Andrea was a good guide, English good enough. The city portion of the tour, excellent. Agriculture portions not recommended, way too far to drive to see a fish farm and a few green houses and a nursery.
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the city portion of the tour and that Andrea’s knowledge and guidance helped make it a positive experience. We also appreciate your comments regarding the agricultural stops. These visits are designed for travelers interested in local production, rural traditions, and the region’s agricultural heritage, but we understand that interests and expectations can vary from guest to guest. Thank you for your honest feedback, as it helps future travelers choose the experience that best matches their interests. Unlimited Experiences Team
Alex was so knowledgeable and took care of everything. This experience exceeded my expectations and I would definitely use them again. They made sure we felt comfortable, safe and answered all our questions.
Thank you for your kind words. We’re thrilled to hear that Alex’s knowledge and attention to detail made your experience exceed expectations. Knowing that you felt comfortable, safe, and well cared for throughout the journey means a lot to us. We’d love to welcome you back for another adventure in the future. Unlimited Experiences Team
Guide was very friendly, good detail of trip and itinerary. However, we had issue with transportation and got stranded several hours delaying our trip and minimizing our time spent at second stop (Cholula).
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that you found the guide friendly and appreciated the details of the trip and itinerary. We sincerely apologize for the transportation issue and the delay it caused, as we understand how frustrating it must have been to lose time at Cholula. Your comments are very important to us, and we will review what happened to prevent this from occurring again. We truly appreciate your understanding and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a smoother experience in the future. Unlimited Experiences Team
A waste of money and time … better to get an uber and explore yourself. I felt like I didn’t get anything out of this experience if you want to call it that. Save your money.
We’re truly sorry that the experience did not meet your expectations. However, we believe it's important to clarify a few key points for future travelers: The tour you booked was to Atlixco, a town officially recognized as a Pueblo Mágico (Magical Town) of Mexico, known for its rich cultural, historical, and natural value. It is one of the most visited destinations in the state of Puebla. You initially stated that the full itinerary was not completed. That is true — due to heavy rain and a landslide, one stop became inaccessible, a situation entirely beyond our control. Our team acted responsibly by adapting the itinerary accordingly. Later, your complaint shifted to the claim that you simply didn’t like the destination, which we respect as a personal opinion — but it is not grounds for a full refund of a service that was carried out professionally. It’s important to note that at the end of the tour, you completed a feedback survey where you rated the guide’s service with 5 stars and indicated that everything was “good and correct.” Despite this, we offered a partial refund as a gesture of goodwill, and you still threatened to initiate a chargeback through your bank in order to obtain a full refund. We understand that every traveler has different tastes and expectations, but we stand firmly behind the quality, professionalism, and transparency of our services. Unlimited Experiences is proud to be supported by hundreds of satisfied travelers, and we will continue working with passion to showcase the best of Mexico.
My trip to cholula and atlixco was memorable, the guides who took me explained very well the story about these two magical towns and I would definitely recommend this company
Muchas gracias por tu amable comentario. ¡Saludos de parte de todo el equipo Unlimited!
After evaluating several tour operators, we selected EU, and we made no mistake. From the first contact in the planning, until even after we were left they kept paying attention to every detail. We wanted to immerse ourselves in everything Puebla has to offer, so we took 3 tours with them on 3 different days. It was very worth it as we managed to know in depth all that the City and its surroundings has to offer, plus without wasting a single minute as the duo of Emanuel and Daniela knew it all. Fernanda, whom we only met on WhatsApp, great in every recommendation and detail. Do not hesitate to know Puebla and its history, but do not do it alone, hire Unlimited Experiences, you will surely not regret it.
¡MUCHAS GRACIAS POR TU COMENTARIO! Agradecemos la confianza y la oportunidad de compartir con ustedes unos maravillosos días. Nos alegra infinitamente saber que logramos el objetivo de hacerlos felices y que se lleven un bello y dulce recuerdo de nosotros y la Bella Puebla. Estaremos encantados de recibirlos nuevamente, siempre atendiendo cada detalle y solicitud. Les enviamos un fuerte y calido abrazo de parte de Emmanuel, Daniela, Fernanda y todo el Equipo Unlimited <3
We used Unlimited for 3 different tours and airport pick-up from CDMX. First, the pick-up was easy and punctual. The food tour and 2 custom private tours were fabulous. Susana was our guide on all 3 and can't say enough good things about her; informative, prepared, friendly, passionate about the topic, flexible, etc. Highly recommend!
Hi dear Erica! We are so happy because you enjoyed your experiences with us! Thank you for your review!Warm regards from Susana and all the Unlimited team.
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!
Hi dear Desire! We are so happy for your cute review! And we are happier because you enjoyed this experience with us!! We send you a lot of hugs and we will wait for your next visit! Warm regards from Susana and all the unlimited team!
