Best tour guide in Mexico! - If we could give 10 stars, we would! Sergio is the best tour guide in Mexico City, and we’ve been coming here for more than 5 years and have done many tours. This experience to Cuernavaca and Taxco will be one of the most memorable experiences we’ve had in Mexico. Truly worth it! Arturo was a great driver and got us there and back quickly and safely. Sergio is a great storyteller with so much knowledge about Mexico, and you truly feel like you’ve learned and explored at the same time. What a memorable experience! We will book with Sergio again!

Nice tour in the mountains - Excellent trip if you want to explore a quirky mountain town. I wasn’t feeling good (too much tequila) but our tour guide Maximo was very attentive and accommodating to us. It’s a long ride with many curves “Curvas Peligrosas” and high altitude so take some medicine if you’re not used to that. Great place to buy silver goods. Would recommend!

Phenomenal tour company! - We used Mexico Tour Freelance every day for a week, combining multiple tours shown on Tripadvisor. The whole time we were with the same tour guide, Arturo, who was full of great information. We also had Christian as our driver every day, who expertly navigated that crazy Mexico City traffic. Together they did a fantastic job making customizations to all of the tours on the fly when something came up that interested one of us. Did this tour on our last night, and it was a beautiful way to end the vacation. Cuernavaca is was a brief visit to a few main sites, then it was on to Taxco which was really different. Narrow streets winding up the hill make the ride way up to the overlook exciting, and the panoramic view is beautiful.
