We booked this tour based on it's itinerary and reviews. We do enjoy an occasional private tour. We were picked up on time at our hotel. Veronica was our guide and was amazing. We went to a flower market before getting on the floating boat. The ride was lovely. Veronica told us a lot about the city it's history and culture. We went to the Diego Rivera museum which is amazing. Then to the Coyocan market where we grabbed a bite to eat and have some free time. Then the Frida Kahlo museum which is a must see. The driver was excellent, smoothly guiding us around the city. We also stopped at the University which wads fascinating. Veronica is very proud of her city and it shows. Her energy and enthusiasm were palpable. The price for what you get is a real bargain. Highly recommend

Cholula is considered the oldest city in America. Here is the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Remedies, the church with domes covered with tiles that the Spaniards built in the 16th century. They placed it just above the Great Pyramid, the basement that looks more like an archaeological site. The days go down and come, the people, the life. Can you imagine in the largest pyramid in the world? It is possible and is in Cholula the oldest town in Latin America, we will visit the archaeological zone, its churches and we will taste liqueurs and rompopes.
