Puebla - Our tour guide was Jair and he was amazing! He was very informative about the culture of Puebla and Mexico in general. He took us to the most important parts of Puebla and recommended us great places to shop and eat. He was very patient and allowed us to stop and take pictures. He was very sweet and kind.

I recommend this tour! - This was an amazing experience! Our guide Alexa is the woman for this job. She was a great guide and was able to provide so much detail on every aspect of the tour-gastronomy, architecture, history of each place we visited, etc.

Visit to Cholula and town - Beautiful tour full of Mexican history and culture. The romantic legend of the volcanoes that accompanies the imposing view of both Popocatépetl volcanoes during the route to reach Cholula and its spectacular church located on the hidden pyramid. The view is spectacular and the photos are amazing. Then in town enjoy a delicious meal and the beautiful art of the Talavera in the street of the toads and refresh with a delicious dessert snow after lunch in the restaurant Evangelina all in good taste the very friendly people thanks to our Bernardo Guide who made the whole experience pleasant for its culture and friendliness with great knowledge of all the topics.

4 spectacular, historic churches, plus a small crafts market. Not much on the cities. Worth the price. - The day was, basically, 4 extraordinary, unique, historic, and spectacular churches, a wonderful restaurant for lunch, and half an hour in a craft market. That's all there was time for. There wasn't much of an overview of the city, or it's culture, people or products. The churches were marvels, very ornate and baroque, from the 1500's and 1600's. One of them is on top of an indigenous pyramid, which has an archeological dig going on on one side. It's a climb to get up there, but a well-paved walkway with a railing to hold. The two-hour trip Mexico-City to Puebla is a bit arduous in the 12-passenger microbus because of the traffic and the rough roads. Most of us slept on the way home. There is one bilingual guide, English/Spanish, who adapts to his or her clientele.

Driver and guide were great, but Amigo leadership should take note! - The guide and the driver were fantastic! After doing so many tours with Amigo, i am disappointmented at their management. All other tours with them had a much more comfortable bus and 2 guides, instead of one bilingual one. While the guide did his best to go back and forth between Spanish and English, it was hard for people to follow, and everything took much longer than it should have had. Please make notes and take corrective actions in your planning, and don't blame the driver or guide! I really want you to do better!
