Puebla & Cholula: Mexico's Ancient Art & Pyramid Day Trip

I enjoyed this day tour to Cholula and Puebla. The first Cholula church was beautiful and had an amazing view, and the historical centre of Puebla was beautiful too. My criticisms are that the second stop wasn’t particularly interesting (another church, in Cholula), the restaurant in Puebla wasn’t very good and even though we were asked to select our lunch in the morning the restaurant didn’t know who ordered what when we got there. I think the tour would be improved by removing the second stop so the first and third stop are less rushed. I would rather have had more time to eat or look at stores in Cholula and Puebla than to go to the second stop. My advice for anyone who does this tour is to skip the lunch option and eat where you want in Puebla. I found a street vendor selling basket tacos which were much better than the restaurant we were brought to. It was a long day and there could be some improvements, but I enjoyed it and recommend it to others.

Beautiful experience with a knowledgeable tour guide-Rodrigo! Tons of walking, make sure to go comfy over style. The first stop is a pyramid base with a church at the top, take note that this walk up to the church is steep cobblestone and stairs. Everything else after this stop is leveled. Tour full of history and photo ops. Only thing I recommend to the company is to allow more time to take pics. Other than that, great experience!

Rodrigo was our tour guide and was amazing and knowledgeable about every area we visited. The experience is exactly as described. We visited the pyramid base which has the church sitting on top of it. We visited another church in Cholula and then went on to visit Puebla and learn about its history. It was beautiful scenery and well worth it for a family of 5 which included 4 adults and one 17 year old who remained entertained as well. Something to note: it’s a lot of walking so go comfy over style, ride was about 2.5 hours out from Mexico City, and the first church you visit on top of the pyramid base is up a rather steep hill made of cobble stone and stairs. I highly recommend wearing comfortable shoes. Tour was taken place via charter bus with a bathroom that was for emergencies only. Only thing I would change is giving the guests more time to take photos as our group was large and with everyone trying to take pics and trying to keep the tour on schedule, the time given to take pics was tight. Other than that, absolutely beautiful towns to visit!

It was excellent! Our guide (Rodrigo)was exceptionally knowledgeable in the history of the sites (as well as Nahuatl language and culture). Super-inspiring. Mastered his bilingual tour excellently !!great pace!!puebla

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 .
