★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,702 reviews · 11 hours (approx.) · from $49Our pick

Puebla, Cholula and Tonantzintla in one day from Mexico City with round-trip transport, guided stops, and optional lunch.

“Very good ,Alex the guide was great. The pyramid was different and exotic not like all the others. The walk around Pueblo was interesting but don’t miss the cathedral. It’s wonderful and the best cathedral I’ve been to in the americas and frankly rivals if not surpasses the many I’ve been to in Europe. I was the only one in my group to sign up for lunch. The others made a mistake. The mole sauce was exceptional.”

4.Puebla and Cholula Day Trip from Mexico City

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 274 reviews · 10 to 12 hours (approx.) · from $54

A long but rewarding Puebla and Cholula day trip from Mexico City with hotel pickup, a bilingual guide, and major churches plus the Great Pyramid.

“The hotel pick up worked perfectly with both driver and guide eager to answer questions about things we saw along the way to the assembly point. The drive to Puebla was about 2+ hours each way and took us through a part of Mexico City we won't rush to but accentuated the sheer size and scope of one of the largest cities in the world. Once we left the valley, we drove on a highway that took us through pine forests and evidence of multiple wildland fires before dropping down into the Puebla area. The tour planned a rest break in both directions at the 80-90 minute mark - essential…”

“Unfortunately, there was an accident on the highway to Puebla and we were stuck in the traffic congestion for 4 hours. The guide didn’t manage well people’s frustration and anxiety. We lost time and had to skip Tonantzintla, and reduced sightseeing in Puebla. The way back had also taken over 3 hours Clyde to another accident on the road. Overall, disappointing.”

“This definitely wasn’t a private tour experience and I wouldn’t recommend it. We knew the journey from Mexico City was going to be around 4 hours each way but the website promised a blanket so we could sleep and car with aircon so we thought it will be a comfortable car, it couldn’t have been worse as the car was totally unsafe, no seat belts, warning lights on dashboard, doors didn’t open from inside, clutch wasn’t working so he couldn’t put in some gears, no aircon so we had to have windows open all the way even on motorways so we couldn’t relax or sleep as we were worried the…”
