Excellent
Very good talk by the guide, he was on time for us, everything well explained, I loved the tour, I recommend it
Response from the operator: Muchas gracias por tu comentario, y que bueno saber que lo disfrutaron, los esperamos pronto!

It may be better
The destinations are magical but the recommended restaurant in Taxco is not the best. It is also not very comfortable that with the excuse of learning from the extraction of silver you will be locked to buy things. Good guide with good command of the subject
Response from the operator: Gracias por tus importantes comentarios, importante que el guia haya hecho una buena explicacion, a veces al ser tour grupal los pasan a comer a buffet para que sea mas rapido y sobre todo en temporada pico de formula 1 y Dia de Muertos, los restaurantes a la carta es imposible poder salir temprano, es la razon para pasar por una breve explicaciom y hacer un buffet que nos agiliza la operacion en dia de temporada alta. Esperamos se lleve la mejor impresion del tour a pesar de los detalles Saludos!

Very poor service.
Azteca failed to come and pick us up as per agreement with the company driver/guide. They claimed that they were coming at 8:20AM versus the time slot of 9AM pickup. We just learned that they were already outside of the hotel where we were. Accordingly, they sent us a message which we never got until we got their phone call.
Response from the operator: Estimado pasajero nosotros Confirmamos la hora de Pick Up previamente incluso usted contestó confirmando por mensaje directo de esta misma plataforma El día de la salida mis compañeros lo estuvieron esperando más de 20 minutos y cuando usted salió dijo que tenía una cita médica Justo a la hora del tour no podíamos esperar lo más tiempo se le avisó acorde a las políticas de la empresa. Lamentamos mucho la situación sin embargo el servicio estaba listo a la hora que se aviso previamente e incluso usted habló con el guía físicamente y aun asi no quiso tomar el tour Es una lástima que usted ponga este comentario cuando fue usted mismo el que no quiso tomar el Tour porque tenía una cita médica y no se hizo responsable de su confirmación de pick up

Beautiful Taxco
It was a pleasant and enjoyable trip. Our gide very knowledgeable and our driver very safe. The restaurant I give 3.5 stars but it's expected for turists. I recommend this tour to everyone.

Awful experience…choose another tour
This entire experience was not great. We were picked up last (45 mins late) and had to sit in the far back of the “luxury” van. Our first stop was Cuernavaca and when we exited, I requested we rotate seats as the back row was exceptionally uncomfortable for a 6’1” person. Our guide, Ursula, told to ask someone to switch and it wasn’t her problem. Needless to say, no one would switch and we spent over 5 hours cramped up in the back of the van. This was booked as ab English trip but at no stop did anyone speak English, only Spanish. Cuernavaca and Taxco were just opportunities to sell crap to tourists, we didn’t see any of the city or the major sights. Such a waste of time and money. Avoid this one !!!
Response from the operator: We are very sorry about the trip, unfortunately It was the peak season of turists in México because of the F1 and Dia de Muertos that is why the vans were full and therr were delays. It is important to say most of turists like the tour because is visiting a small town of México.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Taxco and Cuernavaca Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Taxco and Cuernavaca Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $45 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 Taxco and Cuernavaca Tour take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Taxco and Cuernavaca Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 19 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 Taxco and Cuernavaca Tour?
+
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 Taxco and Cuernavaca Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Taxco and Cuernavaca Tour?
+
Around 7 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Taxco and Cuernavaca Tour 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 Frida Kahlo VIP [Museum Tickets Included] Walk, Markets & Churros, Local Foodie Adventure CDMX: Tacos & more with Sherpa Food Tours, Mexico City Historical Centre Food Tour with 7 Tastings & Drinks. 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.
