I enjoyed the trip though the departure was a bit late and as it takes a lot to get to Taxco, we arrived very late._br/_ Cuernavaca was ok but we only could visit the church. For Taxco, it was great and the whole group made the day really enjoyable._br/_ Just take into consideration that as the trip takes a lot of time, you are kind of running the whole day.

Taxco is incredible and well worth the 3 hour drive from Mexico City. Our tour however was poorly organised. We changed buses three times before leaving Mexico City. 9am was our pickup time from the hotel lobby, eventually picked up at 9.45 then with the bus changes and also tour guide changes it meant we finally left Mexico City at 11.45am. With a 3 hour drive ahead our tour guide opted to miss out Cuernavaca and head straight to Taxco. When we arrived in Taxco if became apparent that the main agenda was to only showcase the silver stores. We had to abandon our tour guide to avoid this and in doing so got to see some beautiful sights. It was 8pm when the bus pulled into Cuernavaca on the return trip - very dark and late, we couldn't see very much at all so it was pointless. Our tour guide also tried to tell us that some of our party had not paid for the tour which was completely untrue as we paid for this in full well in advance. We were never given an explanation as to why there were so many changes at the start of the trip. Definitely go to Taxco, it's the prettiest little town and well worth seeing, just a shame that the tour company itself is not very organised.

The tour is not really one to Cuernavaca-we stopped at one church which was closed due to earthquake damage. Taxco is a long trip in the van. They stopped us at a silver factory outside Taxco-we were captured for both buying and for a lunch buffet worst food we had in Mexico. Taxco itself is a lovely city. We would rather have eaten there and had time to wander the little streets and shop there. Guides were fine-people need to know how long the drive is and a better idea of the real schedule. If you have a short time in Mexico city-do not take this trip.

Taxco is a beautiful town, but there was not much to do than going from shop to shop and buy some silver. There's nothing interesting to do or see in Cuernavaca, so it would have been better not to stop there, rather go straight to Taxco and just go back to Mexico City a little bit earlier. Our guide was very friendly and with a great sense of humor.

We absolutely loved Taxco, Cuernavaca, Raul, our tour guide and his skillful driver Natcho! This was a small 12-15 person tour. We enjoyed the pick-up service from our hotel and drop off at the end of the tour. Raul has a low, raspy, but clear English speaking voice, which 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, we enjoyed every minute of it and enjoyed meeting all the interesting and fun people who was on the tour that day as well. Thanks for the lovely memories!

My husband and I had an awesome time on our day-long excursion to Taxco and Cuernavaca. Alejandra, our guide, was an encyclopedia of knowledge about Mexico and the places we visited, and our driver, Juan Carlos, provided excellent service. He got us, to and fro with safety and efficiency. You will likely stop at a silver workshop on the outskirts of Taxco. There you are given a brief presentation about the history of silver in Mexico. They will tell you what to look for in purchasing Mexican silver and what to avoid. We found this helpful. After this, they take you into the big room where table after table is filled with articles for purchase. You are not obligated to buy, so don't feel any pressure. We purchased a small item and then went outside to enjoy the views. All in all, a very nice excursion out of the city.

El operador del tour muy impuntual más de 1 hora retrasado en el inicio, el tour hecho a la ligera, con poco interés de parte del guía y sin visitar sitios importantes por falta de tiempo
Review by: Yosu A, August 2017
If you want to go to Taxco and Cuernavaca, don't go on this tour. Go on your own, or pick something better. The stop in Cuernavaca is a complete waste of time. There is nothing there to see, other than the old church, which is in a pretty sad state of disrepair.

Loved Taxco, very beautiful. Cuernavaca cathedral was in the process of restoration however we did enjoy the surrounds. Guide was in too much of a hurry to allow us to do souvenir shopping apart from the Silver stall shopping in Taxco. Would recommend.

Tour was rather good but I'm seeing a trend with the day trips in Mexico that they bring you to a touristy shop with high prices. I'm all for learning about the process of silver mining and the history, but to have a long designated time to shop at one particular shop is insulting. ...makes one feel like all Americans are chopped liver. Anyhow, the drive to both cities was nice and Taxco was quite picturesque. Don't expect to find a single artisinal silver product though. All the shops in town are cheap mass-produced silver with zero artwork involved. Had I known this, I might have skipped the tour. I would plan on going just to soak in the nice colonial architecture and views...that's it. It's good for the local people that tourism is good, but for me it's very sad.

The guide was knowledgeable and helpful. Both Taxoc and Cuernavaca were interesting, although a church was covered in Cuernavaca
Review by: MCDAVID57, May 2017
Taxco and Cuernavaca are great places to visit. But it was a long day starting at 8:15 and ending around 10pm. Of course it was convenient to be picked up but we were the first and the last dropped off. We did not get on the road until at 9:15 going around picking up other travelers.

A must do from Mexico City!

A perfectly pleasant day however the balance of activity was not quite what we wanted with a little too long spent at the silver shop and restaurant.
