Interliv Travel

  One of the best tour I ever take.
Super enjoyable, amazing attention, well guided, awesome and magical place.
As soon as we get in to the van everything... read more works perfect.
Tony the guide super funny and kind. Easy to buy it, easy to get into.
Definitely the best option.

  We were picked up on time in a nice van and then spent the next three hours picking up additional passengers and traveling to our destination. Just a reality... read more of traffic in this large city. My disappointment lay in the fact that our tour guide’s English was inadequate to enlighten us regarding most of the landmarks we were passing or to give us much of a glimpse into the history or cultural identity of her city. She was enthusiastic, polite and a thoroughly nice young woman. She was not, however, fluent enough in English to host a group of twelve, primarily, English speaking tourists for a seven hour tour in which four of those hours were spent in a small bus.

  The service was provided according to expectations, time, organization and length of stay in both places was perfect.

  We just saw the ballet last weekend. It was fantastic. The added surprise was that it was outside at the castle, which we did not know when we... read more purchased the tickets. The music, the colors and the ballet was absolutely worth it! The show was great and we would recommend anyone see the ballet if you have the opportunity.

  Pros - You get to see Taxco, which is about 180 km away with USD 51. (was on discount when I bought it) The place they take you to purchase... read more silver is pretty decent imo. I saw a few reviews about that place in google review that their products are overpriced, but it was not entirely true. They sell unique pieces of jewelry, and some pieces were more expensive in the town center. (i.e., silver owl, silver skull, etc.)

Cons - Late. The tour was supposed to start at 8:30 per Viator details, but we took off CDMX past 10 AM. They group Spanish speaking tourists and English speaking tourists together, which causes some difficulty as you can imagine. The tour itself felt somewhat disorganized, and the information you get from the guide is minimal, but this was understandable because he had to cover two separate groups. It felt more like GPS service than a guide service. We arrived at Taxco past 1 PM, spent about an hour at the store. The driver drops you off De Los Plateros street, and you take a short walk to the town center. We arrived at Zocalo, Taxco around 3PM. Finally, we got to eat lunch. Visited the cathedral around 4:40 PM after a (unnecessarily) lengthy lunch, and then basically, you are on your own until 6:10PMish. We got to Cuernavaca past 8 PM, so it was pretty much dark. Saw the cathedral about 20 mins and back on the road. I got back to my hotel at 10:40 PM. I didn't have time to eat dinner until then.

If you want to visit Taxco and buy some silver, go for it. If you want a more organized tour, go and come back at a reasonable time, look for another company, or do a private tour.

  I have traveled to 50+ cities around the globe, and I Taxco to be one of the most amazing places. It is magical!

As far as this trip... read more is concerned, I could do without the Cuernavaca detour. Instead I would rather spend more time exploring the glorious alleys and corners and plazas of Taxco.

The operation of the tour was a mixed bag. There was no point spending two hours at lunch. Instead they should have taken us to the city center, given us the opportunity to chose our own lunch venue and lunch choices.

The guides were good and knowledgeable. The local guide was also good and passionate about Taxco and its glory. The hotel pickup worked very well. The drive was professional. Communication with the tour operator also worked well.

I would choose the tour operator and Tripadvisor again in future as needed.

  This museum is indoor / outdoor with a beautiful courtyard and so many beautiful artworks, including some of Frida’s clothes and undergarments she wore under them after her unfortunate accident.... read more Beautifully curated and flows perfectly.

Make sure to bring a few pesos so you can get a sticker giving you rights to take photos, you’ll be glad you did.

  La Guia, Monse, fue magnifica. El Chofer, Francisco, muy amable.
The tour was Excelet. Monse the guide, was superb. I recommend this company and I will use it them again... read more when I go back to CDMX

  Too much people (12 tourists + 1 guide + 1 driver) in the van for 12 people.
Wasting time at "home craft produtcs" places.

  Saturday December 7th. Guide Monse.
They picked us up on time and managed to add a late starter without issue. However instead of the published itinerary they did their own... read more thing.
We completely missed the UNAM Biblioteca Central missing the Diego Rivera murals. We only had about 30 min in Coyacan - enough time to see the Church but not the guides walking tour advertised. We did Xochimilco 2nd last wich meant we didn't have lunch until after 2pm.
They added in a silver and souvenir tourist trap at the start and the Museo Anahuacalli at the end which had some R.D. sketches of murals it wasn't what was promised.
I enjoyed what we did but I'm disappointed we didn't get what we paid for.

  There are much, much nicer museums than this. Like The National Museum of art downtown (Centro Historico) Dolores Olmedo museum, Soumaya.

If you like Frida an abused woman... read more who loved being the victim of a pompous narcissist although he was a genius artist Diego Rivera you may like it. Not my thing. I do not even know how she's a "feminist" icon. The woman suffered from Stockholm Syndrome. Feminists do not put up with abusive men.
