Great Experience with Andrea & Gabriel

Great tour in Puebla with Andrea & Gabriel We had a wonderful experience with our guide Andrea and driver Gabriel. Everything was well organized, comfortable, and stress-free. Andrea is knowledgeable and friendly, and Gabriel is a professional, safe driver. They showed us Ex Hacienda, Rancho de Lavanda, Val’Quirico, the lavender fields, and Katlin’s city. Each place was beautiful and well explained. Highly recommend Andrea and Gabriel to anyone visiting Puebla!

Unforgettable!

The history is so interesting to know about ex hacienda, the lavender farm was by far my favourite! I made my own soap, tried the bread and lavender tea, then finally came to the famous Val’Quirico. No words can describe the feeling of getting lost in the streets of this beautiful town/plaza! Alexa, my tour guide was kind, informative and just lovely! Our driver, whose name I forget was amazing as well. Such an amazing experience! I recommend it 100%

It is very easy to paddle in the lake... different from when you paddle in rivers... you can take beautiful pictures

The lake and castle in the exhacienda is beautiful, surrounded by greenery, the guides super friendly. Valkyrie is very nice.

Magnificent

Ideally arrive before 11 am, it gets very congested to climb to the top of the exhacienda. What yes, is that the place is divine, thinking about going to look at the building would be a mistake. The hotel is amazing.

Hola Miguel Muchas gracias por tu comentario. Agradecemos tu tiempo y ojala podamos compartir más aventuras por Puebla. Saludos Equipo Unlimited

Nice place

The place is small but they have interesting activities and the food is rich. It is more of a contemplation site that is used as a setting for photos of quinceañeras and weddings.
