El Pasaje Histórico 5 de Mayo es una obra hidráulica construida entre 1531 y 1604 conocida como caz o acequia maestra. Su función principal fue dotar de agua las huertas, así como dar movimiento a las norias de los molinos establecidos en los márgenes del río San Francisco. Esta obra, al igual que una importante red de sistemas de riego, quedó en desuso cuando los cultivos se fueron alejando del centro debido al crecimiento de la ciudad. Con el abandono, la presa que le abastecía desapareció y sus accesos se tapiaron quedando casi en el olvido. La acequia maestra pasó así a formar parte de una leyenda que habla de túneles con usos desconocidos, que recorren la ciudad por el subsuelo comunicando a sus principales edificios. En 2011, durante la construcción de un paso a desnivel, fue descubierto el desfogue que tenía en el cauce del Río San Francisco, develando una importante parte de la historia de Puebla.
This is a beautiful neighborhood where artist have their studios, exhibit and sell their arte.

Excellent for getting to know Puebla, the trip was amazing.
A nice trip only one hour and it did take you to the museum area and with a nice view of the city .Buy the tickets at the main square for 120 pesos about $8 Cdn and don’t pay the $20 Cdn Viator charges..
Unfortunately our tour was cancelled since there was too much traffic . There was also no warning about this and no refund. We had to make up our own tour . The staff was still very nice and apologetic. You are safer to plan a walking tour to not have these issues .
Dear Margie: We are very sorry for this situation. Please send an e-mail to tiptours@tiptours.com.mx to request your refund. Best regards,
The hop on hop off Turibus was a perfect way to learn a bit about the history of Puebla and main places around the city. It’s a great way to see what places or things to explore more in-depth. We were able to stop for 20 minutes to admire the view and take pictures at one point. We loved the experience !
Dear Tersa: Thanks a for traveling with us. We are glad to hear you had a nice experience in Puebla. We hope to see you soon back in Puebla for more experiences.
This was a good tour. However, it is only given in Spanish. If you’d like a different language, they provide you with a headset that connects to a small radio on the bus. The radio doesn’t work, though. The radio turns off every 5 minutes so you have to turn it on again and re-set it to your language of choice. My partner and I ended up throwing out the headset and I just translated everything for him. Also, the price here is inflated. If you pay for it on the spot at Puebla it’s almost half the price.
Dear Alix. Thanks a lot for visiting Puebla, and for your time to write this review. We appologize for the inconvenience with the audio system. We will check it to correct this problem.
Very accommodating to English speakers, helpful, good city tour of one hour. Some of the headset jacks did not work but overall it was a good tour of the city.
Dear Lar: Thanks for choosing Tip Tours & DMC. We are glad to know that you enjoyed the tour around Puebla. Thanks for letting us know the problem with the headset. We will check on it.
The bus very clean and very cute... but they needed to be excellent, the tour was very fast, few stops to enjoy what village offers, the guide is not the one who tells the story is a recording , if you ask me what I remember what the recording says I can say that nothing, I remember what I talk to the guide and I explain myself but because I ask you, they should improve the tour.

Estimada Liliana. Gracias por haber viajado con Tip Tours y por tu tiempo para escribir tu reseña ya que para nosotros son muy útiles. En este recorrido se especifica que llevan un audi-guía y no guía en vivo. Es un tour para tener un panorama general de la Ciudad de Puebla y como se menciona tanto en nuestra descripción como cuando se vende el tour, tenemos la parada en el mirador "La Mantarraya" para ver un panorama de la ciudad y tomarse fotos. Para un tour más a profundidad, puedes seleccionar el city tour peatonal o el de los Secretos de Puebla. Solicitaremos al personal sea más enfático en describir el tour para que no haya mal entendidos. Seguimos a tus órdenes.
It is a recommended experience especially when one arrives at the destination because comfortably and with explanations show the significantness of the city center. They're nice and answer the questions. It is worth the investment of time and money.

Estimada Grettel: Muchas gracias por su opinión ya que nos ayuda a mejorar y también a felicitar a nuestros colaboradores. Nos da gusto saber que tuvo una excelente experiencia. Esperamos verla pronto.
When you arrive in the city of Puebla you might be overwhelmed at the options available. With hundreds of churches, restaurants, artisan shops, markets, parks, etc. the local guides can only point to so many options. Enter the Double Decker Tour Buses - they park right in the Zocalo alongside the cathedral and leave ever hour or so for hour long tours around the city. Guides are in Spanish, English and other languages and you get to see all of your options in one fell swoop. You take the tour, arrive back in the Zocalo, then map out your plan. And the tour itself takes you throughout the city centre, up into the hills, through backstreets and into unique areas of the city. I highly recommend for any traveler - take the tour first thing - then solidify your plans based upon your impressions and tastes.
Dear Customer: Thanks for traveling with Tip Tours & DMC and for your opinion. We are happy to hear the tour was good for planning the rest of your visit in Puebla. We hope to see you soon.
