I took the Taxco and Cuernavaca on the first day. It was good both the driver and the guide were friendly and funny. Then for the second day I showed up for the meeting point and there was no one there. When they arrived they told me that tour was not available until Friday. I was told I will get a refund since I will not be here anymore by Friday.

Enjoyed our trip to Cholula and Puebla. Beautiful cities, we got an extra bonus by visiting a nearby church affected by the last earthquake. The views of Popocatepel Volcano are stunning. We pass in front of the Volkswagen Plant in Puebla. Very impressive. The other day, we went to Cuernavaca andTaxco. As a extra bonus, we visited the formerly Cantinflas House, now a restaurant. Taxco is far away, abut 3 hours drive, so be prepare. Thanks Amigo Tours for make our trip very enjoyable.

I can highly recommend both tours. Amigo Tours offered very good service and very competent tour guides for a fair price.
Both tours gave very good insights into the county and the four different locations.
I would have preferred one hour more in both first stops Cholula and Cuernavaca to have more things there. Time on both locations was too short.

The tours destinations are good to see.
Bad Point: Amigo tours uses glorified city buses.
They had no A/C on buses I took on 3 of 4 different tour dates
Most days were 85 degrees +.
Taxco was 5 hr bus ride in 100 degree heat.
NO A/C !!!
Amigo Tours cares little about customers.

The experience was very different both days as the first guide was terrible. He didn't speak english, was not knowledgeable and organized stops very badly.
The worst was the lack of AC in the bus both days in 30 degree C temperatures. Taxco and Puebla are amazing! They picked us up from our hotel.
