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!

Overall goid - Tour guides were great. Transportation was nice and clean. They were prompt to pick us us. The stop at Cuernavaca was one hour and it’s only for one block but it is pretty. The second stop at Taxco was too short considering there is more to see. Recommendation is to skip the jewelry store on the way to Taxco, shorten the visit/talking points at the church and the other jewelry store. Only had free time to eat and go into one store. I understand the tour company or guides can make money with stops at certain stores but I’d rather pay extra to skip those places. Overall I would recommend this tour company.

Fun in the Silver Center of Mexico - The tour picked us up from our hotel. The guide Daniel and driver Miguel spoke to us in Spanish and English. They told us all about Mexico City as we drove through on our way to Cuernavaca. Cortez was a good topic and we were shown lots of beautiful old church. The streets were full of vibrant people. The next stop was in Taxco, after a very interesting ride through a cloud high roadway. In Taxco we went to a fourth generation silver store, with a guaranteed 92.5% purity. We shopped and bought some very fine silver. The owners were very friendly and accommodating, answering all our questions. Afterwards we strolled through the village and enjoyed a mountain dinner. Well planned and highly enjoyable! 5 stars!

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...

Waits of more than 2 hours, lack of guidance and order - We waited more than 2 hours to start the tour. In Hornavaca we only had 30 min, and we knew nothing more there. At Taxco they put us in a jewelry store away and left us for an hour, then they were forcing us to eat at a restaurant we didn’t want to go into, and there was nothing nearby, because I was several kilometers away before entering Taxco. Then they took us and left us at Taxco for 4 hours. And now. We return at 00:30 to CDMX... I really paid to have an organized, 100% guided experience but I think I would have done better if I had taken public transport.
