One-day experience, highly recommended!
Absolutely fantastic trip tour guide Alavaro was excellent throughout and also the driver was decent especially with all the traffic and an incident that happened on the roads. The cities and excursions were excellent and the guide explained everything in depth and made everyone welcome and helped my freinds with mobility issues too a must if you visit CDMX 10/10.
Jonathan was our guide and he was very attentive and explained the culture and its importance to Mexico very well. It was a nice adventure and we had time to discover things on our own.
We went on this experience with Marianna as our guide we loved both our guide and driver on the trip. She has a lot of knowledge and was able to answer any question we had! She made the trip a lot of fun. Her English and Spanish are both very clear. If you are an English speaker she is the guide for you! Very personable with great recommendations as well! Definitely recommend this trip! You have to take it if you are visiting Mexico City!
A beautiful tour, you get to know not only the places but also their history and curiosities of the places we visited, Jonathan, the guide, was always very kind and clear with the presentations, highly recommended
Had an awesome time on the Puebla–Cholula tour with Jonathan. He kept everything fun, relaxed, and super informative. You can tell he really loves the history and culture—he explained things in a way that made the whole experience feel special, not just like another tour. Great vibes, great spots, and a guide who actually cares. Highly recommend booking with Jonathan.
A must-see tour for those who visit Mexico City, as it allows you to know a completely different city profile. In addition, the Mariana guide is excellent, very friendly, attentive and patient, always explaining and removing doubts about each point of the script. The tour is a bit busy, because there are many attractions in the cities.
The vehicle was extremely cramped. The guide was ok . No tips on puebla was given. Cholula was explained well.
