This full-day excursion combines a guided tour of Taxco, providing history and facts about the Silver City with free time for you to explore the city and check out the beautiful silver jewelry in the afternoon.

Alexandra, our guide, was fantastic! She is so nice and professional, well versed also in English :) Our driver’s also good in what he’s doing, even if the trip consists of twisty roads, we felt safe and they were able to pick us up in exact time. We were only 10 in the group so the transportation van is comfortable. Food in the buffet wasnt that great tho but it’s okay it’s still decent :) We enjoyed the whole tour, Taxco is so beautiful and the drive going to the locations is so relaxing. I would definitely go back and book through get your guide :)

This was one of the best things I did in Mexico. If I were you, I would take the tour bus (which concludes the day in Taxco) and stay overnight in this beautiful city for at least a couple of days. It reminded me of Monaco, near the French Riviera, with the beautiful town escaping into the mountains and the winding streets. One thing on that - definitely wear shoes that are good for walking! Going anywhere in the town is very winding and you will get your exercise. The city was gorgeous and my guide was great my only regret was not staying longer.
