Beautiful Taxco - It was a pleasant and enjoyable trip. Our gide very knowledgeable and our driver very safe. The restaurant I give 3.5 stars but it's expected for turists. I recommend this tour to everyone.

A Great Day in Taxco - Our family enjoyed a great day in Taxco, our driver and guide Manuel was very kind and accommodating. We enjoyed a comfortable ride in both directions despite the heavy traffic. Manuel showed us some shops and a nice restaurant for lunch and also gave us plenty of time as we desired at all of the locations. A very nice day and really great guy as our guide and driver.

Excellent tour, beautiful Taxco, Carlos the guide a 7. Eye trip advisor charges almost double, deal directly with the agency. - Nice tour, excellent guide Carlos. I do not suggest buying through trip advisor you pay double, buy in Mexico local.

It may be better - The destinations are magical but the recommended restaurant in Taxco is not the best. It is also not very comfortable that with the excuse of learning from the extraction of silver you will be locked to buy things. Good guide with good command of the subject

Day trip to Cuernavaca and Taxco - The tour was a bit disorganized with our pickup being 30 minutes late and then stopping for gas (the van should have been filled prior to picking anyone up) for 30 minutes (we were told it would be only 10), which cost us an hour. Cuernavaca was OK, though, due to earthquake damage, some of the sites were closed. In Taxco, after visiting a decent jewelry shop, our guide led us to lunch at an OK restaurant near the center of town, but, after that, he lost a bit of control over the group (we were 12) and the visit to the cathedral was a bit chaotic. Further, we were not told about being able to climb the church tower to get a vista over the whole town. Lastly, Taxco is overrun with cars in its streets and, unless something is changed, will be ruined by traffic. It makes it hard to enjoy the city unless you get away onto the side streets too small for cars. Also, keep in mind that this tour will have you in a van for nearly 6 hours.

Awful experience…choose another tour - This entire experience was not great. We were picked up last (45 mins late) and had to sit in the far back of the “luxury” van. Our first stop was Cuernavaca and when we exited, I requested we rotate seats as the back row was exceptionally uncomfortable for a 6’1” person. Our guide, Ursula, told to ask someone to switch and it wasn’t her problem. Needless to say, no one would switch and we spent over 5 hours cramped up in the back of the van. This was booked as ab English trip but at no stop did anyone speak English, only Spanish. Cuernavaca and Taxco were just opportunities to sell crap to tourists, we didn’t see any of the city or the major sights. Such a waste of time and money. Avoid this one !!!

Very poor service. - Azteca failed to come and pick us up as per agreement with the company driver/guide. They claimed that they were coming at 8:20AM versus the time slot of 9AM pickup. We just learned that they were already outside of the hotel where we were. Accordingly, they sent us a message which we never got until we got their phone call.
