Fun but maybe too long

Lauren_M, Oct 2022

Really enjoyed walking around and chatting with our guide. I enjoyed trying the food from Puebla or at least the Poblano version of things. I think it would have been more interesting to spend time in a market talking about ingredients specific to the food. Additionally, we didn't try mole which is a specialty of Puebla and probably the most famous one. But overall, had a good time.

Response from Host, Oct 2022

Dear Lauren: Thanks for chosing Tip Tours & DMC for your experience. We are glad to know you had a good time in your tour. Thank you for your coments, we will take them into consideration to improve the tour. We will also check what happened witho Mole, beacuse it is a "must" in this tour. Best regards,

Getting to Know Puebla’s Culinary History

I’m a vegetarian and was wondering if they would be able to accommodate me. And I was surprised how professional the tour guide was. Miguel was very flexible and even went beyond his normal routine. He brought me to Super Mole Belen to see how they prepare their mole and to tip it off he also brought me to Exconvento de Santa Rosa where Sor Asunción prepared the very first Mole Podlano. Of course, I paid for my entrance as it was not included in the excursion. But, Miguel thank you so much for all the trouble. I will never forget the experience . I would have given you seven stars if they would allow it.

Dear Amado: Thanks a lot for your comments. We are glad to know that you had a great experience. We hope to see you soon back in Puebla.

Our guide exceeded our expectations. He was a delight and a wealth of information. His knowledge of Mexican cuisine was exceptional. We felt blessed to have this gentleman as our guide.

This tour on our first day in Puebla...

John M, Jan 2017

This tour on our first day in Puebla laid the foundation for a wonderful visit. Our guide Alejandra introduced us to the best local cuisine in Mexico, but also to some of the best sites including the Rosary Chapel and its Mexican form of baroque design. Alejandra is a native poblana with excellent English and a friendly and cheerful attitude. I recommend her for English and Spanish speakers alike.
