As expected, and was happy - The day started with on-time pick up nearby where I stay per request, it was a good amount of people in our group, 11 pax including me. The guide, Enrique, explained everything in both English and Spanish. There are plenty of Bathrooms around at every spot we stopped. It all went as scheduled and we got back to the city between 7pm-8pm depending on where you stay as we made each drop off. Very well being taken care of and I had a great time and I am very happy with this Tour.

The nicest places around Mexico DC - The tour is worth taking and worth its price. It took about 11 hours altogether and we liked each minute about it. The Minibus was comfortable and the atmosphere in the group was great.
The cities of Cholula and Puebla are very unique in history and architecture. They have many special churches, but- apart from this - Puebla is so nice, quiet and clean that we could easily have spent several days there. Juan Castro showed us all the best places you should not miss when visiting this area and gave a lot of detailed explanations, especially about the various churches, their different styles and purposes due to regions and centuries of foundation.
Thank you for a special experience in Mexico.

Trip to Puebla state - We had a wonderful time! Thanks to Barbara our tour guide and Rafael our driver. We spent the entire day together site seeing the beautiful state of Puebla. The tour was well organized, informative and clear instructions from Barbara helped us to set expectations.
As far as improving the itinerary I would suggest to provide tourists with more options and suggestions on what to do in the Puebla town: the city map with local attractions, suggested restaurants and local stores.
Instead of sending the entire group to one restaurant and the local market. I totally understand the agency intentions but the company has to do more for customer’s satisfaction.

An excellent trip, thanks to the tour guide Juan Castro - I would like to first start by thanking Juan Castro. He is such a humble human being who is so articulate in describing everything along with the history and other facts that go with any place we were visiting.
Juan gave us an excellent introduction to the pyramids, the anthropology of the place and the churches that came up. He answered all questions so patiently. We were wishing he would be the tour guide on our trip to Teotihuacan the next day, and we were lucky to have him as our guide.
We started off with the church in Tonantzintla followed by the pyramid of Cholula which the Spanish mistook for a hill and built a church on. We spent an excellent half day going around the streets of Pueblo, exploring the local market and the colonial style buildings along with the churches and cathedrals that makes Pueblo a historic place. Thanks to Juan, we understand history better.
As a tourist, what will strike you most is the cleanliness and pride Mexico has. It is one of the cleanest countries in the world.
Tourists should be aware that the journey to Pueblo and back can take time, sometimes even more due to the notorious Mexico traffic.
The only negative was the van. It was not comfortable, did not have USB charging ports and no WiFi too. Luckily I did have a power bank but having WiFi would have helped more.

As interesting and rushing trip - All done very fast. Tonantzintla is a very different church, made by the indigenous people, but the passage there is very fast. In Cholula, the visit is to walk up a very high hill to see the city and the volcanoes from there. On the day we went, the clouds were covering the volcanoes and the guide could have warned that it was not worth the climb: it was better to enjoy the lower part of the city. In Puebla, we visited 3 amazing churches, but we wasted a lot of time on lunch (all in the same restaurant) and then little free time in the city. The company team was very kind and they offer transport door-to-door to hotels and airbnb, that's good.
