Excellent Tour!
This was a great tour. We traded Cuernavaca for a visit to the Xochicalco ruins instead which was amazing. All three locations would not have been possible. The guide knew a lot about the ruins and we had a great visit to a very sparsely visited site. We rode in nice clean van with a great driver. Taxco was amazing as well and we had a great lunch overlooking the town.

Silver Cities
Both cities feature visits to jewelry stores with a wide selection of silver items. Explanations were provided about the differences in the quality of silver. Both cities feature their Catholic churches and their unique art and design. The colonial architecture of the buildings of Taxco's city centre and it's white wash is rather stunning. Our guide, Eduardo, was informative, jovial and has a great sense of humour, which I truly appreciate.

Beautiful Trip
Very nice trip but a litle long (12 hours). Profesional and kind guide.The restaurant chouse for lunch mediocre.Maybe it will be worth more time for Tasco.

Way too much time spent...
Way too much time spent in the silver boutiques. One rather than two would have been great. Our guide compounded two jobs, being the driver and the guide and in two languages.. She is a Super driver 5 Stars for sure!

Ulysses was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide.
The sights were very interesting and surprising in their appearance. The caves were a particular highlight.

Excellent but tiring day; first-rate guide
We went on an excursion to Xochicalco and to Taxco. It was a lot of driving, but well worth it. Our guide, Daniel, was excellent. He was engaging and personable. Since some in our group spoke Spanish and others did not, he switched back and forth easily from English to Spanish. He also adjusted his comments for those who knew very little about Mexico and those of us who knew quite a bit. He was knowledgeable, but unlike other guides who often just make things up, he was open about what was speculation, and if he didn't know something, he was honest about that as well, which we respected. I highly recommend Daniel as a guide. The Xochicalco archaeological site is excellent, with a small but good museum and the Pyramid of Quetzalcóatl and the ballcourts. It was a hot day and there was a lot of uphill climbing, but the views were worth it. It is not a well-known site, and there were very few people there, unlike other touristy places like Teotihuacán. Taxco, of course, is a jewel, and the views of the city, along with the Santa Prisca church, are a must-see. The price of the tour was reasonable, and Daniel let us stay longer than the contracted period of time; he was patient and understanding.

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!

Good tour but it is a long day. Our tour guide was very pleasant and informative. Cuernavaca is a bigger city with a smaller colonial city center. Taxco was quaint and good place to purchase silver.

Sunny trip to Cuernavaca and Taxco
This was a lovely trip to take. Not far away from Mexico City, you get the chance to visit two places Cuernavaca and Taxco on the same day, and not get too tired. We also stoped by to shop for some silver jewlery and had an amazing lunch in Taxco. This town is amazing, beautiful views, quaint streets, cute little corners, and ofcourse lovely people. Our tour guide Julio Cesar was well prepared, full of positive energy and always there for us. Thank you!

When to visit

Taxco is a great overnight stop if you're traveling between Acapulco and Mexico City, with a solid selection of nice, if not luxurious, hotels.
Try Taxco’s signature drink, called Berta, a combination of tequila with honey and lemon.
Safety in the Mexican state of Guerrero has come into question due to crime, according to the US Department of State. Although tourists are rarely targeted, travelers considering a visit should refer to their government’s travel advisories for the latest information.
