Taxco is a really amazing place, and this is a nice way to get there from CDMX, I'd recommend going on this tour purely to get to Taxco and back in a day if you're strapped for time. We visited Cuernavaca fairly briefly on the way for a look at the cathedral, and didn't see anything else of the town. There were some midway stops at service stations on the way there and back which were very welcome, as it's a long drive. The restaurant we went to for lunch in had a great view out over Taxco with fairly average food but not too expensive. Taxco is famous for silver, and you get taken to not just one but two silver shops, where you are given a shot of tequila, and one of the shops you get physically locked in for a good 20 mins(!) - I found this really annoying personally, but in all fairness other people did buy some silver. Our driver drove like a demon around some of the mountain corners which was slightly unnerving at times but luckily there was never anything unexpected on the other

Amazing tour and the best I've ever seen. Taxco was more beautiful than I could have imagined. Frank was the best guide and Pablo was the best driver you could ever get and made it very special for us. Thanks!

El tour es una maravilla, el guía excelente, lo único q no me gustó es q el conductor se la pasó comiendo pepitas y me daba temor se distrajera al buscar la pepita y luego buscar el vasito en q depositaba las cáscaras
