“Saw everything promised with few exceptions in our Central Mexico tour. Traffic in Mexico City delayed things enough that we didn't get more than a drive-by of the Cortez palace in Cuernavaca, spent all our time on the cathedral visit there. An overnight in Taxco would have made that long day more fulfilling, with more time to spend investigating the byways of the town. Our guide/drivers, all of them, were aggressive but competent on the road, and comfortably bilingual. My wife speaks Spanish, and talked animatedly with other passengers in the vans. After a long journey through the south end of Mexico City we were delighted with the utter change…”

13.Garibaldi by Night – Mexico City

“The tour was good and the tour guide 'Gabriel' was very good. Although, my friend left her pashmina (scarf) on the back seat of the minibus, but when we contacted GYG and Mexitours we were advised they didn't find it. This is very odd as we were a small group of 6 people and there were no other tours after ours that evening. So it seems it was stolen by someone, maybe the cleaning team!”
