Excellent guide, terrible agency
What a bad agency. Some guides and drivers are saved, but in general, if you decide to hire them prepare to suffer because this agency is characterized by misleading advertising and punctuality. Some points from my experience with them: - Misleading Advertising - I booked the Viceroyal Cities tour with them, very complete and the cities visited are wow. Aron, the guide and driver, knows a lot about the history and traditions of all the places visited, and is also always available to give that extra mile that the tourist needs. However, the experience was disastrous thanks to the terrible logistics of the Mexitours agency. Hotels that are supposed to be 4 stars do not arrive at an inn. One of the hotels where I was housed smelled of pipe and not even the closed flush properly.When I complained about it, the answer was to send a basket of fruit two cities later. They never arrived on time. They're always 20 to 30 minutes late. When I booked to the airport they were an hour late. When I contacted them, they said it was the driver's fault, but it was that I was scheduled to pick up two hours later than agreed. Be careful to fall in with Eduardo, a guide who looks like the dog charmer. He seems attentive and friendly but mistreats his tourists, does not even answer their questions. The tour he gives sums up in taking passengers to craft fairs, probably under commission, and counting his tourists as an SS guard in a concentration camp Silvia, the person in charge of the itineraries seems friendly and diligent but never believe what he says or they could miss the flight or itinerary It's a very big agency but equally disastrous. Mexico is a magical country. Do not lose your magic for booking with this dubious agency.
Response from the operator: Estimado Darp, Nos apena mucho que no haya disfrutado su experiencia con nosotros, pues es nuestro principal objetivo. Le comento que tan pronto nos mencionó su molestia (dos días antes de terminar la ruta), de inmediato se hicieron las gestiones necesarias para conseguir que su estancia fuese más agradable, es por ello, que el hotel de México decidió ofrecerle una amenidad. Sin duda, nos sorprendió sus comentarios de los hoteles, ya que todos son catalogados como 4 estrellas por la Secretaria de Turismo de México, incluso algunos son de reciente remodelación y por ello en el momento le pedimos mayor información para revisarlo con los mismos, a lo cual recibimos una respuesta general y más que nada refiriéndose al hotel de Guanajuato. Enviaremos correo privado en su atención. Nos encantaría que en su próxima visita a México nos dé la oportunidad de brindarle nuevamente nuestros servicios y cambiar la opinión que se llevó en este viaje. Saludos cordiales..

Mexico City? Tremendously fun, beautiful, and huge.
We had a great tour, an incredibly wonderful tour guide, wonderful hotels and meals, and an absolutely "tight" tour with everyone on the bus when it was time to leave. Ciudad de Mexico was, as I said above, wonderful!!!! We saw many beautiful cathedrals, the center of the city, and we felt totally safe......safe enough to walk around the center at 11pm one night. Would I go again??? YES.....in a heartbeat, as the saying goes. And....my wife and I will return to Mexico City, most likely with this calendar year.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your comments, it will be such a pleasure to attend you in a near future on your next vacations to Mexico! Best regards

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
09 Days: Great Viceregal Cities: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does 09 Days: Great Viceregal Cities cost?
+
Prices start at $705 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mexico City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 09 Days: Great Viceregal Cities take?
+
Plan for about 216 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mexico City is not rushed.
Is 09 Days: Great Viceregal Cities worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 09 Days: Great Viceregal Cities?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 144 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 09 Days: Great Viceregal Cities suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 3. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 216-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book 09 Days: Great Viceregal Cities?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mexico City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mexico City and add a light layer if any part of the 216-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 09 Days: Great Viceregal Cities start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mexico City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mexico City?
+
On Outty we rank every Mexico City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Frida Kahlo VIP [Museum Tickets Included] Walk, Markets & Churros, Local Foodie Adventure CDMX: Tacos & more with Sherpa Food Tours, Balloon Flight+Gruta brekfast+Teotihuacan Tour from Mexico City. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mexico City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mexico City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
