The trip to Cholula was an opportunity to escape the city and visit a really interesting Franciscan church sitting atop the worlds largest pyramid, by circumference. Walking up to the church is not for the faint of heart but both the church and the views were worth the effort. Unfortunately for us none of the volcanoes were visible, but nonetheless the visit was memorable. While Cholula was interesting, the small town of Tonatzin was our first experience of a small Mexican town and as interesting as that was, the church was a highlight for showcasing the skills of indigenous catholic craftsmen. Our guide Renato was full of fascinating information and his explanation of how the Virgin de Guadalupe and Tonatzin aided the Spanish conquest and spread of Catholicism was truly eye opening.

An amazing tour. Our guide, Renold, spoke English and Spanish so well. I learnt a lot And was able to ask many questions. Thank you!

Cholula was always a part of Mexico I wanted to visit due to its rich history and culture. Starting from the food to the drinks to the attractions, everything was just phenomenal. For the price of the tour, it was very efficient and relaxed. My guide Josue was very nice and explained all the stories, did not rush, gave plenty of options and ideas to make this tour much more personalized. He also had some great suggestions about restaurants and bars, traditional food and tips to tour which makes me want to come visit again! I cannot explain enough unless you take the trip! I will definitely be back in Cholula!

Our guide Josue Rodriguez was friendly, engaging and well informed. The driver was skilled in challenging conditions. The sites were a good comparison of architecture, history and story - each with their own charm. The market was interesting- we ate crickets and some delicious cherries. The van was comfortable and clean and on time. I recommend this tour

Cholula it’s an amazing place, climb to the church on top of the mountain On your way back step by the ruins and admire the base of the great pyramid Great views of the volcano and city of Puebla

Josue was a great tour guide. Knew a lot about the area and took us around to the very different churches! This is a short and sweet tour, good for a half day!

The tour will be nice if you don’t want to spend the whole day. The locations were amazing, and Josue, the guide, was very kind and helpful. He has a wealth of information about his country’s history and culture, and recommended a very nice restaurant at the city of Cholula for a quick brunch. I recommend this tour for people who have limited time and would like to know about the city

Josue was a knowledgeable, friendly tour guide, with lots of interesting stories and history. Great food recommendations and we covered all the highlights of Puebla.

It wound up just being two of us which was perfect. Josue was very friendly and informative. Plenty of time at each location to walk around and get great picture. Reasonable price for what was offered. Thank you!

I really enjoyed my time on my tour to Cholula. It is a very cute spot. Josue was a great guide and very knowledgeable, he gave me lots of historical background on the places we visited and introduced me to new food, art and culture. He gave me lots of suggestions of what to try during my stay in Puebla, and let me explore at my own pace. I’m very grateful he took the time to give me a tour on the holiday weekend.

This was my second tour with Josue. I was by myself on the tour so this made the experience even more unique. Josue is a very kind and funny person, and it was nice to have someone to chat with. It almost felt as if I was with a friend and not a tour guide (in a good way). Just as with the Puebla tour, Josue seemed well informed and I learned a lot about Cholula and the surroundings. I definitely recommend this tour if you are short on time and want to maximize your visit in the Puebla area.

We took a private tour with Jesus D on Tours by Locals-loved it just as much as our 1st tour with him to the pyramids.. We visited mostly churches which had so much history of the Mexican people. We did not spend tons of time at each site (but he would if we wanted to) but his choices were excellent. Some were not interested in a lot of churches still enjoyed it and seeing the tour you will see why. The views were fabulous. For lunch he gave us a choice between a buffet or sit down meal (we chose the hotel/sit down with excellent mole and great atmosphere). Market was fun.

This is a must do tour when visiting Puebla/Mexico city. It was a Mexican holiday when I planned my tour, so I had a VIP tour since I happened to be the only person. My guide Josue took his time to narrate to me the history behind all the places we attended. Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to access some of the archeological sites because they were closed for the holiday, however the experience was still beautiful. I’ll recommend this to anyone going to that part of Mexico.

We got to learn a lot from Cholula and the city of Puebla. Our guide (Josue) was very knowledgeable and was also able to explain the history of Puebla to my 9 year old, who was very entertained. Our guide was very patient while going up church in Cholula. The walk is a little steep but thankfully we were going at a comfortable pace. We wished we could have stayed longer to see other areas with our tour guide but we were limited on time. We definitely recommend his tour.

I was the only client on Sunday so I received a private tour for just $55 USD. My guide was very knowledgeable and simply a very cool guy. I learned a lot about the history of Cholula, especially the influx of the Spaniards. I would highly recommend this tour. One callout is for those without a minimal level of physical fitness, you may struggle making it all the way to the top of the pyramid to see the church and the majestic views of Cholula and the volcano.
