8.Live a Mexican Night in Plaza de los Mariachis

★★★★★★★★★★3.0 · 2 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $99

Spend about three hours visiting Plaza Garibaldi, known as Plaza de los Mariachis, on an evening tour from central Mexico City. Your small group travels by air-conditioned vehicle, receives one national alcoholic drink, and returns to the starting point. Dinner costs extra.

“No prior research by operator. After two closed venues, I didn’t think there was any point in proceeding. I agreed with the tour organiser, whom I spoke to but didn’t show up that there was no point in continuing especially as I requested a tour in English and the leader who showed up spoke no English at all so it was impossible to know what was happening. A google translate app isn’t a way to lead a tour either. I was promised a refund so I hope I will get it immediately .”
