Incredible Puebla

The destination is amazing, offering a lot of culture and gastronomy; it is incredible to see the church of Santa María Tonanzintla, like no other church. The center of Puebla is very beautiful, and along with its cathedral and streets, it makes for a very pleasant corner of Mexico, with plenty of restaurants, hotels, and tours. Optimal recommendation for visiting with family or on a solo getaway....

Great experience

Gabriela was amazing! She made the tour very much enjoyable and personable. She went above and beyond to make us feel at home. Although, the drive can feel long, it's a great opportunity to get out of the city and enjoy the mexican views. Puebla is a beautiful state with lots to offer.

Great Tour

This tour was great! Most of the people in our group spoke Spanish, but the guide still explained everything in English for us. He also answered all our questions in great detail, which was really helpful. We had about 90 minutes at the pyramid, which was totally enough. It’s just a bit disappointing that the tunnel was still closed. The included meal was pretty standard for a day tour in Mexico, so don’t expect anything too fancy or delicious. Since I was traveling solo, I really appreciated how friendly the other group members were. They helped me take pictures, and even the tour guide did too! Overall, I’m really happy I joined this tour, and it was lovely meeting some group members from Colombia!

Operator response

Rushed Tour

Our tour guide did not let us look around Cholula or Puebla. The trip felt rushed and some were complaining because he didn't let us roam around. Most tour guides have a meeting point to meet back at a certain time to let the tourist shop or sightseeing but not this tour guide. Some people still roamed around as he showed us a 5th Church and he said next time we roam around like that he will move on and we can take another bus because he will not wait for us.

I really liked the attention they gave us, everything was great

The chapel of the rosary has an incredible view and makes you see the great dimension that has cholula, where you see most of the churches that it has, its style of each of them and that makes them differentiate from each other.
