Take a full-day trip out of Mexico City to admire Taxco, a unique colonial town famous for its silver works.

Taxco is a colonial city with thousands of years of history. There, you will visit one of the most beautiful churches of Mexico, Santa Prisca; built-in 1759 by the French immigrant José de la Borda; who literally ran into a huge amount of silver.

Visit an ancient pre-Hispanic mine, explore it and discover the mysteries it has kept for hundreds of years.

Taxco is known for its silver mines and quality stores. You will have the opportunity to visit a silver workshop, see and purchase works of art made by Mexican artisans.

Incredible tour, I went with my mother, we had a great time. We thank the guide Alicia, who was very pleasant in her explanations, and the driver, Rafael. The center of Cuernavaca is very beautiful and, not to mention Taxco, from the moment you arrive you are struck by its view, the sale of silver, the typical dish that is the pink mole and the pre-Hispanic mine.

Beautiful town to visit🙌🏼
The guide was very clear with his explanations. We learned a lot.
However, things to improve: it is a 6-hour trip to go and return and they took us in a new but very very small van, since the day before we had traveled with the same company to a closer place and with a much larger bus and confortable. We were overcrowded, and forget about buying any souvenirs in town because there was no space to take them back to the city.
At the same time, we did not feel safe on the route because we were constantly exceeding the speed limit.
Finally, upon arriving in the city they dropped us off at a place further away than agreed, claiming that the streets were closed, which we could see was not real when we got off.
The town is beautiful but the experience with the service provider was not the best.

We started the trip over 30 minutes late. We stopped at a petrol station for 30 min before we even left CDMX, which resulted in getting stuck in traffic. The time in Cuernavaca was very rushed and short, and we only got to see the main church. We spent most of the time on the bus stuck in traffic.

We were left a little underwhelmed on our visit to Taxco. It’s a pretty colonial town, but I still haven’t decided if it was worth the long drive. We felt crammed and hot in the van that transported us so this very much made the drive in traffic uncomfortable . Our tour guide Andres was great and we had the opportunity to do be on a second tour with him. I’m not itching to go back to Taxco like I am Puebla.

I've done many trips with your company over the 2 years I keep coming back to this amazing country . I've not had a bad experience. A bus broke down , stuck in some traffic. These are the realities of real life and I'd never dream of knocking the company for those sort of things.
However. I have to say all of the guides have been really good but, Robin is exceptionally brilliant. He's super friendly . And so knowledgeable and so passionate. I had him take us to san Miguel de Allende and he was brilliant. But this Taxco trip was really good . I thoroughly enjoyed everything.

It was the highlight of my trip to Mexico. I had always wanted to see the church of Santa Prisca in person and it did not disappoint. The main altar is one of the finest example of Mexican Churrigueresque. It is a sight to behold! Taxco is a lovely colonial town. May be it is worth spending a night or two in this town and see its magical charm at night as our guide told us.
