Overview

Safe Trip: Because we care about you, we have put in place an international Safe and Healthy Protocol during all your tour. Only small groups allowed.

Enjoy one of the most exiting tours in Mexico visiting two of the most iconic and most visit cities nearby Mexico City: Cuernavaca and Taxco.

Beginning with "the City of Eternal Spring", in Cuernavaca, you will be able to appreciate the set of buildings that make up the cathedral of Cuernavaca, one of the first and the oldest on the continent, as well as the Palacio de Cortes.

Later we will go to a town nestled in a mountain, Taxco, capital of silver; a place where, in addition to extracting this valuable mineral for more than 4 centuries, you will be able to appreciate the ingenuity and creativity of the silver handcraft masters of Mexico, applied to sculptures, jewels, and a wide variety of utensils, all framed in a magic town that still retains the colonial charm for more than 200 years.

Great tour! Hilarious tour guide Carlos- lots of colorful personal commentary. Feel free to be proactive over what spots you want to see during the tour. Lunch might be on the later side so plan to bring snacks.

Taxco excursion
arn538, 08-08-2022
Visiting Taxco was a wonderful trip. The weather for this trip was great and conducive for walking and exploring the locations that we went to. My only criticism of the trip is that the guide provided very good information but he interjected his own personal views into the narrative that sometimes seemed inappropriate.
Great day tour
Sniddiej, 08-10-2022
Took a solo trip as only non spanish speaker (total 7 people, which was great) The guide made sure I wasn't forgotten. Very fun and friendly guide which made sure everybody was happy. We did the trip on a Friday which lead a bit to bad traffic, so assume you will be a full day occupied, But the weather and the views where stunning on the way.
