Puebla, Cholula.

On my last trip, in January of this year, I had the opportunity to go and meet Cholula. Without a doubt a unique experience, the culture you have is very beautiful. Especially the visit and tour of the pyramid.

All in one Puebla tour!

If you want to see all the major sites in Puebla in one day, this is the tour for you. Our tour guide Damian was very friendly and knowledgeable. We were lucky enough to be the only ones on the tour that day so we really got the full experience. We started the tour visiting the Great Pyramid of Cholula. Keep in mind, you don’t really see the pyramid because it’s now covered but you will see parts of the pyramid and the church that’s built at the very top which is absolutely breathtaking! In order to get to the church you do have to walk up a steep hill/stairs. There are no elevators so just something to consider.

Operator response

Hi Teresita :) Thank you so much for your review, with your comment you're helping others so they can choose the right experience for them. We are glad that the experience with Damian was unforgettable. Thank you for your trust. Kind regards from all the Unlimited Team.
