Alicia is an excellent guide! We spent a beautiful day. Her explanations were very thorough
Our day trip to Puebla and Cholula was great! The colourful colonial architecture, incredible mole poblano, and the Great Pyramid of Cholula made for an unforgettable day. A huge thank you to our guide Alvaro, whose deep knowledge of the history and culture brought every site to life — his storytelling made the trip truly special. And to our driver Gib, thank you for getting us around safely and smoothly all day! Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the region.
Dear Krystal, thank you for sharing your experience. We’re delighted to know that you had such a memorable day discovering Puebla and Cholula, from their history and architecture to the local gastronomy. It’s wonderful to hear that the detailed explanations and comfortable transportation helped make the experience even more special. Thank you for your recommendation and for choosing Amigo Tours! Kind regards, Trekzy Quality Team
Ask the guide, if you don't ask they won't tell you, like which colonial streets to visit in Puebla that you can walk in your free time, not just shops
Excellent! Great experience with the help of Rene our tour guide and driver Pedro..Thank you so much
Dear joy_p, Thank you for your kind review. We are delighted to know you had such a great experience and enjoyed your visit to Puebla and Cholula. We hope to welcome you again on another adventure. Greetings from the Trekzy Quality Team
To preface, I will say that Barbara is an amazing guide. She was very helpful, attentive, and gave a lot of knowledge. This is a VERY long day. You’ll start at the Amigo Tours hostel where you’ll depart to Cholula. For us, this drive took 4 hours. There were a lot of road blocks, traffic jams, and my god does no one know how to merge lanes. Additionally, the drive to/from Mexico City will be the bumpiest ride of our life. No pothole will be left un-driven over. In Cholula, there is an optional steep walk up to the church, but it’s voluntary. From there, we go to another little church about 15 minutes away, then go to Puebla. We arrived in Puebla around 3 PM, which is when lunch was had. We had about 2-2.5 hours of free time to walk around and do whatever you please. Puebla is a big city, but the downtown area is very navigable and there’s lots of opportunities for shopping, eating, and exploring. We departed Puebla to go back to CDMX, and luckily the drive only took about 2.5 hours this time - so depending on the day, YMMV. Also important to note - bring a portable charger. None of the outlets in the bus work. If given the option again, I probably would’ve just spent the day exploring more of Mexico City than going to Puebla. It wasn’t a must see for me, but for some it may be. It’s all up to the person.
Dear Jakob_T, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are pleased to know you appreciated the dedication and professionalism of your guide. We are sorry that some aspects of the experience did not fully meet your expectations, and we truly value your comments as they help us identify opportunities for improvement. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future. Greetings from the Trekzy Quality Team
A great tour to some very interesting places near Mexico City. A very serious road accident closed the road for a couple of hours but the guide and driver kindly extended the tour so we didn’t miss out. Great customer service.
Dear Customer, Thank you for sharing your experience. We are delighted to know you enjoyed the tour despite the unexpected road closure. We always do our best to adapt to unforeseen situations so our travelers can make the most of their day. We hope to welcome you again soon. Greetings from the Trekzy Quality Team
