10-12 hour Cuernavaca and Taxco tour from Mexico City: Recinto de la Cathedral, Santa Prisca, silver shopping, and sunset views.
“Taxco is really nice!, the time in Taxco was perfect (around 45min), no more time can be given due to the long distance from CDMX. In Cuernavaca the Cathedral was really nice, apart from that there was not much more to see, or we did not receive guidance on what can be seen (better to search in advance) during free time (around 30min). The arrival time to CDMX is around 8:30pm Overall it was a Nice experience and the Guide was really friendly and helpful”
Hotel pickup from Mexico City to Cuernavaca and Taxco in one long day, with guided colonial sights, Santa Prisca, and optional buffet lunch.
“Hay varias cosas que mejorar. Horarios. Salida 1 hora posterior a la indicada. Te indican que llegues al lugar de partida 8.45 y el tour operador indica que su servicio inicia 9.30. Al llegar al lugar de inicio del tour no tienes como identificar al operador. Lugares a visitar. Te llevan a una tienda de joyas de plata que es muy cara y no te dan opción de ir a otras al menos para comparar precios. Si no compras nada pierdes 2 horas. Opciones de comida: En el restaurante que elige el operador solicita la carta general. Los precios y la comida son mejores. Ahorras al menos el 50% a…”
See Teotihuacan, Guadalupe, Taxco, Cuernavaca, Puebla and Cholula from Mexico City with hotel stays, guided days, and key tickets.
“This package was well put together on the whole I thought and covered as much as possible in that time. Be prepared for long days with a fair bit of travelling. All but one of my travelling companions each day were Spanish speakers but the bilingual guides ensured we got all the information during the tours on 3 out of the 4 tour days. On the half day I was the only English speaker and the guide struggled with limited English very apologetically and I struggled with limited Spanish. We did not seem to cover all that was indicated in the blurb and that day was a little disappointing especially…”

Small-group day trip from Mexico City to Cuernavaca and Taxco with A/C transport, a guide, guided sights, and time for lunch and silver.
“El conductor guía llegó con media hora de retraso y su disculpa no fue correcta. El circuito es más el recorrido por la carretera que el tiempo real en ambos sitios. El guía explicó bastante sobre los lugares y respondió todas las preguntas sobre la vida cotidiana en México. En Taxco hubo que descender a pie desde la plaza de la catedral hasta el estacionamiento; un recorrido muy extenso. Contrataría nuevamente; pero solo porque es difícil hacerlo por mis medios.”

“This tour was wonderful ! Nice ride in the minivan from CDMX to Cuernacava and Taxco. Our guide Jose was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. He took us to a restaurant with the best view in Taxco. Even during the pandemic those 2 cities were open and everyone was wearing mask. Also we had free sample of tequila during this tour. The pick up at our hotel was great.”

“I enjoyed the two days trip, the two guides Taxco - Ada and Cholula / Puebla - Aja were very knowledgeable. I leaned some Mexican history from both of them. Just traffics from Mexico City to Cholula and back to city were crazy I think we were in the car for 3.5 hours each trip! Thank you!”

“Pyramids: the pryamids was by far the best experience. Our tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate on Mexican history. We learned a great deal. Mexitours, who organized everything, was professional and responsive to our needs. We purchased the plan that included lunch which we felt was a good idea. Taxco and Cuernavaca: our tour guide was exceptional, especially as he transitioned from Spanish to English. He was full of enthusiasm and a great story teller. We enjoyed seeing parts of Mexico that we would not see on our own and the churches and points of interest were very informative and beautiful. However, the one thing that we found off…”
