Excellent Tour and Tour guide!

ericinmexicocity, 05-01-2023

A very well organized and guided tour. The experience was in both English and Spanish, and our guide Alicia was knowledgeable, funny, and considerate. I even met a family on the tour who was taking it a second time bc they liked it so much. Certainly recommend this to first time visitors to Mexico who want a more immersed, examined, and unique view of non-city life.

Amazing Guide, Amazing Views!

I have taken dozens of tours in my life time and I have to say - Alicia was the best tour guides I have ever had! She is perfectly fluent in both English and Spanish and goes above and beyond to treat her group with respect and kindness. Not only is her genuine enthusiasm apparent when it comes to interacting with people, but she was just as excited as we were about Mexico's culture and history. We learned a lot from her on this tour and she was able to field every question we threw her way.
Taxco was a beautiful town. I liked walking around and learning more about different eras of Mexican history. Cuernavaca was a smart stop on the way. It felt like a quick drive! I recommend this trip if you have a day to spare!

It was amazing but I would have preferred the whole time in Taxco than going to Cuernavaca in the morning

It was a great one day tour to Taxco, we really liked it so much. Thanks to George and Jair, who were our driver and gide. The service was excellent and the tour was very interesting. Taxco is a beautiful town worth visiting. Highly recommended!

Nice trip. Better to have your coffee in Cuernavaca

Very comfortable van, bring your phone cable to keep your phone or tablet charged. Alicia very knowledgeable provided info in both English and Spanish. Taxsco is very picturesque. Would have liked more time in Cuernavaca. The 1st stop after a very short ride was at a filling station with convenience store for breakfast, lasted 30 minutes. Recommend company to skip this stop and use time in Cuernavaca for coffee and breakfast. This would give Cuernavaca a little more time and support local businesses.
Highly recommended
Meeting location at hostel amigo is short walk from zocalo metro station
