Our tour guide was phenomenal! Alvaro went above and beyond to ensure everyone on the tour had a great time. He went out of his way to help me in every way possible and was extremely knowledgeable about the history of Taxco.
Our tour in Taxco was excellent! Our guide, Angel, was friendly, knowledgeable, and incredibly helpful throughout the day. He translated everything for us, making it easy to understand and enjoy the experience. His passion for the history and culture of Taxco really made the tour special. Highly recommended!
The trip to Taxco was the highlight. A very real pueblo mágico, with exceptional people who know how to treat tourism. I personally quit the tour guide in Taxco, because we wanted to spend more time shopping and eating at the Angel Inn. So we skipped the offered lunch, mine tour, and spent it on eating and shopping.
Cuernavaca, like Taxco, are truly beautiful, mystical, magical cities, and I am completely satisfied with this tour. Where it should improve is that I bought the tour that includes lunch; upon arriving at the restaurant, I ordered fish that was on the menu for us, but it was very salty, so I ended up eating a salad and some chicken quickly because we had to meet the time indicated by the guide. As for the guide Paco, he was a very good guide, just like the driver Antonio.
The most beautiful place near Mexico City!
I booked with friend tours; the guide had a lot of knowledge, but the explanations were too long, which made us lose time to explore and get to know the sites. I would have preferred less time on the explanations and more time to enjoy the places.
Awesome 🤘🏻, thanks for the Guide for the Patience with us. We arrived a Little Bit earlier in the morning
Very good experience as always, the guide Omar very attentive and friendly at all times, was very pleasant the visit to Taxco. As always highly recommended the operator
I was really surprised about how beautiful Taxco was. Omar took us on a beautifully orated tour of this gem of a town. Visiting Cuernavaca was an added bonus. Most visitors to Mexico visit the coast cities and would never give a thought to visit these Pueblo Magicos like Taxco which is a shame. Hopefully the word gets out so more people will get to appreciate these beautiful towns.
We only took the transport to Taxco, however, as soon as we got off the guide we were introduced to a person who would take us to the city center, because he said it was part of the safety of the tour. Of course the intention was that we would engage the services of that person. We really didn't like the way the guide insisted, we felt they just wanted to take money out of us. On the other hand in Cuernavaca we were given time to travel we were left with an appointed time, there were people who took a long time and we had to wait until they arrived. The guide didn't say anything and I found it disrespectful wait 30 minutes, being that we could have taken advantage of knowing more.
