Great tour, wonderful guide - Our guide Ulises was terrific, knowledgeable and very friendly. The tour was well balanced with the wonder of the caves in the morning and the exquisite town of Taxco in the afternoon. We had an excellent mid-day meal which was recommended by Ulises. He was interesting, engaging and translated as needed during the cave tour. All in all, a great day. Cannot recommend it highly enough. Maria & Scott

100% Recommended - Excellent guide Ulysses! Super attentive, explained at good level of detail, very cuts. I went to celebrate my wedding anniversary with my husband, and it was a tour we liked a lot!! We highly recommend it! The grottos are impressive, and we had the opportunity to meet a small part of Taxco. We also went with two other girls and one spoke English and our guide Ulysses translated everything! Very attentive! 100% recommended

Subterranean wonders - Moderate level of activity with walking with a bit humidity inside grottos. Designed illumination highlights nature's breathtaking wonders.

Worth the trip. - My partner and I had a fantastic time on this tour. The guide Ulises has been the best guide we have had in Mexico. Very friendly and a wealth of knowledge. He was able to answer pretty much any question we could come up with. The cave was amazing to see and Taxco is definitely worth seeing. Such a unique landscape. The lunch location had beautiful views but it was definitely priced for tourists. Overall I would highly recommend.

Exceptional day tour to the Cacahuamilpa Caves and Taxco - Ulises was a wonderful driver and guide for the day trip. He kept constantly aware of how we were doing and ensured we were enjoying ourselves, and shared a lot of nice information about our destinations. We did not feel pressured or hurried at any time during the day.

Stunning Caves and Beautiful City with an Awesome Tour Guide - We had such an amazing experience visiting the caves and Taxco! The caves were incredible and HUGE! And Taxco was so beautiful and cute - I wish we had more time to explore! We will just have to return! The view from the restaurant is jaw dropping. Our guide, Ulises, was so informative, compassionate, and genuinely so fun to talk to, even on the long drives. If you can, request him!! It’s a long day but we highly recommend - it’s so worth it!

Wonderful Experience. - It was a fantastic trip. The caves were spectacular. Almost a private tour because we went during a hot time and early morning. Nice and cool in the cave. Our guide, Ulises was great! He made great conversation on the car ride and made sure we were all taken care of from start to finish. Highly recommend.

Great experience - The tour itself is very complete. Convenient options to meet, our driver Cesar was very friendly and helpful. The places we visited were extraordinary. The cave is magnificent; it is a 2 mile guided walk through this amazing view of stalactites and stalagmites, our guide Roberto had plenty of funny and interesting information about the place, at the end the return is on your own but is well illuminated and the path is easy to follow. The total walk is 4 miles with plenty of stairs but without any doubt it is worth it. Taxco is beautiful!!! Just to be there and enjoy the town is enough but our guide Estephano was sure to take us to key points of the town including a beautiful church and a restaurant with delicious food. The only negative thing I can say about this tour is the traveling from Mexico City and back. It is long and tedious, Cesar was wonderful on trying to make it better but the distance and traffic is something that just can not be controlled and it needs to be done to be able to have this marvelous experience, without any doubt, I will recommend it.

great tour, excellent value - The caves were spectacular and Taxco was okay, if a bit touristy. I really like the driver, Cesar, who was very friendly and passionate about Mexico.
