Booking tours in Puebla: what to know

Puebla’s historic centre is compact, and you can see its churches and museums on your own. Tours are worth it for the stories behind the buildings, for tasting the city’s food with someone who knows where to go, and for trips out of town to Cholula, the volcanoes, Atlixco and Cuetzalan.

Walking and food tours

A walking tour is the best way to start. A good guide explains the Talavera facades, the legends of the old streets and the gold of the Rosary Chapel. Food tours are just as popular: Puebla is one of Mexico’s great food cities, and a guide takes you to the market stalls and family places you might not find alone.

Day trips

Cholula is close enough to visit by Uber, but a tour adds a guide to the pyramid and often includes the painted village churches of Tonantzintla and Acatepec. For the volcanoes and Cuetzalan, a tour saves you a long or mountainous drive.

From Mexico City

Many visitors see Puebla on a day trip from Mexico City. It is a long day, with about two hours on the road each way, so choose a tour with enough time in Puebla and Cholula.

Puebla tours FAQ

Do I need a tour to see Puebla?

No. The historic centre is compact and easy to explore on foot, and most churches are free. A guide adds the history and legends, and tours make the most sense for food tasting and for trips to Cholula, the volcanoes or Cuetzalan.

Can I go inside the Great Pyramid of Cholula?

Archaeologists dug kilometres of tunnels through the pyramid, and a short section is sometimes open to visitors, along with the excavated plazas outside. Check before you go, as access can change. See our Cholula guide.

Can I climb Popocatépetl?

No. Popocatépetl is an active volcano, and climbing it has been banned since it woke up in 1994. You can drive to the Paso de Cortés between Popocatépetl and Iztaccíhuatl when the park is open, and experienced hikers can climb Iztaccíhuatl with a guide.

Are tours in English?

Many tours from Puebla and Mexico City are offered in English and Spanish. Check the language listed on the booking page before you book.

Can I cancel a tour if my plans change?

Many tours on Viator offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start time. Terms vary by tour, so check them on the booking page.
