    Este passeio é perfeito para quem passará mais de 3 dias na CDMX e quer absorver mais da história mexicana, além de quebrar a rotina da cidade grande. Puebla e Cholula ficam a 2h30min da CDMX , então a viagem de ônibus fica um pouco chatinha, nada que uma soneca não resolva (condições da via são excelentes). A Amigos Tour foi super pontual, nosso guia Emanuel nos contou toda a história das cidades, com muito entusiasmo e “sentimento”. Foi um ótimo guia. Pontos positivos: Puebla é linda, suas ruas coloridas; o mercado é mais em conta do q CDMX e os doces são deliciosos.. Cholula é história pura...és Pontos negativos: poderia sair mais cedo de CDMX, pegamos mt trânsito na ida e na volta. Podia ter colocado mais um guia, éramos um grupo de 35 pessoas com apenas um guia...

    The guide Alex, driver Felipe and co-guide Clara were excellent. Maybe the programe is too full as we had the feeling to be rushed from place to place. Both Cholula as Puebla has much to offer but we didnot get to see it. But the ride from Mexico city to Puebla is very beautifull

    Love Puebla, very good time and great tour lady. Time management at the places is the only thing I believe can be improve since the best part of Puebla and Cholula it was visiting the town Central Plaza, it was too short time but other stops we spent more time unnecessarily in my opinion.
