The tour guide and driver were good. I went on Tuesday and the pyramid was closed. Book this tour Wednesday or later7

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Thank you for your feedback! 💬 We’re happy to hear you had a good experience with both the guide and the driver — they’ll be glad to know it! 🚐✨ We’re sorry the pyramid was closed on the day of your visit — it’s true that some archaeological sites like this one close on Mondays or Tuesdays, depending on local regulations.

Learning about the history and culture of Cholula was great! Andrea was very informative and was able to answer all of our questions and gave us fantastic information about the area.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Hi Michelle. Glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour. Greetings and we hope to see you again.

Excellent tour!

Susan_K, Jul 2024
Alexa was a wonderful guide. Very knowledgeable about the history of Cholula and also Puebla. My brother and I learned a great deal about the site, including the church that sits above the ruins. We are both in our 70's and I was pretty slow. Alexa was very patient and encouraging. I am so glad we took this tour. Also, 2 more excellent churches were included and we had mezcal and tequilla tastings, too. Highly recommend the service of Alexa and our driver, Alberto!

Okay tour

Michael_B, Mar 2024
Tour was okay. Saw the pyramid and churches. Felt the tour guide could have been a little more enthusiastic. The driver was good. Felt some free time could have been given in Cholula given we drove through the town.

Fabulous tour! Damian was such a kind and interesting tour guide with excellent English. We saw the museum, pyramid, and two churches and also stopped at a small store with lovely Talavera pottery at an excellent price. Damian was full of stories and interesting explanations about everything we saw. He was a fount of knowledge. We’d love to take more tours with him in the future. The driver was also safe, courteous, and very kind.

Magic town of Cholula

The BEST way to see Cholula

John_D, Jan 2024
This tour was through Unlimited Puebla. Pablo and David were wonderful guides. They had very deep knowledge of Cholula, the Pyramid, and the indigenous cultures. They took me to this very special church which illustrated indigenous Baroque art. Also, stopped at a talavera tile factory where the wonderful proprietor greeted us and explained the process of creating talavera pottery and tile. Highly highly recommend this tour especially for solo travelers.

Response from Host, Jan 2024

Hi John :) Thank you so much for your comment. We are glad that the experience with Pablo and David was unforgettable. Our entire team strives to make each tour unique and enjoy every moment. Thank you for your trust.

Great tour with Pablo

Leo_P, Dec 2023
Great tour with personal insights from Pablo. We really appreciated our guide and the backstories of all the sites we visited. The pyramid is monumental and the churches are all unique. Having a tour guide adds tremendous context and understanding to the experience

An unforgettable private tour . Susanna and Rodrigo were punctual for morning pickup from our hotel. Clean new car. Rodrigo, our private tour guide was experienced, knowledgeable and personable. Loved the tour of the pyramid the most. He even arranged for a perfectly timed smoking of the volcano ! :) don’t do this tour on your own . This private tour is a must !

Excellent tour guide, Olivia, has a wealth of knowledge about the ancient history of Puebla. She's like a talking encyclopedia.

Hello, Keith! Thank you so much for your comment! We are glad to know that you enjoyed your tour with Olivia. She is very happy and grateful for your comment and it was a pleasure meeting you and sharing a morning. Kind regards from Olivia and Unlimited Team!!

Fantastic private tour with friendly guide.

LidiaGisela_M, Jan 2023
Had a fantastic private tour to Cholula, our guide Olivia was most knowledgeable, friendly, patient, kind and perfect English, answering all our questions and giving us enough time to browse and shop. We had such a great time and felt very comfortable that we asked her if she could do our next tour the following day. Our driver Emanuel has very nice although a bit quiet. The car we were traveling in could have been a bit bigger and although we were offered a different car for next day we decided to keep the same one. All in all this is great tour that highlights the best of Cholula with fantastic guide.

Response from Host, Jan 2023

Hello Lidia! Thank you for your comment is very cute <3 I am glad to know you enjoyed your tour with Olivia and Emmanuel. Thank you for sharing your time with us. We hope to see you again and share more experiences. Warm regards from Olivia, Emmanuel, and Unlimited Team

One of the amazing trips...

One of the amazing trips we ever did. Ariel, our tour guide has demonstrated knowledge and patience throughout the entire tour. He was very polite, punctual and had shown dedication towards his job. We had a very good experience with Ariel.

Response from Host, May 2022

Dear Fortune, Ariel is very happy to hear that, thank you so much for taking this tour, all the Unlimited Experiences team send you warm regards hoping to see you once again to continue discovering Puebla

Chocolate disappointment

Thomas_B, Apr 2022
The guide Ronnie was excellent. However the cholula experience was underwhelming. You cannot go in the pyramid and very little of the pyramid has been excavated.

Response from Host, Apr 2022

Hi, there dear Thomas, Ronnie is very happy about your comment regarding him, nevertheless, It is a difficult situation to be in the pyramid but we couldn't do anything. On the other hand, all the Unlimited team were very happy with your visit, we had several incredible days with both of you.

Excellent tour

Cathelijne_J, Feb 2022

Cholula experience

Shawn_W, Dec 2020
My guide, David, was very knowledgeable and pleasant. The tour was shorter than expected. I would have enjoyed more time walking around Cholula. I did enjoy trying the roasted grasshoppers for an morning snack.

Response from Host, Dec 2020

Hello dear Shawn, thanks for your important review! We are so happy for your experience with us!! Warm regards from all Unlimited Team

Cholula Trip...worth your while!

1xxdhbutter, Feb 2020
Our guide Susannah was knowledgeable professional and friendly. Pick up at our hotel was easy. The sites visited (pyramid, churches, local drink tasting and visits to local handicraft shops were fun and interesting. I’d recommend highly. I’ve never been disappointed with a Viator tour.

The tour and David, the guide, was excellent. The temples and base of the pyramid (David explains that quite well) were exceptional. I highly recommend both the tour and guide.
