We took this 10N/11D trip with another couple in November 2014. We flew from Los Angeles & they flew in from Florida. We love luxury buses in Mexico. They are very comfortable and efficiently run. Thus, we used these buses to go from town to town. I can’t recall the exact costs, but they were mostly in $20 – 40 range for our itinerary.
The total cost of housing for the two of us was about $600. All the buses and the tour was about $300 for both of us.
Day 1: arrived in Mexico City & cab to the Airbnb 2-bedroom apartment($125/night) in Roma area. Taxi to Zocalo in downtown & walked around the area.
Day 2: Got on the light rail to Xochimilco & enjoyed the boat ride around the canals. Explored San Angel area on the way back.
Day 3: Anthropology Museum and Frida Khalo House Museum
Day 4: ETN Bus to San Miguel de Allende, 4 hours NW. Our Airbnb 2-bedroom house was just about a 10-minute walk from the central square. 2 nights at $135/night
Day 5: Cab to Santuario de Atotonilco and La Gruta hot springs.
Day 6: Bused 1.5 hours NW to Guanajuato. Airbnb 2-bedroom house for two nights($120/night). Walked around town.

Day 8: Bus 2 hours south to Morelia, check into our Airbnb 2-bedroom($100/night). Walked around the city.
