Silver Cities - Both cities feature visits to jewelry stores with a wide selection of silver items. Explanations were provided about the differences in the quality of silver. Both cities feature their Catholic churches and their unique art and design. The colonial architecture of the buildings of Taxco's city centre and it's white wash is rather stunning. Our guide, Eduardo, was informative, jovial and has a great sense of humour, which I truly appreciate.

Cuernavaca and Taxco must-see - It is a beautiful excursion! of Cuernavaca you can only see the chapels, maybe you could tour it a little more, but that would take time for Taxco that is truly unmissable! I advise to stay at least 1 night to enjoy it fully and without hurry. Both the guide Hugo and the operator Jorge were most friendly!!! super recommended!!!

Taxco is a beautiful town worth a visit - We enjoyed this tour Taxco is such a beautiful town and in Cuernavaca you make one stop only to see a church. It was however a long trip but worth it.

The best experience in Cuernavaca and Taxco - We’ve had the best time with Gabriela visiting Cuernavaca and Taxco on our private tour from Mexico City. Gabby is absolutely amazing- knowledgeable, professional and friendly. We’ve learned a lot, saw unique places and loved learning and sharing. Would highly recommend this tour!

Way too much time spent... - Way too much time spent in the silver boutiques. One rather than two would have been great. Our guide compounded two jobs, being the driver and the guide and in two languages.. She is a Super driver 5 Stars for sure!

Cuernavaca and Taxco in 1 day - The stop in Cuernavaca was super short to get to know the center a little better, when we were about to arrive at Taxco we went to a dining room which had no other food options than the Buffet that was had for the rest of the group and when we arrived at Taxco which was our main destination we were 3 hours maximum to know the most relevant of the center; so I think that should handle the time better.

Good. - The guide Ricardo was very friendly and patient with the whole group, the visit to Cuernavaca was brief but beautiful; the visit to Taxco could improve a little is lost a lot of time in silver workshop where you arrive prior to the center of Taxco and I think you could improve in that the option of eating, is not in that place forcibly, but in the center everyone choose where to eat. Everything else from the visit well, Taxco is very nice. Finally something we didn’t like was that the driver was making awkward comments when he saw women on the street.

Meal includes not to be taken - Because of lunch, I had lunch because they said a buffet. It wasn’t that:: just a soup and a main plate with only 3 choices of each. For dessert no choice For the price I am very disappointed...
