Wonderful experience
Published on Nov, 2024
It was a great experience and our guide was great. We learned a lot and she made sure we all understood. She was patient with my elder mother. I would highly recommend the tour.
A SMART CHOICE..BOOK THIS TOUR.
Published on Nov, 2024
We travel alot and often find a private guide in a new city. ANDREA was an excellent guide. She was early to greet us ( always a pleasure), her English skills were very good, her knowledge of the history of Puebla, the Architecture, the famous persons, etc. We feel as though we would have missed so much had we not engaged her expertise. She brought PUEBLA alive.
An absolute must
Published on May, 2024
Great city tour - Guide was on time, very knowledgeable and passionate about the city. Doing a city tour in Puebla is an absolute must if you want to fully appreciate this beautiful city and its history.
When can we come back?
Published on May, 2024
We are so glad we took this tour! Our tour guide, Alexa, did a fantastic job, and if we could give her 10 stars we would! Some things we especially loved: Palafoxiana Library (especially mind blowing if you love literature and history), seeing how Talavera is made, and the beautiful workmanship of the cathedral, chapel, and buildings. Alexa knows so much and we hope to be able to come back and spend more time in the beautiful city of Puebla!!
Got rained out
Published on Feb, 2024
I’m sure our tour would have been excellent if we had gone … but the tour was cancelled due to a rain storm. We were offered a chance to take the tour the next day but we had already booked the Cholula tour the next day at the same time with Josue Rodriguez. By the way, we had a wonderful tour with Josue to Cholula the next day!
My husband & I were fortunate enough to be the only people on the tour that morning and Josue was right on time to pick us up.
Josue was considerate and informative throughout the tour and we learned so much! Plus I am disabled & have to use a walker & Josue was always so helpful in making sure I could get around safely.
Thank you Josue for a wonderful tour!
