Julio, our guide was awesome. He knew the city gave us a lot of history and really took care of us. We were on a seven day Mexican Riviera cruise and had three powers of call. without a doubt this was the highlight of our trip. We disembark the ship walked towards the meeting location and there was Julio with the sign with our name on it. He was the first one that I could see. There must’ve been 50 others, but Julio was upfront and made it super simple. I 100 percent would do this tour again he was very informative. Took us to the Cliff divers shopping and recommended a food place after the tour.

We had a great time at the ranch. We had the best driver/escort to the ranch from the cruise port. We got to sample all their tequilas; which were delicious. Then we got to go on the hour trail ride around the ranch and on to the beach. The trails are well maintained and the horses were well behaved. Once back we were treated to a yummy lunch and fresh lemonade. Highly recommend!

It was amazing but our only disappointment was the desriptions of each show was only spoken in Spanish. Wish it could have been translated to English

Our guide and driver were very accomodating throughout the trip. We had a fun day in Taxco and Cuernavaca. 🙌

It was advertised as 11 zip lines but you only ride 9.
