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

This trip is an amazing way to get out in nature. The terrain was beautiful, the cowboys were fun and helpful, and the dinner and breakfast were delicious. I watched a beautiful sunset, the full moon rising, and the sun coming over the mountains while my coffee was being prepared in the morning. And there are s'mores around the campfire!!

My husband I and did a half day ride with Beth and her 2 very competent and friendly cowboys—Reyes and Canta (??). I am a regular rider, but my husband is not and we both had an equally great time and felt very safe the whole time. The horses were extremely sure footed on the rocky terrain and had such nice dispositions. You could also tell how well cared for the horses were, which we both really appreciated. I loved getting the vistas in the beautiful area and galloping along in the places where the footing allowed. A highlight of our trip for sure. I would highly recommend it to any level of rider.

I enjoyed my Cholula Tour with Susana and Unlimited Experiences so much, I booked another tour with them the following day! Susana was a such a friendly guide, very professional, and tailored both tours around my interests! The sights were beautiful and the restaurants were excellent. They took COVID precautions very seriously and were always quick in answering all of my questions. I highly recommend this company when visiting Puebla!

We booked a several day tour with Estigo. The owner Gonzalo was super responsive and helpful. He hooked us up with Mariana and her van Gordita in CDMX and it was perfect. Mariana was like a friend, nanny, and tour guide. She picked us up from the airport and spent pretty much 4 days with us. The price was really reasonable. Mariana will have a place in our heart and we look forward to seeing her again.

We had such a fun time on our tour! Miguel was a great guide and we enjoyed seeing all the sights! Our driver was also super kind and she was very prompt at helping us be in the right place at the right time. We did the hot air balloon ride, walking tour of the pyramids, and the bike tour. Such a fun filled day and we learned a lot! I would do this again and recommend it to anyone!
