Excellent tour!
Mary took us on our tour and was very kind, with interesting commentary and excellent customer service. We had time to get to know the places and shop at our leisure. In Puebla, the guide Ángel joined us, who was very friendly and knew the history of the places we visited very well. I would do a tour with them again without hesitation!

Friends traveling peacefully
Very pleasant, they picked us up on time, explained the route to us, and gave us time to shop and explore the towns calmly. They gave us advice and made us feel comfortable at all times!

Great destinations, but could use more free time
The guides who transported us throughout the day were very nice, courteous, and genuinely kind people. We really appreciated how pleasant and professional they were. That said, the tour itself felt a little too much like a school field trip at times. There were certainly portions where being with the group and following the guide was necessary, but I would have preferred more free time to explore Puebla on our own and experience the city at our own pace. I also would have preferred more independence during lunch. Even if everyone is eating at the same buffet restaurant, I think allowing guests to enjoy lunch on their own rather than staying together as a group would make the experience feel more relaxed. Overall, the destinations were beautiful and worth seeing, and our guides were wonderful people. I just think the tour would be much better with a little more flexibility and personal time built into the itinerary.
Response from the operator: Hi Neftaly, thank you so much for choosing us for this tour. We understand your problem about the independency in the tour, but this is a shared tour and we have an Itinerary to complete. Also please keep in mind that we are traveling to really beautiful places and we really care about your enjoyment but we also care about you and your security. If you want more independency to select the place you want to go and the time you want to stay, I kindly recommend you a private tour; in that tour we are more flexible with the itinerary. About the lunch time, we need to make sure that everybody in the group get their lunch and that we are complete. This is also a buffet and as you saw, we are not the only group that were taking lunch, so for policies of the restaurant, we always need to take the lunch together. We are really happy that you chose us, and sorry for any inconvenience.

Unforgettable experience

The pickup logistics were not the best. Mr. Tomas was very patient and kind. Val'Quirico is a beautiful place, it completely deserves a visit. It's a shame they don't give more time. Cholula has one of the most beautiful churches I visited on this trip. Puebla. Beautiful, although we didn't have time to visit it either, an hour flew by.

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Puebla, Cholula and Val’Quirico Day Tour from CDMX: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Mexico City.
How much does Puebla, Cholula and Val’Quirico Day Tour from CDMX cost?
+
Prices start at $121 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Mexico City usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Puebla, Cholula and Val’Quirico Day Tour from CDMX take?
+
Plan for about 10 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Mexico City is not rushed.
Is Puebla, Cholula and Val’Quirico Day Tour from CDMX worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Mexico City, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Puebla, Cholula and Val’Quirico Day Tour from CDMX?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Puebla, Cholula and Val’Quirico Day Tour from CDMX suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Puebla, Cholula and Val’Quirico Day Tour from CDMX?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Mexico City can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Mexico City and add a light layer if any part of the 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Puebla, Cholula and Val’Quirico Day Tour from CDMX start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Mexico City within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Mexico City?
+
On Outty we rank every Mexico City experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Teotihuacan 3 Pyramids Tour + Hotel Pick Up + Lunch at La Gruta, Teotihuacan pyramids morning or afternoon without tourist traps, Historic Center Essentials: Mexico City Downtown Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Mexico City?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Mexico City?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Puebla, Cholula and Val’Quirico Day Tour from CDMX?

Not included: Lunch; Personal expenses and purchases in the craft market; Tips; and Services not specified in “Includes”. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

+
