Turibus: City Tour by Manyana
i've stayed in town for 4 days only, and so was recommened to take a city tour. it was a good choice.the tour is divided into two parts; city centre and the southern neighbourhood. the city centre is Zocalo, Condesa, Zona Rosa, Polanco and the tour is way much bigger. i haven't been to the south, so don't know much really. however, each tour may last approximately for 3 hours, total of 6 hours if you continue to be on the bus. you can feel free and hop off and on anytime you wish up from 9 to 9.
you'll be given a headset so you can listen to a tour guide on each area you pass by, either in spanish or english.i took the bus from zocalo where i stayed. since i was on my own, my eyes automatically lied on someone on their own as well. she had a seat on the fifth row on the right. i had mine 2 or 3 rows after hers, shying away.
it was a nice a lift in the beginning but then i said i'd do something and have a company. so i used my oldest and best trick ever; i suddenly got lost and was looking for the place on the map i was given, just randomly asking,
"hoy senora, hablo ingles?" pleaing for a tourist-related help.
"oui, je palrez espanol" a lady with a mexican feature replied
eventually i ended up with a mexican lady who spoke french and couldn't speak english. i was surprised - what a combination. she turned to be married to a french guy and living in france, and visting her family in mexico. we hopped off, had a nice mexican lunch, while communicating with malretarded french and disabled spanish. it was such a great fun
