Great way to see Puebla

The van was packed for this tour, but they were still very accommodating and allowed us to add one more person at the very last minute. We spend about an hour in Cholula before heading to Puebla to have lunch where we also got an hour of free time to walk around. It was a nice quaint town. I wish we had more time to explore it, but we would probably have to come back and spend a couple days there.

Beautiful discovery of Puebla

The tour booked in English was conducted in Spanish. Very practical pick-up service but too late departure from Mexico, leaving little free time in Puebla. . The imposed restaurant lacks charm, highway buffet style, too bad for a city known for its gastronomy.

A must do and see when you visit Mexico City as it is so close. The scenery is so beautiful. The churches we visited were impressive and we loved the restaurant where we had lunch! Both the driver, Angel and the tour guide, Marco were amazing! I 100% recommend
