Polanco Loop Tour

Wiliam_S, Apr 2022

The Polanco section of this tour was fabulous. Green lush shaded restaurants and beautiful town houses that anyone would envy. Freedom to hop on and off was greatly appreciated.

Dear Amig@ Your comments make us very happy, Thank you very much. We look forward to serving you again on your next trip to any of our destinations. Dulce, Amigo Tours

Don’t waste your time and money

Michele_L, Jan 2022

Despite the flawless purchase process thru Viator, we had to go downtown CDMX to pickup our bracelet tickets. The service claims can be started at any stop, so once we got the ticket, we checked in our hotel and wanted to start the tour at the hotel’s closest stop.. we waited 45 minutes, watched 5 of the competitor bus (Turibus) passing and when finally we hopped on our bus, it was the last tour of the day, so we got half of it… I could have complained at the last stop with their personal, but that would’ve been another waste of time. I booked a Turibus tour for tomorrow.

Response from Host, Jan 2022

Dear Amig@ We appreciate your comments and suggestions, we will pass them on to the team to be taken into account. Thank you very much for your trust. Dulce, Amigo Tours

Not worth it

S_G, Dec 2021

I read all reviews before booking and wanted to give this comoany the benefit of the doubt. Unfortunately, we were very dissapointed. First, you have to go a specific place to exchange your ticket for bracelet. On the booking, it specifies you can do this at 2 locations: one in historic center and another one in zona rosa. We picked the one in zona rosa since it was closer to our hotel. We uber there to find nothing at the address provided and when i call to ask, rhey tell me that they are not at that location anymore, only at historic center (there goes our uber money wasted). Then, we take another uber to historic center and when we arrive at around 10: 30 wr are told that one route leaves at 11: 30, the other at 2 pm and the other at 4 pm . Is not really a hop on hop off. They have 3 routes (each taking to complete without getting off the bus, from 1.5 hours to 3 hours!) And worst part is that the buses dont pass as often for being able to yes, hop off and hop on! We only got to do one route left at 11:30 am withiut getting off the bus and back at historic center at 2 pm so we could catch the next route leaving at 2pm, we never could because of traffic. We have taken hop on hop off buses in amsterdam, london, lisbon, prague, brussels and nyc and this has been our only horrible experience. They need to improve their system and get more buses to pass more often.

Response from Host, Dec 2021

Dear Amig@ We are very grateful for your comments and deeply regret this bad experience. We are investigating your case, we assure you that we are already working on it, unfortunately as a result of the pandemic we have had to take measures to make possible the tourist activities, we assure you that we take your very seriously your review.

Good but be aware

VictorLuiz_C, Jul 2021

The trip was good, a little mess, but... We are in Mexico. But I'm not happy with the cost charges that VIATOR did. The official cost at the CAPITAL BUS is 40% less. So, be aware, check the official before.

Response from Host, Jul 2021

Dear Amig@ Thank you for your comments, and for letting us know your opinion. Dulce, Amigo Tours

Not so good

honey_g, Jul 2021

Bus service wasn’t consistent and they didn’t have English guide in most of the buses. Nobody speaks english due to which we were very confused.

Response from Host, Jul 2021

Dear Amig@ Thank you for your comments, we are a bit puzzled by what you are telling us, we will review it with the team. Normally the bus always has someone bilingual to support you and the audio guide is configured in 8 languages including English. Thank you for your comments. Dulce, Amigo Tours

Spanish vs English

Carrol_W, Jan 2020

I enjoyed the sites from the bus. I was very confused because the information received on the flyer was only in Spanish. I wish they had offered an English version. My sister and I got off at a suggested place but we’re not able to find our way back on the bus. We ended up just taking an Uber back to the hotel and we missed over half of the tour. Please consider having English information for those travelers who do not speak or read Spanish. Thank you

Response from Host, Jan 2020

Hello. Thank you for your review. Our apologies for the inconvenience. We will attend your suggestion about the flyer. Regards. Amigo Group.

Disappointing

lgthompson47, Jan 2020

They need to let you know that you need to bring your own earbuds if you want to hear it in a language other than Spanish. Lots of driving around without much to look at

Response from Host, Jan 2020

Hello. Thank you very much for your comments; we are sorry you didn't have the best experience. We will attend your opinion because the customers are very important for us. Please come back soon and let us show you by then that we've improved. Best regards, Amigo Group

not worth it

347phineasandferb, Nov 2019

Please choose another tour, not only does it have limited stops, it won’t even stop in some of them. We were waiting to be picked up one morning and were completely skipped over even after making attempts to catch the drivers attention; this happened twice. In addition, some of the hearing connections did not work, thus making it hard for non Spanish speakers. To have one tour only in Spanish is also completely discriminatory and prohibits diverse groups to learn more about the city and encourage them to come back. Take the hop on hop off tour bus in red, it costs the same but is much better.

Response from Host, Nov 2019

Hello, Thank you very much for your comments; we are sorry you didn't have the best experience with us. We offer an apology. We would like to follow up on your case. Regards Amigo Group

The actual trip was fine. The vendor would not not accept a mobile ticketso i ha

annieo62, Jan 2019

VirginiaD_J, Feb 2018

This one was really good though we did not have enough time because my husband and I took this tour the day we arrived in Mexico City so it was late in the afternoon already after we found the hotel to get out wrist tag. We just took one straight ride to get everything and it was already dark. Anyway, we got a lot covered the next day.

Johann M, Jan 2018

This was a terrible choice. In Polanco we waited for 30 mins while the other bus came every 5 mins. Then the bus stopped at the Cathedral and I had to walk about 8 blocks to Hostal “El Amigo” to get the bracelets to be able to get back on the bus. At the hostal, NO customer service whatsoever!

Adlermvea, Jan 2018

This tour- terrible! (Used Viator in Boston -great!) Hard to find voucher turn in, 15 minute walk from there with confused directions. Bus driver-no English, Had to ask if English translation equipment or wouldn’t have known. Finally found if go to top we can get translation. Very disorganized!

Gabriela M, Nov 2017

DO NOT BOOK ANY TOURS WITH AMIGOS TOURS! We have traveled all over the world and booked a lot of tours from Viator and have never had any problems before, unfortunately this vendor is the most incompetent, unprofessional and rude company we have ever encountered. First of all, they have two different addresses on their vouchers and their instructions are not clear, so it makes it very difficult to figure out where they want you to meet. The first office we went to, which was impossible to find, didn't have the wristbands we needed to get on the bus, so they made us go to their other offices which are located inside a youth hostel in a very hard to find street of the historic area. They are located on the second floor in a very hidden, back room office. Everyone that works there is very rude, unorganized, incompetent and don't even want you inside their office or answer any questions. We had been walking so much from office to office in the middle of a hot day, during a major political demonstration with thousands of people and blocked streets with my elderly mother, but they still very rudely kicked us out of their offices and told us to wait in the downstairs youth hostel waiting area, which was dirty and smelled gross! After waiting a very long time to get our wristbands we had to walk even more to find one of the bus stops to start our tour. They weren't even kind enough to tell us where to go to pick up the bus, so we had to figure out where to go on our own. I do recommend you doing a Hop-On/Hop-Off bus tour, but DO NOT USE AMIGOS TOUR You will regret it! Viator, please stop recommending Amigos Tours!

I would recommend this tour to anyone that has a lay over in Mexico City. The tour guide was very informative and gave us recommendations for lunch and they were very accommodating when it came to picking us up at the airport and dropping us off.

Adrienne H, May 2017

It was nice to see the city's neighborhoods, but traveling to one location to get a bracelet to ride the bus was a bit too much. It should be easier than that.
