Last details - trip that is about to start
Hi everybody,
Our trip to Mexico starts next week (2 adults, 2 kids, ages of 5 and 1).
I would like some advice about specific topics:
a) transportation between Leon Airport and Guanajuato City (is there a bus or a transfer direct from the airport?)
b) transportation between Queretaro City and Mexico City airport (easier way to get there)
b) safety situation right now in Mexico (due to the "gasolinazo");
c) best spot nowadays to convert dollars in mexican peso at Mexico City airport (is Banco IXE at the airport still a good option?);
Thank you!

There is no bus from BJX to Guanajuato. To take a bus from Leon to Guanajuato, you'd first need to take an authorized taxi from the airport to the bus station for about $400. Then the bus to Guanajuato bus station. Then taxi to Guanajuato centro. Why buy bus tickets for 4 people when BJX's website shows authorized taxi's to GTO centro to be $440? Doesn't make sense. Nor does more than doubling your transit time.
The $440 quoted might not be up to date, but it should be close. Take the taxi.

Urge you to rethink the dollar thing. It is getting harder & harder to exchange dollars to pesos in Mexico. Many banks no longer do so. Even those that will limit amounts hours of exchange & passport is required. The Exchange shops will beat you up over the exchange rate as will most hotels & restaurants (if they take them at all). At the least buy pesos at a US bank before coming.
