A perfect experience! - Jamie was an excellent guide,sensitive to what our interests are. His explanations were clear. His enthusiasm contagious. His warm personality and sense of humor added to our experience. We felt we were able to understand Mexico through his eyes! One of the best guides we have ever had anywhere!

Best of Puebla in a day! - My wife and I loved this tour. Our driver and guide were so accommodating, as I was in a wheel chair. Recommend taking sunblock and a hat since it was very sunny during our visit. Only one place I couldn't see which was the church above the Cholula temple, but my wife got to go up and experience it and take pictures. Highly recommend stopping for lunch in Puebla and Mural de los Poblanos restaurant. Best food I have had in Mexico and loved the outside terrace dining.

Great Day Seeing Some of the Greatest Sites - This trip is my daughter and my first trip to this part of Mexico. If you are staying in the Mexico City area, this experience should not be missed. For the price, we got a full 9-12 hour of history, food suggestions, site visits, and transportation among the insane traffic of Mexico City. Our guide, Carlos, was kind, informative, and patient as my daughter requires a wheelchair to be dismantled and reassembled at every stop. For a family that requires accessibility assistance we received the help we needed to find ramps, flat ground, and appropriate bathrooms. A private tour is the way to go. Less crowded and you get to make your own decisions about food, length of time at each destination, and what information you want to hear. It was amazing!

Personal Tour of Great Cities - An all day historical tour might not sound exciting, but Fernando made it all worth. This was a full day of exploring both cities and taking in the breathtaking views of historical sites. From the influences of Catholicism to the golden halls of historical churches. All this by having a solo tour and a wonderful driver. Everyone should experience this tour (and the food).

Accommodating private tour of Puebla and Cholula - It was a great drive out to Cholula and Puebla. Francisco was our driver and he was so friendly and accommodating. Very patient when we had a small child crying he was calm and didn't let it get to him. Alberto was our guide and he was great at explaining things to us as well as accommodating with the small child's needs. Both are a great team!

I highly recommend! - I highly recommend this experience. There are things in Puebla you won’t find in the city. It also such a nice drive to see the country side outside of the busy city. Marco our driver gave us so much information on the drive there and Carla our guide was so knowledgeable. The only thing that wasn’t provided that was said there would be are water and snacks. Thankfully i did bring my own.

Interesting tour & good value - Very interesting tour and certainly worth visiting for the many churches. Carlos was very knowledgeable about the history and gave us time for shopping. Unfortunately the pyramid tunnels are closed, but the history around the church architecture was interesting. Good views of Popocatépetl.

An unfortunate disappointment. - It just seemed like the guide didn't have a great knowledge of our destination. Often we were hurried along chasing after her. In some locations she couldn't go in with us because she didn't have the small amount of cash for entry to accompany us (cathedral library and museum located where mole was invented). Driver doing speeds up to 140 km down mountains coming back toward Mexico City. A rare disappointment among many tours we have taken worldwide.
