“Long story short - book yourselves 2 days to explore these places and use local transportation, the tour is not worth it. This is advertised as a 10h tour, don't be fooled - we spent an hour picking people up all around CDMX (other tours only offer 1-2 pickup spots, clearly this would be way more efficient), I was the first pickup so I had a 12 hour day! We also waited for 45 mins for late people following our free time, we ended up leaving them thank goodness, but they need to make that call way sooner. They showed up 70 minutes late and somehow arranged a ride home…”

Also to get fruits from the local vendors. Then we went to Taxco ! OMG this place is one of the kind , full of history, little shops, restaurants and many other things. Overall a great experience.
