Taxco and Cuernavaca in one 10-hour day: Santa Prisca baroque church, artisan silver shopping, and a pre-Hispanic mine tunnel.
“Amazing day with a super dedicated guide (Barbara) who had a lot of interesting things to tell us and always made sure we were doing okay!! Did everything in English and Spanish so everyone could understand, very much appreciated :)”
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.

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…”
Private-small group day trip from Mexico City to Cacahuamilpa Caves and Taxco, with cave wonder, free Taxco time, and cable-car views.
“Exceptional tour with a friendly, knowledgeable guide! Taxco is gorgeous, and the cave system is too large for pictures or video to capture it!”
