Worst Hop On Hop Off Experience Ever - My husband and I have been on many Hop On Hop Off buses all over the world and this would have to be our worst experience. We started the morning with the Red Route which was fine. Lots of things to see and informative audio. Our trouble started when we switched to the Green Route. When we got on we were told it was a 2 1/2 hour round trip. It took us 4 hrs and 15 mins to go around the route. At times the bus would stop for 15 -20 mins for no reason. The only thing of any interest on the Green route would be the Frida Kohlo museum which you could go to yourself. The English audio kept switching to Spanish so we had no idea where we were at times. With one stop to go we were sitting there again for no reason. After 5 mins and no sign of us moving anywhere anytime soon we gave up and got off and walked the 30 mins back to our hotel. The map we were given was very ambiguous and didn’t really indicate how close some of the stops on the other routes were or we could have got off and changed routes. We also asked for an English map at the beginning of the trip and we were given a Spanish one which was no help. Do not travel with this company.

Potato bus tour - Welcome aboard the potato bus tour, if you love traffic and listening to hardcore Mexican music, then this is the tour for you! The tour offers very little historical / cultural information and you must visit just about every shopping mall there is in Mexico City! I would rename it the Potato Bus Tour, as it’s the laziest attempt at a tour bus I’ve ever experienced. It’s worse than the tour bus on the UK Apprentice a few years ago, and even then they tried to give you some information about the sites! I’d give this one a miss if I were you #PotatoTour
