This excursion was definitely worth taking! Both our driver and our guide, Andres, were very kind and communicative. The drive was long, but we had a quick stop halfway in Cuernavaca, where we enjoyed breakfast and a local church. We arrived in Taxco with a mission to purchase some beautiful silver jewelry, and the stores did not disappoint! The beginning of the tour starts with the usual affiliated store. We listened to a quick story about the store and the silver mines, and were offered a mezcal drink. The group was to have lunch after that, but my friend, daughter and I decided to explore on our own. We went to several silver jewelry stores, saw the magnificent cathedral, and had lunch with a view in a nice restaurant. All in all it was a beautiful day. I would recommend this trip if you are in the market to shop for silver in a picturesque setting.

I was a last minute guest who signed up about an hour before pickup. I had deliberated on several trip options the night before and reached out to Viator customer service who promptly replied to my email requests on two different trips, including sending links to sign up. The next morning I signed up, immediately the tour agent contacted me and confirmed my trip. I asked if it were possible, if convenient, to get a pick up at no charge. It was confirmed and they gave me a timeframe. Pickup went smoothly. The trip was in a comfortable van with AC and with 7 other passengers. The entire trip was well done in both Spanish and English. Tour guide was organized and gave historical context to the sites. We had time to shop, stopped for bathroom/snacks (on your own expense) on the way to Cuernavaca. Lunch was late afternoon at a nice restaurant (not included in price). The driver was exceptional. He drove safely and knew the roads well. His skilled driving saved us time on the return to CDMX which was nice after a long day trip. The trip itself was very reasonably priced. Tips not included, and the guide and driver well deserved acknowledgment for a job well done. I will use Viator again for excursions and recommend this trip. There is uphill walking on slick cobblestones and long drive to destinations, so keep in mind.
