The city was beautiful. The tour guide and driver were wonderful. The guide kept us informed and made sure we felt secure. The drive is long, but we stopped half way for restrooms and stretch our legs. I recommend bringing a bottle water if you need a sip and perhaps a snack. lunch was not until 2:30. Lunch was a buffet and was very good. It was worth the trip. Beautiful sights along the way

A Great Day in Taxco

Douglas_S, Jul 2023

Our family enjoyed a great day in Taxco, our driver and guide Manuel was very kind and accommodating. We enjoyed a comfortable ride in both directions despite the heavy traffic. Manuel showed us some shops and a nice restaurant for lunch and also gave us plenty of time as we desired at all of the locations. A very nice day and really great guy as our guide and driver.

Day trip to Cuernavaca and Taxco

Tom_T, Dec 2022

The tour was a bit disorganized with our pickup being 30 minutes late and then stopping for gas (the van should have been filled prior to picking anyone up) for 30 minutes (we were told it would be only 10), which cost us an hour. Cuernavaca was OK, though, due to earthquake damage, some of the sites were closed. In Taxco, after visiting a decent jewelry shop, our guide led us to lunch at an OK restaurant near the center of town, but, after that, he lost a bit of control over the group (we were 12) and the visit to the cathedral was a bit chaotic. Further, we were not told about being able to climb the church tower to get a vista over the whole town. Lastly, Taxco is overrun with cars in its streets and, unless something is changed, will be ruined by traffic. It makes it hard to enjoy the city unless you get away onto the side streets too small for cars. Also, keep in mind that this tour will have you in a van for nearly 6 hours.

Thank you for the comments It is important to say that is a shared tour picking up in hotels in the most crowded city CDMX, so sometimes and mostly in high season is difficult to get extrictly on time for the pick up. We hope you enjoyed it Thank you

Terrible and WORST tour

Nelia_C, Dec 2022

This tour is worst. It’s a waste of time and money. Not an interesting tour. Travel time is exhausting. Food not good ,money you paid is not worth it. I may suggest that the visitors should choose where they want to eat and not where the tour guide would bring them to the restaurant he chooses. The tour guide can give suggestions where visitors can eat. I will never,never recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Beautiful Taxco

Omar_C, Aug 2020

Taxco is beautiful, it’s a jewel in the middle of nowhere, the history, the beauty of the town and the silver jewelry is awesome. The team was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant they suggested (Atrio) was really good and the view was perfect to finish off the day.

Bellamente sorprendente!

Eleonora_B, Jun 2023

Quedamos maravillados con la iglesia más antigua de América situada en Cuernavaca! Y las sinuosas callecitas junto a la arquitectura blanca del Pueblo Mágico de Taxco hicieron nuestra delicia. Por supuesto el impacto que causa Santa Brisca, coronó nuestra estadía.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Gracias por darnos la oportunidad de servirles y que bueno que hayan disfrutado bastante

El pueblo blanco

Marielos_O, Dec 2022

Las calles e iglesia de Taxco muy pintorescas. La guía explicaba muy bien. El recorrido por Cuernavaca es muy corto. Sólo se conoce la iglesia y luego te dan 15 minutos para baño y ya para Taxco.

Response from Host, Dec 2022

Hola buenas tardes, correcto la visita a Cuernacava es solo una parada tecnica para visitar la Iglesia y parar al baño, saludos
