Tapatio Tour
The ubiquitous double-decker buses of Tapatio Tour ply the city’s most popular sights on a circuit track. While the pre-recorded narration (in English, Spanish, French, Italian, German and Japanese) is less than inspirational, the tours allow you to hop off and on wherever you wish, making sightseeing a breeze. Buses depart from the Rotonda de los Jaliscenses Ilustres.
