Mi esposo y yo hicimos una gira con Ariel. Él está muy bien informado sobre toda el área, nunca hubo silencio, ¡lo cual es una gran cosa! También es muy amable y paciente, permitiéndonos comprar cuando vimos algo que queríamos comprar. ¡Fue la mejor excursión en la que he estado! Los sitios eran increíbles, la información abundante y la compañía muy amable. Definitivamente haríamos esto nuevamente la próxima vez que estemos en México, ¡e incluso pagaría más por todo lo que hicimos ese día! Las iglesias en el recorrido fueron exquisitas, nunca había visto tanta belleza en mi vida. Candy Street fue muy divertido, ¡y aprender sobre la cerámica de Talavera fue increíble! Si está buscando pasar un día increíble aprendiendo muchas de las cosas que Cholula y Puebla tienen para ofrecer, ¡no busque más!Quedamos muy contentos, el guía muy profesional y muy amable, nos resolvía todas nuestras dudas!! Totalmente recomendable

Ariel was my guide. He is as polite and professional as he was knowledgeable. That is to say, he was great. I learned a lot and enjoyed myself. I recommend Ariel as a terrific guide. It really says something when the tour is still good even when most of the city is closed during the covid pandemic. I imagine when things are open the tour is even better. For the time being, even with Covid, Ariel made a good tour.This tour is not 2 days but only one. It was a surprise as it says that it is 2.

This tour is not 2 days but only one. It was a surprise as it says that it is 2. The tour guide, David Said,was marvelous and very professional. He was a careful driver and very patient. We did have a good day and saw lots. The only reason we are giving this tour a 4 and not a five is because of the itinerary mistake.I am slightly disabled (can't walk for long periods) and this company was able to flex their tour to accommodate this, i.e., spending more time in the car seeing things versus tramping around.

I am slightly disabled (can't walk for long periods) and this company was able to flex their tour to accommodate this, i.e., spending more time in the car seeing things versus tramping around. My tour guide Arantxa was completely fluent in English and very knowledgeable, plus being a fun companion. The driver, Senor Ernesto, was safe and courteous, a true gentleman. Overall, Puebla and Cholula are very interesting and somehow "off the radar" as I did not see many non-Mexican tourists. These cities played a big role during the time of Cortez and also in the Mexican Independence. The old churches are amazing, plus the modern cities that have grown up around them are vibrant and youthful. This tour was well worth the time and cost.
