Lots of waiting time, not that great experience - The place is nice, the experience not that much.. it costs 180 pesos per adult They made us wait a lot to enter the mine… very big group for the tour They have a foto package optional for extra cost and they prioritise those people in the tour, stopping the tour to do other people’s foto shoot and it was very uncomfortable Cero fluid It should be a fun experience if you have a lot of time and don’t mind waiting and very big group tours

Amigo Tours cancelled this tour 1 hour before it was to start. - Amigo Tours cancelled this 1 hour before it was to start. Because it was so last minute, we could not find another activity so wasted day— disappointing

1h to see the city. - There is 1 hour of free time to see Taxco city without any suggestions where to go to see something so its just wandering around on your own. The tour consists of 2 visits to a silver store to buy jewlery, 30min church tour and 1h long lunch. Meeting place changed at the last moment. Paid for the pre-hispanic tour that was not available and still waiting for a refund.

Horrible experience - I had a horrible experience. The tour operator, Amigo Tours, changed the meeting spot without contacting me on WhatsApp or sending a proper email through Viator. When I spoke to them while still waiting for pickup, I was informed that they had sent an email a day before about a different meeting location, which went to my junk mail. This particular location was far away from where I was, and it was impossible to join the group. They didn't have a problem contacting me on WhatsApp afterwards. I was waiting for the driver to show up at the location indicated on the Viator ticket. I have never had issues with Viator before and have used them during each of my frequent travels. This is why I am shocked by the unprofessional service they recommend. The company has poor reviews, and this has happened to other travelers before. They ruined my trip to Mexico City, which I had planned for months. I also booked another excursion with this company to Puebla the following day, but under the circumstances, I cancelled it immediately. I reported it to Viator and I'm expecting a full refund. Find another tour operator if you don’t want to deal with stress caused by damage to your travel plans caused by an unprofessional agency.

Terrible planning and experience - Poor planning First, you leave Mexico City too late after 8am! Arriving until 1:30 p.m. in Taxco, where they drop you off at the entrance and you have to walk quite a while to the center. Lunch is taken to a restaurant with few options where you are free until 3 p.m. After this, you are only allowed 1 hour to visit the town and at 5 p.m. you are left alone to return to the meeting point. So you only pay to spend less than 4 hours in that beautiful place! You don't have time to shop or explore the city! In the end, the cave tour is not given despite the payment. And some people who go on the tour do not follow the rules and we have to wait for them and we get delayed or lose time.
