00:09Seeing the centuries-old cathedral in Puebla was the reason for taking this tour.
00:15Some of the other churches were not necessary, especially the one that required a huge climb
00:20up a hill and turned out to be in use.
00:23The driver spent a great deal of time on his cell phone, not hands-free, and he was also
00:29texting while driving.
00:31We didn't enjoy the restaurant chosen for lunch.
00:34Would have preferred stopping in an area with a few choices e-food court, and buying our
00:40own lunch, like some of the passengers did.
00:43Longer time to explore local artisans would have been enjoyed, 30 minutes was not enough.
00:49Too much time spent in traffic on the weekend spoiled the tour.
00:54Alan, our tour guide was really knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the subject.
01:00I also had great communication from the tour company who quickly replied to messages via
01:05WhatsApp.
01:07The tour was in both English, and Spanish, which made it a bit slower than I would have liked.
01:13Unfortunately we had a very small minibus which was packed with all seats taken.
01:17As one of the last to board, we ended up with seats over the wheel arch which was very cramped
01:23and uncomfortable.
01:25This is why I've only given 4 stars.
01:29The tour experience was amazing.
01:31It was a great place to visit and to get away from busy streets of CDMX.
01:38I would like to give a big thanks Christian for guiding us through Cholula and Puebla.
01:43He is an amazing person, he provided great history information on the different sites.
01:49In an addiction, he was compassionate and helpful with my mom since she wasn't able to
01:54walk the same speed as everyone else.
01:57Also, Victor the driver was great, I felt safe and comfortable while he was driving from and
02:03to CDMX.
02:06Hi.
02:07I booked this tour for my mom and brother.
02:10They said the trip was nice.
02:12In their case, the tour included lunch, but not drinks.
02:17I didn't like that, because it wasn't clearly stated.
02:20The other thing that bothered me was that they were dropped off at a different spot than
02:25where they were picked up.
02:27The guides asked them beforehand, but they didn't know the way, so they agreed.
02:32Otherwise, the trip was pleasant, the guides were attentive, and the lunch was delicious.
02:39The tour was very interesting and well organized.
02:43We loved the option to not include lunch in the tour so we could explore Puebla for more
02:48time.
02:48The guide, Daniel was fantastic, fun and very kind.
02:54He gave us just the most important facts on the places we visited, and that way we remember
02:59almost all of them.
03:01The minibus was comfortable and the small group odd tourists was a perfect option.
03:07The guide was very knowledgeable and attentive.
03:11Caluca was truly impressive and beautiful.
03:14Very good exercise.
03:16Puebla was stunning, the churches and the town were impressive, the food was very good.
03:22Overall, very good.
03:24The only downside was the transportation, the van wasn't comfortable for the distance, and
03:30the visibility through the windows was very limited.
03:34The tour of Santa Iglesia Basilica-Catedral Puebla was spiritual and enlightening.
03:40It is a beautiful building.
03:42Also, the walking tour of Old Puebla gave all a chance to adore the beautiful architecture.
03:48I can't leave without complimenting my tour guides.
03:52They were amazing and patient.
03:54They explained everything in English and Spanish.
03:58There was a beautiful place in English.
03:59So the first thing was the way to do, and the family was very close.
