Itinerary
Day 1: Puebla & Cholula
Stop At: Great Pyramid of Cholula, Av. Morelos esq. 8 Norte, San Pedro Cholula 72760 Mexico
On the first day, you'll be picked up from your centrally located meeting point in Mexico City and head to the two beautiful and important historical cities of Cholula and Puebla, located just two hours from Mexico City. You will drive across the highway among the mountains at the East of the city with breathtaking views and the beautiful scenery of Popocatepetl and Iztaccihuatl volcanoes, which can also be seen from Cholula. Once in Cholula, you'll admire the hundreds of churches and visit the impressive church of Santa María de Tonantzintla. This is an indigenous-Baroque building which stands out for its interior decorated in gold and with a wealth of elements.
Duration: 1 hour 20 minutes
Stop At: Zocalo, Puebla Mexico
After visiting Tonantzintla you'll head to the city of Puebla, located just 15 minutes away from Cholula. Puebla is popularly known as the “City of Angels” and here you will enjoy a delicious lunch (not included). The gastronomic variety in Puebla is rich, so you can choose from a simple and traditional “semita", or the exquisite and laborious "mole poblano.“ Then, you will enjoy a walking tour through the beautiful historic center and see the sixteenth and eighteenth century buildings as well as the Plaza de Armas, the Cathedral and the Church of Santo Domingo. You'll also visit the craft market where you can find beautiful works in the traditional Talavera figurines and delicious sweets such as sweet potatoes, prepared in different flavors.

Duration: 1 hour 10 minutes
Stop At: Santa Prisca de Taxco, Plaza Borda, Taxco Mexico
Then, you will drive to Taxco, a colonial city with hundreds of years of history.

Hopefully YOU SPEAK SPANISH. If not don't take this tour..You will be ignored.
The tours destinations are good to see. Bad Point: Amigo tours uses glorified city buses. They had no A/C on buses I took on 3 of 4 different tour dates Most days were 85 degrees +. Taxco was 5 hr bus ride in 100 degree heat. NO A/C !!! Amigo Tours cares little about customers.
It was a perfect trip: weather, sightseeing and trip guide and driver!!!
The experience was very different both days as the first guide was terrible. He didn't speak english, was not knowledgeable and organized stops very badly. The worst was the lack of AC in the bus both days in 30 degree C temperatures. Taxco and Puebla are amazing! They picked us up from our hotel.
Good Guides, Good knowledge of the areas, Good Price!
Taxco is a wonderful city full of medieval charm.
This is a two day tour. Tour guides Francisco and Kevin were outstanding. First day tour with Francisco to Puebla and Cholula was excellent but got delayed due to picking up people at various locations. This was the problem with all tours I purchased from this company. Coming back got caught in the traffic and it was 5 hours of torture sitting in the bus. Wish we had taken a break in between. This was unusual. On second day tour with Kevin was good and he is very good. People person! He even accommodated drivers female friend to sit on the front passenger seat and he sat on a small chair in between the driver and passenger in the front. Very uncomfortable and not safe. Overall tour is good provided safety factors are taken into account.
Enjoyed the trip in Puebla and Taxco. Got to taste the authentic Mexican food. I love Taxco, feels like you're in Santorini Greece. I highly recommend this tour. Our tour guide Antonio made a special effort to show my husband and I this beautiful church in Puebla while waiting for the other people in our group tour at our meeting place.
