“It was fantastic: Rene is a superb guide, full of information, humor, and helped me out when my phone battery was nearly dead. Rodolfo is a great driver as well, safely negotiating all the traffic. I wish we had more time to see the archeological part of Cholula, but I wouldn't want to cut off time at any of the other stops. Tonantzintla had the most impressive interior of any church I've seen.”

Me pareció bien todo, excepto caminar en subida a pleno rayo de sol...No pudimos entrar a ka iglesia porque era hora de misa...ESTO SI YDS LO SABEN DEBERIAN MEJORAR LA HORA DE SALIDA PARA NO TIPARSE CON LA MISA. No almorzamos en el.lugar que recomendó Rene, las mesas eran pocas y estaban demasiado expuestas al sol.INGRESE A UNA CAFETERIA GENIAL QUE QUEDA A UNOS METROS Y KA VOMUDA DELICIOSA. El GUÍA correcto. Nos gustó el paseo. Es opción recomendable
