We visited Puebla again after 5 years and booked the Culinary Experience with Casa Mexicana. This was way more than just a cooking class - it really was a culinary experience. We first went to the market in the center of Puebla to buy all the ingredients for the meal we had selected to cook (Mole Poblano). Then the fun began as we set out to prepare the mole under the watchful eye of Chef Alonso who also provided us with his own recipe. (It turns out that there are an almost indefinite number of recipes of mole, but this one led to the best mole we have ever tasted). We also learned a lot about all the different spices and a lot about Mexican culinary culture in general. The kitchen setting is authentic and charming. In short, we had a wonderful time and an enriching experience. Highly recommended!

One of the absolute highlights of our three day stay in Puebla was a walking tour of the historic center of the city. My wife, daughter and myself set out in mid morning with our guide Galo, through the incredibe streets of this magfificent city. Galo's knowledge and friendliness helped make our tour a truly entertaining and vibrant experience. His anecdotes injected an added degree of awe and wonder to the dazzling churches, historic buildings, reidences, el Zocalo, indeed to every calle and rua we passed through. It was an amzing tour and was conducted in a way that made it flow in a smooth, natural seemingly magical manner. In addition to the Palafoxiana Library, dating back to the mid 1600's to the thriving Zocalo de Puebla, with the help of Galo's stories and explanations, everthing we that we saw and everywhere that e entered became more alive and left us all with a greater appreciation and respect for this marvelous city. I can't emphasize enough how much I recommend anyone to take this tour. You won't be sorry that you did.

Wonderful tour. We got more than we expected. Lovely old towns, typical cuisine, beautiful waterfalls, pyramids, caves, gorgeous mountain views, colonial churches, botanic gardens nestled in the mountains. We learned a lot about the origin of the towns. The guide was very knowledgeable. We stayed overnight in a colonial hotel that had beautiful gardens and was very comfortable. We felt safe and everyone seemed happy to help us. This tour really showed us the roots of the Mexican civilization, we are really glad we did it :)

Really interesting and well-organized tour. Wonderful place and great experience! Safe. Having a knowledgeable tour guide and transportation really makes a big difference. By far the best day of our trip to Mexico.
