Orlando is an Excellent Guide - Orlando is a first class tour guide. A+. Taxco and Cuernavaca are worth the visit. puebla/cholula is better if you must choose. But I would go to Taxco with Orlando over Puebla with an average guide!

Knowledgeable tour guide, beautiful towns, but makes for a long day so just prepare for it for the best experience - Friendly and knowledgeable tour guide and great driver that made you feel safe. Our original date of our tour was cancelled about two hours before they were scheduled to pick us up due to van troubles so it's best to have a back up plan. Thankfully we were able to get on the same tour a few days later. Even though I asked what time an estimated time to return would be, the contact on whatsapp was off by three hours so best to not make any plans that evening and be sure to eat before getting back on the van since it takes a while to drop all the other passengers off.
