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

Good overall but not as advertised - My trip started with being picked up by a tour guide. Quickly we realized that those of us in the van were heading in different directions. I then was told to switch cars when we got to central. I texted the person who organized the tour and asked him what was going on. He said this was the plan all along and acknowledged that should have been communicated. The trip to Cueravera was very quick but nice none the less. When we got to Taxco, it became evident that the others on the tour with me had a bit of a different agenda. They spent so much time talking that we ended up spending a long time at each place. The tour guide quickly picked up on this and led me to the next stop for which I was extremely appreciative. I do wish that there was some guidelines in terms of times in a specific place. It was clear that some of the other guests didn’t pick up on the fact that we had limited time. Overall the ride was great but the plan was not followed. I never got to see how the silver was made which was a part of the trip I was very excited about. The tour guide was truly phenomenal but I think this tour in general needs to tighten up loose ends. Something I do want to note is I articulated the desire to sit toward the front because I have gotten very carsick. Not only did they listen to me, they had me sit in the front. If you go bring cash and snacks!

The... - The itinerary offered is not fulfilled. In Cuernavaca the tour to the cathedral was no more than 20 min, even less. Then they only left 20 minutes free (instead of 1 hour) which was to go freely around the cathedral, go to the bathroom, and see the fair in front. They wouldn't let you roam the village. Too bad as I had to do considering 1 hour off. The visit to silverware totally unnecessary, which interests you has many reins to choose from. The very nice taxco village

Bad experience - Take money in coins to pay for taxis, use sunblock and cap or hat, do not buy jewelry in Maestros Artesanos its prices are exorbitant, buy jewelry in the Tianguis, find your favorite restaurant and not the one that your tour guide tells you. The tour guide provided very little information compared to other guides I have met.
