About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 716curtism0 contributionsDo it!Perfect. I have done many food tours. The length of time for this one was perfect. About 2.5 - 3 hours. Some get way too long. The food choices were delicious and reflected the culture of Puebla. Ronnie was a great host.Written May 13, 2024
- 329angelesd0 contributionsGreat place to spend at least 1/2 a dayAfricam really impressed we all, we had a wonderful morning here. I was pleased to see clean and healthy animals in it’s natural habitat.Written April 1, 2024
- Harrietmae990 contributionsA wonderful guide who broadened our understanding.We had an English speaking guide named Alberto He knew everything about Mexican history, He was a history graduate. We were interested in the Mexican Revolution He filled us in on lots of the history And that was before touring the churches and the pyramid! It was a perfect tour Much, much informationWritten March 30, 2024
- 711finnp0 contributionsA nice tripA nice trip only one hour and it did take you to the museum area and with a nice view of the city .Buy the tickets at the main square for 120 pesos about $8 Cdn and don’t pay the $20 Cdn Viator charges..Written March 11, 2024
- Trek609478035080 contributionsHad a great time on the (much more than a...) culinary tourThis is a fun, well-paced culinary tour of Puebla. We walked, we snacked, we walked some more. Our guide, Ronnie, was as well-versed in the food side of the city as historical. He had a lot of great ideas for where to eat, which museums to visit and more. Highly recommended. Note that to find the tour, the instructions are really confusing—ignore the bit about the bronze miniature map of the city. Just go to the Puebla tourism office. When you enter the door, the city's public tourist office is to the left. Look to your right and you'll see some small booths with private tour operators. Tip Tours is in the far right corner.Written February 14, 2024
- Lynn S0 contributionsA great way to experience the food and history of Puebla.My husband grew up in Puebla, but loves and misses the food. We enjoyed visiting many historical places around the historical center of the city. We visited 5 different restaurants and tried a variety of food. Yes, there was a lot of walking, but it was nice as it provided a good way to see the city and also to digest a bit before the next restaurant. Our guide was very good. I was a little surprised when purchasing the tour that for a Spanish language tour it was $50, but for an English language tour it was $70. We took the Spanish tour, and I think it was well worth the price. I thought we were going to be giving a cook book, but we weren't. I'm sure we can get recipes online.Written January 2, 2024
- 115pp0 contributionsBest way to get to know Puebla!We had a wonderful tour with Ronnie. He is clearly passionate and extremely well informed about his city and is proud to introduce it to visitors. Ronnie really made us feel at home from the very beginning. At the start of the tour, he took us to his favorite bakery to try some delicious tamales and traditional bread. We then visited a local market for a quesadilla, a quaint restaurant for the different types of mole, and a popular spot for tacos al arabe. This was all between walking around historic Puebla, trying traditional Puebla snacks and dulces. Ronnie also gave us some wonderful recommendations for dinner, drinks, shopping, etc. It was a wonderful way to really experience this beautiful city and should be the first stop for any one coming to visit Puebla. Would highly recommend!Written November 14, 2023
- chrisgutteridge20 contributionsBest welcome - and cheesecake - in EastbourneThis little cafe is absolutely fantastic. The lady who runs it is the kindest and most welcoming person you could wish to meet. My top recommendation is the beautiful creamy home made cheesecake. Everything is served on fine vintage china, to make it extra special. Highly recommended ChrisWritten May 25, 2023
- BillE1240 contributionsGreat fun!Plenty of healthy animals to view in a natural setting. A family could spend a day here easily; there are at least two visitor centers with stores, restaurants, and activities in addition to the ride through.Written May 15, 2023
- LAR0010 contributionsGood tour!Very accommodating to English speakers, helpful, good city tour of one hour. Some of the headset jacks did not work but overall it was a good tour of the city.Written April 9, 2023
- C6911HHvanessap0 contributions5/5Don’t go on Tuesdays because the Basilica is closed on Tuesdays. Also, if you look up the story of this Virgin Mary, there is a story related to her that talks about holy water that she gave to heal and that is not at the basilica, it’s maybe a 5-10 minute drive to get there from the church and as long as you bring your own bottle you can take as much water as you want. My mother went with me, she really wanted the water and was super pleased to go there. Our driver, David, was really great and our guide Lionel was superb, super knowledgeable about everything.Written March 24, 2023
- Demi R0 contributionsGreat tripWe had our Tourguide Alejandra to ourselfs! She was extremly kind and taught us so much! We had a lot of funWritten March 10, 2023
- J8884WWdavec0 contributionsyou will walk. and you will eat.Our guide, Jose Luiz, was a character unto himself, maybe 70 with a nice walking stick. While very informative of each location and restaurant, he was also a joy to listen to with jokes and funny stories to fill the walk. He answered all of our questions, both in Spanish for me and then English for my wife. We got to sample several different foods in various places. All were excellent. Our guide let us decide what to try and explained the spiciness level so that it wasn’t overpowering. We also went to areas that were off the beaten path and really showed us life outside the tourist area. This was a tour my wife wanted to take and I was not too keen on going. To my surprise, I really enjoyed myself and our time with Jose Luiz. I highly recommend this tour…Written February 12, 2023
- Mikozdog0 contributionsWonderful tourAlejandra gave us a very nice gastronomic tour of the historic district. We were able to taste a wide variety of local foods and got tips on some of the better, lesser known places that we’ve already tried and are very happy with.Written January 12, 2023
- murrayhill5290 contributionsHighly recommend!Absolutely fantastic! Highly recommend! Solo female traveler and I don't speak much Spanish, signed up for Spanish only tram as I'm trying to learn more, just make sure you know how to understand how many minutes you have at each stop before the tram leaves! The tram itself is adorable and I really enjoyed riding on it seeing all the sites on the way there. The service staff is so kind, and I really enjoyed the cute tram to Cholula and all the sites! On the way back the stop they give you 2.5-3hrs to explore town, I took one of the other busses that I saw after I had lunch and explored for almost the full 3 hours, and they said it's the same ticket I can go on no problem. The town is very cute and lots of history to absorb there. Note the pick up point on the ticket going there shows on google maps like it's inside the little shops but it's outside on the main road a few doors down, if not sure just ask where the tourist information booth is you'll be directed over by anyone super lovely people in Puebla cannot wait to come back :)Written November 9, 2022

A razón de la ya venidera época de fin se año aún recuerdo esta hermosa visita al pueblo de Chignahuapan en Puebla tradicional por ser un pueblo fabricante de esferas y para quienes son amantes de esta época y de la vendimia que viene con ella. Visitar este pueblo mágico es hermoso y placentero. No olviden abrigarse pues el frío está presente. Y hagan de su visita una compra de un excelente recuerdo como lo son las esferas fabricadas en los muchos talleres que ahí existen.
