Yes, you should tip tour guides in Mexico City, as well as waiters at restaurants and other service workers. Tipping serves as a sign of appreciation, and many tour guides rely on tips for a portion of their income. Mexico City tours may not include gratuity as part of the stated price, so come prepared with a little cash.

Mexico City is tourist-friendly—though, like any big city, it may be difficult to navigate as a first-timer. Over the past decades, the city government has invested in making improvements to city infrastructure—for instance, the expansion of the Metrobús rapid transit and Ecobici share bike systems—lessening the pain of moving around a city with world-famous traffic.

Yes, three days in Mexico City are enough to see some major points of interest and experience the culinary scene. However, the metropolis rewards longer trips, and you won’t lack things to see if you decide to stay longer. Explore out-of-the-way neighborhoods and food stalls, or climb the city’s highest point, the volcano Ajusco.
