6.Guided Tour of Cholula

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 78 reviews · 4 hours · from $87

Travel from Puebla to Cholula with a local guide such as Renato or Josue, whose stories connect the pyramid, churches and regional traditions. Expect a short drive, several guided stops, uphill walking and time for a quick browse. The archaeological zone’s Courtyard of the Altars is closed Mondays and Tuesdays.

“First, Mario was an excellent driver. (Important for my sister, who gets extreme motion sickness.) More importantly, RENATO! He was informed, engaged, enthusiastic, and attentive. He gave us more insight into the region and the locations we visited than we could absorb. When one church couldn’t be toured during Mass, they drove us to a bonus cathedral. He even gave us the history of Lucha Libre when my sister bought tiny masks for her grandsons! Request Renato by name. Without question, the best tour guide I’ve met. Thank you for a wonderful morning in Puebla and Cholula! ☀️”

8.Cholula tour from Puebla

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 66 reviews · 3 to 4 hours (approx.) · from $73Top rated

Travel from central Puebla to Cholula in an air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking local guide. Visit the pyramid and hilltop Shrine of Our Lady of Remedies, San Gabriel Convent, San Pedro Market, and Santa María Tonantzintla church. Guides such as Renato and Josué have led tours, and the uphill walk is steep.

“This tour was fabulous (if a bit strenuous). Renato has a deep background in the history of Mexico and Cholula and is very proud to share it. The climb up the hill to the cathedral is steep and long but well worth it and the archaeological site was a very up close view of thousands of years of history. The church at the end of the day was an amazing surprise! Very much recommend.”
