Rudy and Alfonso were great tour guides. It was a long ride to Taxco, but they kept us entertained with interesting information about the geology, history and culture of the area. The included breakfast and lunch were delicious. Taxco is a jewel and definitely worth a day trip. Rudy and Alfonso did a great job of providing us guidance and we felt like everything was very well organized while also giving us the opportunity to spend a little bit of personal time shopping in Taxco. I would definitely recommend this tour.
The history of Taxco and the tour overall was just what we hoped for. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Lunch was delicious.
It’s a long car ride but worth it. The city of Taxco is very picturesque. The cathedral in the main square is beautiful. It was Interesting to learn about the mining of silver and find beautiful original designs. We enjoyed our authentic breakfast along the way and a lovely lunch at the Angel Inn overlooking the city. Bring snacks and water for the journey. Even though it’s at 5000 feet, it’s warm there.
Guide had lots of great historical information, showed me around the cute town and help me find a particular art piece that I wanted to buy. Had a great lunch in a beautiful location.
I absolutely loved Taxco and the tour of Jose, our tour guide and his skillful driver Humberto! This was a small 3-person tour. I enjoyed the pick-up service from my hotel and drop off at the end of the tour. Jose has a clear English, and his enthusiasm made everything he said, sound more interesting and entertaining.
This tour was very pleasant as it was laid back, we had some free time on our own and not as rushed as other tours are. This is a lovely full day trip, I enjoyed every minute of it and enjoyed meeting an interesting and fun couple who was on the tour that day as well.
Thanks for the lovely memories!
A great experience. Kudos to Rudy of Happy Travel and his teammate Santiago. We were picked up in our hotel on time. Rudy, while smoothly driving to Taxco, gave us a clear picture of what we were going to see during the trip. The trip was for 3 hours and there were no sleepy moments as Rudy and Santiago shared all their knowledge about Taxco and Acapulco. This was a private trip and i highly recommend it as Rudy made the tour so personalized. An hour after we left Acapulco, we had breakfast. The one hour trip made us see beautiful sceneries. During this early morning trip, you will even see the clouds below you hovering over the mountains. Just a short breakfast and there we started to see again the greeneries of the mountains, the huge cactus, and the statue of President Guerrero. Funny Santiago, during the trip, would boast highly of San Dionisio fortress. Reaching Taxco after 2 hours, you will stop in a jewelry store, Their items are amazing. Then, you start walking over the cobblestone made roads. Santiago would be very protective of you as the roads are narrow and many Volkswagen Beetle taxis moves beside you. Then, you reach the zocalo, which is the downtown. Rudy brought us to Del Angel Inn Restorante. This place is fabulous. Their rooftop gives you a good view of Taxco City and they serve good food. After eating, we strolled again the streets of Taxco City but really took time to see Santa Prisca Cathedral. This church is so beautiful that it would make you thank God for helping the people who made this beautiful church. The trip is highly recommended and when you go to Acapulco, you have to inquire with Viator on how you can have Rudy of Happy Travel to give you the tour to Taxco or just a city tour of Acapulco. Rudy and Santiago are not only knowledgeable people but they also give you a sincere and honest touch of themselves during the tour. Again THANK YOU Rudy and Santiago.
Again Rudy is the best, so entertaining and knowledgeable. He knows his business! Loved the day and the time we spent with Rudy and Santiago! Highly recommend this tour.
I can only say Taxco was beautiful! George, our tuor guide was a gentleman and he was extremely knowledgeable. He explains a lot of things in the car ride to Taxco so when you get there there's very little explaining needed to be done and he just shows you the important things as you walk other wise, our walk around on your own was also fantastic, not to mention the shopping was great!!. .I could have stayed longer! What a charming city. This is the Mexico I have expected to see. Simply marvelous. Victor our guide was most gracious and knowledgeable.
