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!

Our Spanish speaker guide was awesome, knowledgeable with a great sense of humor and accommodating. Unfortunately I forgot his name, but has a not common name.

Great 1 day trip in Taxco/Cuernavaca

Roman_P, May 2024
My wife and sister-in-law booked this trip the day before and they made it work for us. It was a long day and very hot but the van had some AC to make it a little more comfortable. The town of Taxco was a very cute little town and wish we could stay there for our next trip. They also picked us up from our AirBnb so there was no need to be at a meeting point. The tour guide was very nice and good at his job. He was bilingual (Spanish and English) and made sure both languages were included. We definitely recommend for anyone trying to get to see a cute town.

Taxco only tour

szuniga9, Dec 2023
This tour was advertised as English but it was all in Spanish. We were asked to meet at 7:30am at the meeting spot but got shuffled from van to van all morning. We finally got going on our 3rd van transfer at about 11am. We spent so much time in a silver jewelry store on our way to Taxco even though the majority of us had expressed we did not want to shop. Once we finally got to Taxco, we were shuffled into a touristy spot for lunch. We didn’t want to eat there, we prefer to eat at the local markets always. The guide told us she would not wait for us if they finished earlier than the 1 hour allocated for lunch to begin the walking tour. Anyone who has been to Taxco knows how easy it is to get lost there and that’s exactly what happened. So we explored on our own. She told us to meet at a certain meeting spot at a certain time. We were there and of course our guide was not. So here we are again waiting for her even though she wouldn’t wait for us to go have an authentic lunch. This tour said it was a tour to Taxco and Cuernavaca. We spent a total of 30 minutes in Cuernavaca, 20 of those minutes were waiting in the cold for another tour to end so we could consolidate people into 1 bus. We only got to see the cathedral in Cuernavaca but by the time we arrived it was closed and dark so we were rushed in and out and really saw nothing. Total disappointment of a tour.

Response from Host, Dec 2023

We are sorry that our tour was not to your liking. Regarding the pickup, it is not possible that we would have left at 11, we finished at 9:30 and at that time we began the tour. Regarding food, a restaurant is always suggested so as not to separate the group and after they finish, continue with the tour. . All our guides are bilingual and do the tours in both languages.

It was a pleasing tour of...

It was a pleasing tour of amazing Mexico....would like to go back to Taxco someday. The driver, Jaime and guide Arianna are both superb in what they do.

Taxco.

Melissa_I, Apr 2023
Taxco is just lovely, a typical mining town! Guide had a lot of knowledge. The ride is a little long but worthwhile.

Taxco y Cuernavaca

Beatriz_G, Nov 2022
Never been in Taxco. I will stay overnight in that town next time. Too short our stay there . Only to mention that the food at the silver store/mine was not good to my taste and wished we were given the option to eat somewhere else in the town

Guide with little experience, little information on the roadmap.

Dra_S, Feb 2026
Very long time, but most of the time there was no information on the part of the guide. I do not recommend.

Lamentamos que nuestra experiencia no haya sido de tu agrado. No entendemos que fue lo que te desagrado

Nice tour but could be more satisfying

The cities visited very beautiful and the guide very trained, however the transport unit was somewhat uncomfortable; likewise the times were not well distributed.

Ruim - planejamento e tempo de passeio

Lilian_P, Feb 2025
Um tour a Cuernavaca e Taxco saindo da CDMX em uma van de turismo, trajeto levou 3h30 para chegar em Taxco e 3h para voltar. Na ida a primeira parada de aprox 45 min foi em Cuernavaca para conhecer a Igreja principal e seguimos para Taxco, antes de chegar na cidade paramos em uma loja q vende prata, mto comum na região, onde teve uma breve apresentação sobre como reconhecer prata original, tudo me pareceu muito montado somente para ficarmos mais de 1h3 na loja para compra, onde as peças apresentavam valores ate 3x mais caros que na cidade. Deixando apenas 45 min para aproveitar realmente a cidade de Taxco.

AGUSTINA_H, Sep 2024
Hermoso paseo, adriana súper simpatía y muy buena contando todo. Me pareció el tiempo adecuado para cada lugar.

Faltó tiempo para conocer Cuernavaca, Taxco sobró tiempo.

Gregorio_M, Aug 2023
1... Buen idea de recorrido Cuernavaca y Taxco. 2). Creo falta tiempo en Cuernavaca ( suguiero salir de 8 a 8:30 am de CdMx.. almorzar en Cuernavaca , dar tiempo a recorrido en Cuernavaca, salir a Taxco a las 12 media.. llegar 2pm a Taxco,recorrido por pueblo, luego comida y rato libre... Regreso a las 6pm... Ojalá se tome en cuenta para otros turistas y no decepcionarnos de bonito paseo...
