Great tour in Cholula/Talavera

We were visiting Puebla and the area for the first time. We wanted to see as much as possible during our visit. This tour gave us a wonderful overview of Cholula and Talavera. A couple of our favorite stops were the Talavera ceramic factory and the pyramid ruins. Juan Pablo was our guide - he was patient, friendly and knowledgeable. We visited many sights at a good pace and felt that this tour was the best way to see the area. We were picked up at our hotel in a comfortable van with a very nice driver.
