Terrible tour
The instructor was very good, knew a lot about history. The driver very careful. However, the route was terrible, Cuernavaca 3 churches close together and that's it, no more than 1 hour. We did not know its streets, nor its most important churches. Terrible Taxco. They take places of interest to them, supposedly mine (horrible) silver, extremely expensive, they invent a discount that in the end is still expensive. Then for lunch, the church (interesting explanation from the instructor) from the beginning they tell us that we have two hours, then one for lunch and we left and they took us to another silver shop of interest to them (none wanted to go) they left us only one hour to know. I really don't recommend it
Response from the operator: Hola Ivonne S Gracias por tomarse el tiempo de compartir su experiencia con nosotros, lamento que no haya pasado un buen día, en Cuernavaca tenemos mencionado que la duración es de aproximadamente 45 minutos Referente a Taxco enviare sus comentarios para mejorar esta parte. Espero a pesar de la experiencia haya disfrutado del recorrido Saludos

Look for another tour this is not worth it
Hi the tour was not what we expected The guide just took us to cuernavaca to one street of the city , no explanations where given In Taxco they just immediately took us to a shop instead of taking us to sight seen in the city Again they did not have any info or knowledge regarding the place At the time of lunch they forgot to include us in the list of those who paid for it so we had to contact them after we were forced to pay , so that they could reimburse us. They did But simply it is not what they advertised. Look for another option !!!
Response from the operator: Hello Yojeved. We are really sorry for the lunch misuderstanding and we will take give your comments to the operator to aovid this problems in the future. Kind Regards

Primarily a Taxco Tour
This tour is advertised as a “Cuernavaca and Taxco” tour but was really a Taxco tour plus a 45 minute stopover in Cuernavaca. I booked because I wanted to see murals and the palace/fort in Cuernavaca, but the palace was closed. We saw only the church. I suggested going to a nearby waterfall (Cascada de Anton) but the guide said we did not have enough time. Luckily, Taxco was a much better experience. We had lots of time to explore Taxco and the restaurant chosen by the tour had a spectacular view. My tour guide, Ursula, was great. (December 2020)
Response from the operator: Dear Matthew We really appreciate all your comments, we are reviewing our tour description so it could be more accurate, we are glad that you enjoy the time in Taxco and the Restaurant. We hope to see you soon!

Crazy drive and a horrible meal.
The tour guide was entertaining and very knowledgeable we liked her very much. The driver was like most drivers in Mexico , he drove a bit too fast and too close to the other cars we had a few near misses on the drive too and from our location. The stop in Cuernavaca was too quick. The tour guide explained that a local silver baron built a huge house directly in front of the cathedral that we visited and that the house was now a museum. It was a very interesting bit of history that was important to the two cities we were visiting but yet we had no time to visit. I’d argue that the house would of been a better stop than the cathedral. On the drive to Tacxo our driver was shook down for money at a closed toll station. The driver was told to give money or we would not be allowed to pass all this was done in eyesight of a police officer! Unbelievable, we were told that this was normal. While in Tacxo we were led into a restaurant for lunch. I had not paid for lunch so I assumed I would be able to go to a restaurant of my choice, I was wrong. At the restaurant we were given a menu with only two meal choices. I didn’t think much of eat until the table next to me received the regular menu with numerous choices. The meal was horrible! Literally the worst meal I’ve had in Mexico and I’ve lived here for three months!!
Response from the operator: Dear Christopher, We appreciate your review to help us provide a better service, we are sorry you had a bad experience, we will ask our drivers to drive more carefully next time, we will take into consideration your opinion about including the explanation of the Baron´s House on our tour. Regarding your meal, our drivers only suggest our local cuisine but if you don´t have the lunch included, you are free to go to any restaurant of your choice. We hope to see you again soon, and improve your experience in Mexico!

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Taxco the silver town with stop in Cuernavaca: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Taxco the silver town with stop in Cuernavaca cost?
+
Prices start at $30 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 the silver town with stop in Cuernavaca 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 the silver town with stop in Cuernavaca worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 17 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 the silver town with stop in Cuernavaca?
+
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 the silver town with stop in Cuernavaca 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 the silver town with stop in Cuernavaca?
+
Around 6 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 the silver town with stop in Cuernavaca 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.
