From Mexico City: 10-Hour Cuernavaca and Taxco Tour

3.10-Hour Cuernavaca and Taxco Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 133 reviews · 10 - 12 hours · from $60

Travel from Mexico City to Cuernavaca and Taxco with a bilingual guide, visiting a 16th-century cathedral complex and Santa Prisca’s ornate church. You’ll have time for Taxco’s cobbled streets and silver shops, though Cuernavaca gets a shorter visit. Pickup is available at selected hotels and meeting points.

“We were the only ones on this tour. The only thing that did not go well is that we could not figure out how to add one more person at the very last minute, since GetYourGuide would not allow us to book for one person at a time and we had a group of five. So only four of us ended up going. We left at 9.15-9.20AM and came back around 8.40-9PM. They could not pick us up from a private residence (AirBnB) so we had to come to a meeting place, which was only 20 minutes walking away. We spend about an hour in Cuernavaca before heading to Taxco…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 58 reviews · 7 days (approx.) · from $685

Spend six nights in Mexico City and use it as a base for guided trips to Teotihuacan, Xochimilco, Cuernavaca, Taxco, Puebla and Cholula. The package includes breakfast, two lunches and airport transfers. Guides such as Eduardo, Miguel and Humberto have led tours here, though your guide may vary. Expect long drives, changing schedules and a busy week.

“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…”

The second-day route details conflict about whether the final destination is Taxco or Puebla, so confirm the plan before booking.

“Pyramids: the pryamids was by far the best experience. Our tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable and passionate on Mexican history. We learned a great deal. Mexitours, who organized everything, was professional and responsive to our needs. We purchased the plan that included lunch which we felt was a good idea. Taxco and Cuernavaca: our tour guide was exceptional, especially as he transitioned from Spanish to English. He was full of enthusiasm and a great story teller. We enjoyed seeing parts of Mexico that we would not see on our own and the churches and points of interest were very informative and beautiful. However, the one thing that we found off…”
