So, drive down and make a road trip out of it

wtf are you talking about?
pretty sure (I’ll check my notes) that the OP didn’t mention driving there...

Mexico City is a world class destination on par with London, Paris, Madrid, Rome etc. and it’s a few hours flight away

It should be perfectly safe.

The murder rate in Baton Rouge and New Orleans is more than three times high as the rate in Mexico City.

Are there parts of the city that are unsafe? Yes, just as there are parts of many US cities that are unsafe. But tourists are very unlikely to see any of those areas, unless they go to the Topito market, which every website or guidebook will tell you is risky.

And driving from Mexico City up to Queretaro (as I have done) or over to Puebla is also perfectly safe and not very difficult. Most of Mexico is very safe to drive.

Glad I could educate you.
