Simon Julius – Germany

We have seen - as promised - many churches, Cholula and Puebla. We had a tasty lunch buffet with mexican food and pasta as well. Pavel is an amazing guide! He is well informed told us so many interesting facts and stories also about the history of Mexico in general. And since the tour was bilingual I also had some training in Spanish that day. Gorge brought us out- and inbound very safely and took care of our belongings when we were leaving the bus for walking tours. Everything was relaxed and informative. And there was enough time to talk to co-travellers as well!

It was a very nice experience, and suited our group of people since some of us speak English and others speak Spanish. The transportation was fine, no problem, with highlighting interesting structures and the stories on the way. Now, this is a “superficial” tour. While I enjoyed the archeological sight, we didn’t get to climb the Cholula pyramid and to visit that church on the hill. But it was interesting to visit indocatholic church instead. In Puebla, we had lunch/dinner (around 15:30). It was good. Then we wondered about 1.5-2 h in Puebla stopping at another church (rosario) and the cathedral. It was good too, but like I say superficial. Puebla is town that stands out in Mexico because of barock buildings. However, it could be as well French, Spanish or Italian city. Thus, it would be nice to hear more stories or maybe visit a house or theatre. Nonetheless, there might be not enough time to see everything. I think it was good value for money.
