Frederikke – Mexico

Very nice tour. Se could have sent more time in Cholula, but we stopped at a shop before reaching Cholula where we in my oppinon spent a lot of time. We had an hour in Cholula and 40 minutes free time in Atlixco. The time in Atlixco felt well spent since we walked around town on a guided tour prior to the free time. Also, the tour is a big group. Se traveled in an ADO bus.

I think is a good value for what you pay. They were punctual, and kind, and did their very best. As with most tours, you go to strategic points and get the info about it (note that this tour is fully in Spanish only!!!), the recommendations, etc. all within the schedule. So, you don't have much time to explore and that's a bummer, yet is what you get in all tours. I only had one free day to explore and the next back to work before my next flight, so to me, this experience was great and got all the presents I wanted from Atlixco. I recommend that if you have more time, stay at Cholula for two more days, and let the guide know you're staying. Remember to set your way back on a safe transfer in advance with a reliable agency.

Full description

Cholula is considered one of the most beautiful Magical Towns in Mexico, it combines the best of two worlds: its pre-Hispanic heritage, traditions, delicious gastronomy, its pyramids, and the characteristics of a modern city. On this tour, you will visit the following:
-The Great Pyramid of Cholula, which is the largest pyramidal base in the world 400 m long, and dedicated to the God Tláloc.
-The Church of Santa María Tonantzintla: the interior of this church is covered with countless faces, masks, flowers, fruits, birds, and abstract decorative designs. It shows the mixture of the Colonial era and Christianity with the Indigenous Culture. The decoration of this church is the greatest expression of Mexican syncretism and it is undoubtedly a beautiful place to visit.
-The Church of San Francisco Ecatepec: this church was built in the 16th century, a product of Baroque architecture and has a front facade covered in Talavera, typical of this area of Mexico.

You will also visit Atlixco, one of the most popular magical towns in Mexico, which is located at the foot of the Popocatépetl volcano. In the Plaza del Zócalo, you can admire the colorful murals in the Municipal Palace that narrate the history of Atlixco. In the Ex-Convento del Carmen, you can visit the cultural center and a small museum of archeology. You can also admire the church of La Merced known for its highly ornate Baroque facade. You will enjoy walking and touring the streets of Atlixco and feeling the vibes of an authentic Mexican town. This tour promises to be an extraordinary and magical experience.
