This was an enjoyable trip, filled with excitement and the great food of Puebla. Not enough time was given at the Cholula temple. Wish we had a chance to explore the pyramids which the big church was built upon. I feel like we missed out on ancient history here. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable on pre-Columbian history. The driver should have used a seat belt while driving on the highways... a bit unsafe driving at top speed.

Javier from Mexitours is a great tour guide, fluent in English, a good driver and always ready to help. The tour was fun and informative, recommended for people who want to experience smaller, quainter towns than Mexico City, colonial architecture and the ruins of ancient civilizations.

Unser Guide war super kompetent und witzig. Die Haltestellen waren interessant. Nur mit dem Wetter muss man etwas mehr Glück haben, damit der Vulkan schön zur Geltung kommt (am besten wolkenfrei :p). Aber auf das Wetter hat ja niemand Einfluss. Alles in allem war es aber eine empfehlenswerte Tour .
