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.

Worth the drive - The city was beautiful. The tour guide and driver were wonderful. The guide kept us informed and made sure we felt secure. The drive is long, but we stopped half way for restrooms and stretch our legs. I recommend bringing a bottle water if you need a sip and perhaps a snack. lunch was not until 2:30. Lunch was a buffet and was very good. It was worth the trip. Beautiful sights along the way

Beautiful Taxco - Taxco is beautiful, it’s a jewel in the middle of nowhere, the history, the beauty of the town and the silver jewelry is awesome. The team was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The restaurant they suggested (Atrio) was really good and the view was perfect to finish off the day.

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 !!!

Terrible and WORST tour - This tour is worst. It’s a waste of time and money. Not an interesting tour. Travel time is exhausting. Food not good ,money you paid is not worth it. I may suggest that the visitors should choose where they want to eat and not where the tour guide would bring them to the restaurant he chooses. The tour guide can give suggestions where visitors can eat. I will never,never recommend this tour.
