Catching the bus from Mexico City Terminal North, it is a short 1 hour and 45 minute bus journey direct to Tula de Allende. Conveniently the bus station is a 10 minute walk in to the centre of town (el jardin) and then to catch a collectivo to the archaeological site is an additional 10 minutes walk, a short distance out of the centre. Not sure how the collectivos are labelled, but i just asked for the Tula ruins site and was able to be directed to a minivan. The minivan cost 8 pesos (one way) and dropped me at the Oxxo store at the driveway to the site. Add another 10 minute walk and i was buying my tickets. It is one of the few places in Mexico where i was not charged a fee to take video or photos. There were guides at the gate and also on-site however they only seemed to speak Spanish. At each of the buildings there are signs in English and Spanish. Once inside, there are about 4 to 5 key buildings. As others have mentioned it is not a big site. Overall I was there about 2 - 2.5 hours and that was a fairly thorough walk around, time to take photos, and short rest. There are no vendors selling drinks or food once inside, be sure to have water with you. The site is dry, hot and with minimal shade. The crowds were small and by no means anything like the other big tourist sites. For a day trip it is a nice day. To return to town the collectivo will pick up from the Oxxo, you need to wave it down. Alternatively, the taxis offer a shared service. You still pay the same 8 pesos, only you are in a taxi car rather than a mini van. Tula town, unfortunately, doesn't offer so many other attractions, so no need to hang around the town if you don't want to but the town does offer some quaint little cafes offering lunch.

This is one of the seven Pueblo’s Mágicos in Hidalgo, is very Beautiful and unique, be ready for small streets in a very step heal, with no parking available you have to use the few parking lotes and walk up and down the unique streets; we visit the town on Saturday and it was very busy, a lot of vendors outside on the street walks.You have to try Pastes, the tradicional pastry’s fill with either sweet or savory delicious fillings!!!!
