Ulysses was a very...
Ulysses was a very friendly and knowledgeable guide. The sights were very interesting and surprising in their appearance. The caves were a particular highlight.

Great tour, wonderful guide
Our guide Ulises was terrific, knowledgeable and very friendly. The tour was well balanced with the wonder of the caves in the morning and the exquisite town of Taxco in the afternoon. We had an excellent mid-day meal which was recommended by Ulises. He was interesting, engaging and translated as needed during the cave tour. All in all, a great day. Cannot recommend it highly enough. Maria & Scott

Subterranean wonders
Moderate level of activity with walking with a bit humidity inside grottos. Designed illumination highlights nature's breathtaking wonders.

Worth the trip.
My partner and I had a fantastic time on this tour. The guide Ulises has been the best guide we have had in Mexico. Very friendly and a wealth of knowledge. He was able to answer pretty much any question we could come up with. The cave was amazing to see and Taxco is definitely worth seeing. Such a unique landscape. The lunch location had beautiful views but it was definitely priced for tourists. Overall I would highly recommend.
Response from the operator: Dear client, Thank you so much for your feedback, we are glad that you enjoyed your tour, your comments help us to keep improving for you to have outstanding experiences. Hope to meet you again in Mexico real soon!

Exceptional day tour to the Cacahuamilpa Caves and Taxco
Ulises was a wonderful driver and guide for the day trip. He kept constantly aware of how we were doing and ensured we were enjoying ourselves, and shared a lot of nice information about our destinations. We did not feel pressured or hurried at any time during the day.

Cacahuamilpa Caves and Taxco: Private & Small Groups From Mexico City: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Cacahuamilpa Caves and Taxco: Private & Small Groups From Mexico City cost?
+
Prices start at $177 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mexico City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cacahuamilpa Caves and Taxco: Private & Small Groups From Mexico City take?
+
Plan for about 11 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mexico City is not rushed.
Is Cacahuamilpa Caves and Taxco: Private & Small Groups From Mexico City worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 55 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cacahuamilpa Caves and Taxco: Private & Small Groups From Mexico City?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cacahuamilpa Caves and Taxco: Private & Small Groups From Mexico City suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 11-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cacahuamilpa Caves and Taxco: Private & Small Groups From Mexico City?
+
Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mexico City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mexico City and add a light layer if any part of the 11-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cacahuamilpa Caves and Taxco: Private & Small Groups From Mexico City start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mexico City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mexico City?
+
On Outty we rank every Mexico City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Teotihuacan 3 Pyramids Tour + Hotel Pick Up + Lunch at La Gruta, Historic Center Essentials: Mexico City Downtown Walking Tour, PREMIUM Frida Kahlo Museum and Xochimilco (Small Groups). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mexico City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mexico City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
