Excellent Tour! - This was a great tour. We traded Cuernavaca for a visit to the Xochicalco ruins instead which was amazing. All three locations would not have been possible. The guide knew a lot about the ruins and we had a great visit to a very sparsely visited site. We rode in nice clean van with a great driver. Taxco was amazing as well and we had a great lunch overlooking the town.

The best - Ramon was awesome. He is so knowledgeable and professional. He explained over and above what was included in our trip from the history of the olmecs, tetihuacans, to various different regions in Mexico along with photos and Ipad pictures. The lunch was great. Daniel the driver was verry friendly too. Honestly i had a couple of group/individual tours before and this by far was the best!

Great visit to two beautiful Mexican towns. - Ramon is so knowledgeable and engaging. We had a long day, to Cuernavaca and Taxco so had much time together. I especially loved his descriptions of the Rivera murals and the cathedral. Antonio is a very careful and polite driver. We felt very safe and were able to use our time to the best advantage

Excellent Experience All Around! - Excellent Private Tour to Taxco. We were treated royally by our knowledgeable guide Carlos and our driver Carlos. We called them Carlos squared. We added stops in both locations and the guide paid the entrance fees. We changed the lunch time also. Everything was very customizable. We were very pleased with the full day experience.

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!

The guide was... - The guide was inexperienced. He was very cordial and attentive. I felt as if we just hired a driver. Was expecting more knowledge of the areas.
