Thank you! - Fantastic tour. Ulises was early, picked us up at our Sonder. We had beautiful views of the mountains on the way to Cholula. The tour of the archeological site with Alberto was great, though we were a little disappointed that the tunnel is closed to tourists. The city of Puebla is beautiful, and we appreciated the laid back pace.

Outstanding Tour! - This was one of the best tours that we have ever taken. Having travelled extensively to over 35 countries, I can honestly say that this tour was one of our favorites. Ulysis and Alberto are outstanding guides with a vast knowledge on the history and culture of Mexico, and Cholula and Puebla in particular. Highlights of the tour include climbing to the top of the worlds largest pyramid in Cholula, an amazing authentic Mexican meal in Puebla, and seeing ash spew from the Popocatepetl volcano. Ulysis and Alberto both are just amazing people with a great passion for their country and life in general. Both were so kind and they really made the trip memorable. Highly recommend!

Ulysis and Alberto were our guides and they were both very knowledgeable, friendly, and accommodating to our needs. Above all else, they are both genuinely great people with a sincere love for their country and sharing it with others. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area!

Excellent - Smooth operation. Tour Guide Ulysses was very professional, spoke outstanding English, excellent knowledge of all of the tour stops, plus Alberto as the guide at the pyramid was also superb. Love the sedan tour beats the bus tours anyday. The tunnels are not open and will probably not open anymore due to erosion as an FYI. 5 star experience from pick up to drop off and everything else in between.

Best day tour experience in Mexico City - Great experience all around. The driver/guide was very pleasant, provided useful explanations and pointers, but did not overload us. The local guide in Cholula was exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly. Both were very flexible, willing to change itinerary a bit - we were interested in seeing a particular church complex and they were happy to do that instead of one of the scheduled churches. The tour of Pueble included stops in several arts/crafts/candy shops, but more to look-see - there was absolutely no pressure to buy anything from our guide and we were moving along at our own pace. This was a stark contrast in a positive way compared to large group tours we took with a different company. One technical note about booking - it is not clear from the website if you are booking a private or group tour and the confirmation email gives incorrect information (including outdated phone numbers). We resolved this by calling the company a couple times to confirm/verify. I would recommend anybody wishing to book to call first and then proceed with online booking, then follow up with another call. Overall a great experience and I would highly recommend Travis Adventures to anyone who wishes to have a quality personalized touring experience.

Ok Experience - Overall, the trip went smoothly. The only reason I am not giving this tour a 5 star rating was because of 2 things. 1. We were a group of 4 adults and we were driven in a small compact car. The 2 hour drive to and from Puebla from Mexico City was a bit comfortable. When I asked our driver if there was a bigger car, he said a bigger vehicle was not able/not in service that day. 2. When we got to the center of Puebla, our guide didn't know much about the city as we had a lot of questions that he just didn't know the answer to.

Decent Puebla Getaway - I was happy to be driven in a car to Cholula and Puebla as we could travel than a bus. Cholula was great with our guide Alberto. He even took us to the market to try tacos de cecina! But the Puebla portion was just okay. Our guide for that portion didn’t really know much English (even though we chose an English guide) so we didn’t get the history or knowledge of the city/places visited. It would have been better to drop us off and let us eat and explore on our own for a few hours. But he was a great driver at least.
