Rodrigo is an excellent tour guide and translates fluently in English. We visited lots of places in one day! Highly recommended.

I had my tour with Rodrigo, it was a great time and I learned so much. The information he gave really put into context to what I’ve seen at museums and sites around Mexico City. I feel like I have a better grasp on Mexican history and I got to see some amazing stuff. Speaking of which, crazy to think there’s a whole pyramid underneath that hill! Supposedly, they “can’t” uncover it, hmmmm… what’re they hiding down there? Mighty suspicious behavior. Alright Cholula, keep your secrets, but I’m on to you🧐

Gio was an excellent tour guide. Very informative. I would recommend this tour. I can’t comment on the lunch since I did not go. Everything else was amazing. Comfortable bus as well.

Bernie was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable, friendly. Great to give us instructions in English and Spanish. Puebla was my favorite part I would like more time to explore the city.

My husband and I had a wonderful time on this daytrip. It was a last minute decision to go and so glad we did. Alvaro (guide) and Peter (driver) were wonderful! It's the first time that we've been on a tour that used headsets...what a great idea! I was able to take photos and listen to Alvaro's commentary at the same time. The tour focuses on churches/cathedrals which is up our alley. The walk to the Cholula church is up hill, with great views when you reach the top. We opted out of the lunch at Puebla. There was a market across the street from the lunch stop so we spent our time there during the lunch break. Loved that we had two hours of free time in Puebla to wander this UNESCO World Heritage Site historical centre. Thank you for a great trip Alvaro and Peter!

Héctor and Pedro were amazing!! Had a smooth ride there and back. Great way to see Puebla and Cholula in one day. Will absolutely use this company again .

We had a nice day overall. The tour guide worked really hard to explain everything and was open and welcoming but i still wouldnt reccomend this trip to others. The churches and the temples were nice to see and interesting to learn about, however this was in no way balanced with the amount of time spent in the van getting from place to place which was the vast majority of the day. We were also told lunch was included and paid for lunch to be included. The lunch they served was the worst meal i have had over my entire trip in mexico. If you take this trip opt out of lunch. We were also told drinks including soft drinks werent included in the price and so had to pay separately. The waiter then added on a nice tip for himself to our bill for "service" of our free meal. For such a nice group of people doing the tour they are badly let down by the organisation of it and the restaurant they have chosen to affiliate themselves with.

Our tour guide Alvaro and driver Rodolfo made the trip a great experience. We had time to explore and enjoy Puebla like I don’t think we would have without them.
