Great experience at Taxco - Donte was a great guide. He knew exactly what he was doing and when to do each step. Taxco was a charming city. We had a great experience seeing the replica of a silver mine, walked around for pictures, and shopped in two places, one expensive but with good quality and the other was cheaper. He also showed us the scenes in Cuernavaca. The morning pickup was a bit of wait but after that everything was great. We were able to come back around 7:30. Overall a great tour.

Great tour - The trip was amazing! We spent such a wonderful time in Cuernavaca and Taxco. Both places are so historical and unique, especially Taxco which is reminded me Toledo town in Spain. Also, Taxco known as a place where silver and silver products are mined and sold. I would definitely recommend the tour.

Highly recommended - I really enjoyed a trip to picturesque Taxco. Our guide, Dante, was excellent; he even arranged to pick me up from my hotel and drop me off at the end of the tour. It was a big difference from the day before, when I was supposed to go to Taxco with another tour agency, Amigo Tours. They failed to pick me up from the meeting point indicated on my ticket, saying they had changed the location. As a result, I didn't join them and booked this trip for the following day. It was a fabulous day and very well-organized excursion with plenty of free time.

Excellent tour - Taxco is a beautiful town, a must. The stop in Cuernavaca was balanced, long enough. We arrived at Taxco in good time. Perhaps what would be missing is having at least an additional hour of walking around the village; currently they give an hour and it is not enough to go through it and do shopping

The two cities are very... - The two cities are very worth this side trip. Note that there is a lot of driving required. I encourage the guide to be careful not to leave members of the group behind. There was a lengthy emphasis on the silver shops (it was even the first stop in Taxco and then there were two others), and this should be shortened.

Transfer with friendliness - The transfer and friendliness, was fine, but they did not fulfill what promised to visit, did not clarify at first and took us to a place for lunch, but each paid their bill, it could still be said that the place was optional. For the rest of it.

Disappointing - This tour was not what I expected. I assumed there would be a tour leader to show us around and give explanations. There was only a driver who knew some English. He tried hard but was not what I expected. There was a lot more time driving than I expected. Cuernavaca was just a stop to see the Cathedral. In Taxco there was a stop at a fake silver mine for some explanation and then shopping in the attached jewelry store. Then there was lunch, a short walk through town with a stop at the cathedral and then shopping at another jewelry store. The driver did not set time limits on the shopping so there was a lot of standing around and waiting. Then a long walk back to the bus. If you expect to see an interesting colonial town, this is not it
