!

De nada Gwendolyn! Glad to hear you liked it! Those tostados in CDMX are amazing!

Wow nice article, the pictures are so beautiful ! I love the architecture and the building are so colorful. It’s funny because I’ve seen a lot of articles recently about Mexico, if it’s safe or not to visit, and the answer seems to be yes 🙂

Well, I hope this article convinces you that Mexico City is safe, and a worth-while place to travel. Every city has it’s good and bad spots, but there are so many beautiful and welcoming areas in Mexico City that we highly recommend going.

Great post! Thanks for the post.Pictures are stunning.Love reading your post. Thanks for sharing.Keep sharing.

Thanks so much Diego! Glad you like the article!

If you go to the Diego Rivera museum you can use your ticket to go to frida Kahlo and includes a shuttle!

There’s also a vegan meat taco stand in S Roma! But I second pitahaya being worth it.

Some foods I didn’t see on your list: as many fruit/juices as possible, tlayudas, gordita, grasshoppers (because when else!), avocados (they’re so much bigger), chilaquiles and Mollettes for breakfast, and tlacoyo. All can be found at street stalls and there’s a great huge street market behind bellas artes. Here’s a link w everything you need for food as this really is only a few. What I love about mxdc is you could be there a month and never eat the same thing :

And then go to Puebla!

Great tips, thanks Sara 🙂 Yes, too much food to name!

Mexico City is a sprawling, vibrant city with world-class museums, monumental churches, grand plazas, historic buildings, beautiful parks, and one of the best food scenes in the world. It’s no surprise that travelers fall in love with all aspects of this dynamic city. Join us for a tour that takes you beyond the surface, hang out with locals, and get the real feel of the city.

Founded in the early 14th century by the Aztecs, Mexico City is one of the oldest capital cities in the Americas. Today, it is one of the most fascinating cultural destinations in the world, with eclectic art galleries, animated food markets, a bustling nightlife, and grandiose historic buildings on tree-lined streets.

A creative city, Mexico City has long been a center for the arts in all its forms. From modern artists like Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera, to the colorful murals that adorn the city’s streetscapes today, to writers, painters, and musicians, there’s an incredible art scene that compliments the incredible food scene. Using our local connections, we designed this itinerary to showcase the places travelers don’t always see when they visit.

We’ll hang out with our local friends, eat at hole in the wall taco stands, visit some incredible parks, the ancient city of Teotihuacán, cruise around the city’s floating gardens, explore the bustling markets, and indulge in all the delicious food the city has to offer. 

If you’re the kind of person who wants a deeper, more authentic and nuanced travel experience, then this tour is for you.

We’ll visit some of the most important landmarks, from the historical Templo Mayor to the iconic Palacio de Bellas Artes.

In the evening, we’ll meet back together as a group for a 3-hour local food tour with one of our favorite food experts who is a Chilanga foodie influencer on Instagram. You’ll stop at a mix of different hole-in-the-wall restaurants and food carts that are pretty famous for the local Mexican community, but aren’t on tourists radar yet.

Today, we’ll leave the city to visit the most important and largest city of pre-Aztec central Mexico, Teotihuacán. The archeological site of Teotihuacán, designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1987, was one of the largest cities in the world at its apogee (c. 500 CE). The great Mesoamerican city was at the heart of politics, the economy, trade, religion, and culture. Our knowledgeable and passionate local guide will walk us through the City of Gods ‘ historic monuments, vast building complexes, and extraordinary mural paintings. We’ll stop for a group lunch at a unique restaurant before heading back to the city.

Included meals: Breakfast

More than twice the size of New York’s Central Park, Chapultepec Park is the oldest and largest park in Latin America. It contains tons of monuments, museums, gardens, and lakes and is home to Chapultepec Castle, the only true castle in Latin America. After strolling through the park, we’ll be guided through Chapultepec Castle, known for its stunning architecture, manicured gardens, incredible views of the city, and home to the National Museum of History. We’ll also walk along the iconic 19th-century Paseo de la Reforma Avenue, built to connect Chapultepec Castle with downtown. The avenue is full of historical monuments, shops, and restaurants. In the evening, we’ll organize a group dinner for those who want to eat together.

No trip to Mexico City is complete without a visit to Xochimilco. Today, we’ll cruise around the ancient Chinampas (“Floating Gardens”), a creative type of Mesoamerican agriculture that built artificial islands in a freshwater lake in order to cultivate crops. We’ll float through the gardens on board a typical trajinera , a traditional Mexican wooden boat, colorfully painted and decorated, while enjoying snacks, drinks, and live music played by traditional Mexican bands.

We’ll then transfer to Coyoacan, one of the most picturesque neighborhoods in the city. We’ll do a walking tour and visit its colorful market. We will end the day with our final dinner as a group.

“I love The Nomadic Network tours because they are off the beaten path, tend to attract all ages of free spirited, fun, and adventurous people. I met a lot of solo travelers which was inspiring.”

– Dave, Oaxaca 2022

“Taking a Nomadic Network tour is like having a friend show you around one of their favorite cities. You don’t feel like a tourist as you dig into the local culture.”

– Scott & Dana, Oaxaca 2022

“We had a fabulous time on our Oaxaca trip. The local tour leaders were friendly, organized and so knowledgeable! We got a great sense of Oaxacan food, drink, culture and art from the diverse activities and adventures we had.”

– Caedmon, Oaxaca 2022

“As a solo traveler I’d never been interested in taking a group trip but when I saw TNN was doing a tour in Oaxaca, I knew it would be different from the  typical  tour. Every activity was curated to really connect with locals, the culture, food, mezcal, and adventure. I felt like I was traveling with a bunch of friends and it was one of my most memorable trips!”

– Vanessa, Oaxaca 2022

“Our Nomadic Network tour to Oaxaca was a fun, once-in-a-lifetime experience!! The team did a fantastic job of curating great food & cultural experiences that were very unique to the Oaxaca region! In addition, our hotel was right across from a lovely park in the heart of Oaxaca city – making it very convenient for exploring the city.”

– Eric, Oaxaca 2022

“I fell in love with the friendly, quaint city of Oaxaca. Our small-sized group of 14 strolled and shopped in town, viewed majestic ruins, feasted on local art and murals, danced in the lively Zocalo, and frequented local establishments for scrumptious food and drink. Our Nomadic Network tour was a truly authentic and intimate experience!”

– Phyllis, Oaxaca 2022

Currently, there are no visa requirements to enter Mexico if you are a US or Canadian citizen, but you do need a passport that has at least 6 months validity. Upon arrival in Mexico, immigration will stamp your passport with a tourist visa that typically allows for a 180-day stay (some airports will provide a printed slip instead). There is nothing you need to do ahead of time for this. While it is unlikely you’ll be asked, some immigration officers will ask to see a return ticket or proof of onward travel upon entry.

Please note that we do not offer visa assistance. It is your responsibility to determine what entry requirements might be necessary based on your nationality.

Fly into and out of Mexico City International Airport (MEX).

  • On the first day, our orientation meeting generally takes place in the evening, around 6pm. It’s best to arrive by the afternoon so you have enough time to get settled in before we meet up. 
  • On the last day, you can depart at any time. We’ll have breakfast available for you and the rest of the day is yours to explore. You are always welcome to extend your stay if you so choose, just let us know what your plans before and after the tour will be.

No. Before the start of the tour, we’ll send you specific information on how to get to the hotel via public transportation, taxi, or Uber. However, if you’d like a private transfer, we can book them for you for an added fee.

Throughout the year, Mexico City tends to have milder temperatures, trending warmer during the day and fairly cool at night. During the spring, it’s quite dry and temperatures range from the mid-60s to the mid-70s Fahrenheit (around 18-24 Celsius). During the fall, the weather is very similar and only slightly cooler.

We will send you a packing list ahead of time to help you prepare. There are no strict expectations for dress code, however, shorts and sandals are also not commonly seen in Mexico City specifically.

As a woman, there is nothing super out of the ordinary to be concerned about. When it comes to safety, don’t wear flashy jewelry, try to stay in pairs or groups (especially at night), and use common sense.

Mexico uses standard North American plug outlets (Plug Types “A” and “B”), so if you’re coming from the US or Canada, you won’t need an adapter.

As for electricity, most mobile phones, laptops, and other devices can handle all types of voltage when charging. The standard voltage in Mexico is 127v/60Hz. Check your chargers to see if they say 110 – 220V. If that range is listed on the charger, you will not have any problems charging your device while on the tour. You won’t need a converter, only the plug adapter (if you’re joining from a country other than the US or Canada).

The cell service in Mexico City is typically very strong, but there are some areas that can be spotty (and the free city WiFi barely works). Our hotel has strong WiFi as well as most cafes, bars, restaurants across the city. 

Note that in some pockets of Mexico City, your phone will show you have full service, but you won’t actually be able to use your phone for anything more than texts and calls. This hasn’t caused issues for guests or tours in the past, just something to note.

Most US cell service providers now include Canada and Mexico in their plans, but if yours does not, you can consider activating the international plan from your network at home, purchasing a local SIM card upon arrival or purchasing an e-sim online.

For the duration of our tour, we will be staying in a modern and comfortable hotel in the beautiful neighborhood of Roma Norte. This hotel features ensuite bathrooms, air conditioning, on-site restaurant, 24-hour reception, and you’ll be sleeping in at least a full-sized, comfortable bed.

Twin share rooms:

  • If you are traveling solo, you’ll be paired with someone of the same gender in a room with two full beds.
  • If you book two spots, you’ll get the entire room for you and your travel partner. 

Private rooms:

If you’d like to get your own private room, you can add that option at checkout for $250 USD. There are a maximum of 16 single rooms available. Private rooms run on a first come, first served basis.

We can book additional nights for you at the hotel prior to or after the tour as long as you let us know 30 days in advance (the earlier the better). As soon as you provide us with the dates, we will confirm availability with the hotel and provide you with payment instructions.

This tour requires moderate physical activity. Please note that the trip can involve somewhat long days, walking tours in crowded cities, hot temperatures, and early morning wake-ups.

Daily breakfast and 3 dinners are included. You can refer to the itinerary to see which ones. All dietary restrictions can be accommodated with prior notice. Alcohol is not included and can be purchased separately.

No. The hotel will provide you with a water bottle each day and you can easily purchase additional bottles at any convenience store. At restaurants, you may ask for agua de casa (filtered water) by the glass to use to refill your water bottle.

You should budget an average of $20-30 USD per day for all your extra needs. Most of your expenses are covered in your trip price, but you will need cash for non-included meals and any additional purchases (laundry service, snacks, etc.) as well as activities you do on your own. Certainly bring more money if you plan to shop!

Yes, you will be able to withdraw cash. We recommend using ATMs which are available in cities and will dispense local currency. However, please check with your home bank as many banks charge foreign transaction fees every time you withdraw money from an ATM overseas. Learn how to avoid paying extra fees here .

If using an ATM machine is not an option, the second-best method is to simply bring US dollars in cash that you can exchange at money exchange booths or banks located all over the country.

Tips for local guides and included meals are already taken care of. Generally, tipping in Mexico is not as common as in the West, but in some cases it is expected. Here’s a general guideline:

  • Restaurants and bars: 15%
  • Hotel staff: 20 pesos if someone helps you with luggage or anything else
  • Local guide: At the end of the trip, we recommend that everyone gives about $10 USD per day as a tip (about $50 for the week). We’ll collect this on the last day and give it to our guide and driver during our departure dinner.

Find our general FAQ here to get any of your other questions answered.

Book with confidence. Your deposit is 100% refundable for 30 days after your booking is made, as long as it’s 60 days prior to departure, so you don’t lose out in case your plans change.
