        Travis Adventures knocked it out of the park!
        Travis Adventures was wonderful! They arranged an alternate meeting location to avoid the Day of the Dead parade traffic, then brought us to the Anahuacalli Museum and finally to Xochimilco! The tour guides were awesome, told us about the traditions and history, told stories and sang haunting songs while on the canals! It was a great experience!

        Excellent service
        I discovered Travis Adventures through civitatis.com when looking to book a late night taxi from Mexico City airport to my hotel. I was very pleased. Communication was great, the driver was personable and knowledgeable (we picked his brain during the ride). The initial taxi experience led me to book a really special tour with them, as well as my return trip to the airport.

        Great value, 1000% worth it if you like nature
        Having visited several Pueblos Magicos in Mexico, this one was our favorite. The scenery throughout the trip was great but the waterfalls were absolutely stunning. There were quite a bit of sites packed into this one tour, great value! Our tour guide Ulises was very personable and did great at making the tour very special for us.

        Valle de Bravo
        I took the day trip from CDMX to Valle de Bravo and it was a great experience. The guide, Ulysess, was very knowledgeable and took us to some amazing places with great views of the valley and the lake. If you only have 1 day to go to Valle de Bravo I recommend this tour.

        Highly recommended
        An exceptional tour - as a single traveller, I initially couldn't book this trip, but by contacting and keeping in touch with Francisco from Travis Adventures, we were able to sort out a date whereby I could join another group. The caves are astonishing and Taxco is a little gem of a place, albeit very busy at this time of the year. Ulises, our guide for the day, was extremely courteous, very knowledgeable and we felt completely at ease with him. A big part of the day is the driving, but that shouldn't be a deterrent to booking this trip. An excellent trip all round.

        A+ experience with fantastic guide and beautiful butterflies!
        This was one of the best tours ever! Ulises should win a gold medal for how excellent of a tour guide he is. Friendly, incredibly knowledge, so kind. We went to Valle de Bravo and additionally the nearby butterfly sanctuary. That was a magical experience. I recommend anyone coming to Mexico to book this very tour with Ulises and with the option of going to see the butterfly migration. You won't regret it.

        Worth the day trip!
        This was a very unique tour and definitely worth the 3 hour drive in the car. The tour guide, Ulises, was very friendly, a great guide, and translator. The city of Taxco had beautiful architecture and rich history. The caves were gorgeous, although a bit of a trek :) Highly recommend!

        Best Tour Guide Ever!
        Our tour guide was Ulysses and he was amazinggg!! We lucked out because we booked a shared tour to the Caves + Taxco, but it was only us so it turned into a private tour. :) We were stuck in traffic, but Ulysses was flexible and made sure we were able to see as much as possible. You can sense his passion for his country’s history and culture. He is very knowledgeable in this aspect and I enjoyed every bit of it! We all agreed that he went above and beyond to make our experience the best. Muchas gracias, Ulysses! Tu eres el mejor! 👍

        Don’t miss this one!
        We had the most amazing time- this trip was even better than described. Ulises was fun and accommodating, as well as knowledgeable. We stopped in Huasca which looked like it was straight out of a hallmark movie. Then we went to the basaltic prisms which were even better than in the photos. After that we went to the canyon and even got to zip line across part of it. On Ulises suggestion we got quesadillas made by the local vendors and they were amazing, I’ll be dreaming of them for years. After that we stopped in Real de Monte which was also beautiful and we tried some Pastes. This is a don’t miss if you’ve got more than a few days in CDMX.

        Interesting Caves that are worth a visit.
        Enormous caves that are interesting to walk through. Guides are knowledgeable but check they have one that speaks English. Zipline to entrance was fun too.

      After many reviews of the Puebla tours criticized the fact that the time there is too short, we decided on this private tour. And to make it short - we loved it. Our guide Ulises entertained us with information about the country, people, history, politics, volcanoes, churches and much more related to Cholula, Pueblo and Mexico as a whole from the time we were picked up at the hotel. He has adapted the tour, content and duration to our interests, questions and photo needs. For lunch he recommended us several places (European, Mexican...). The traditional Mexican restaurant we chose even adapted the delicious food to us (vegetarians). After visiting the incredible cathedral we strolled through the beautiful downtown Puebla and he showed us some specialties there without any “must-shop-here” ulterior motive. Thank you for the great day!

      This was one of the most amazing tours we have taken in Mexico. Ulises and Alesandro were fantastic guides and so very helpful.

      Ulises was our driver and guide for the afternoon. He was so knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge and connections with the area. We got wonderful information about the local area and customs along with amazing advice about food to try. He even helped facilite buying some art which was truely helpful and appreciated.

      Smooth operation. Tour Guide Ulysses was very professional, spoke outstanding English, excellent knowledge of all of the tour stops, plus Alberto as the guide at the pyramid was also superb.

      Love the sedan tour beats the bus tours anyday.

      The tunnels are not open and will probably not open anymore due to erosion as an FYI.

      5 star experience from pick up to drop off and everything else in between.

      Overall, the trip went smoothly. The only reason I am not giving this tour a 5 star rating was because of 2 things.

      1. We were a group of 4 adults and we were driven in a small compact car. The 2 hour drive to and from Puebla from Mexico City was a bit comfortable. When I asked our driver if there was a bigger car, he said a bigger vehicle was not able/not in service that day.
      2. When we got to the center of Puebla, our guide didn't know much about the city as we had a lot of questions that he just didn't know the answer to.

      I was happy to be driven in a car to Cholula and Puebla as we could travel than a bus. Cholula was great with our guide Alberto. He even took us to the market to try tacos de cecina! But the Puebla portion was just okay. Our guide for that portion didn’t really know much English (even though we chose an English guide) so we didn’t get the history or knowledge of the city/places visited. It would have been better to drop us off and let us eat and explore on our own for a few hours. But he was a great driver at least.

      This was one of the best tours that we have ever taken. Having travelled extensively to over 35 countries, I can honestly say that this tour was one of our favorites. Ulysis and Alberto are outstanding guides with a vast knowledge on the history and culture of Mexico, and Cholula and Puebla in particular. Highlights of the tour include climbing to the top of the worlds largest pyramid in Cholula, an amazing authentic Mexican meal in Puebla, and seeing ash spew from the Popocatepetl volcano. Ulysis and Alberto both are just amazing people with a great passion for their country and life in general. Both were so kind and they really made the trip memorable. Highly recommend!

      Fantastic tour. Ulises was early, picked us up at our Sonder. We had beautiful views of the mountains on the way to Cholula. The tour of the archeological site with Alberto was great, though we were a little disappointed that the tunnel is closed to tourists.
      The city of Puebla is beautiful, and we appreciated the laid back pace.

      Great experience all around. The driver/guide was very pleasant, provided useful explanations and pointers, but did not overload us. The local guide in Cholula was exceptionally knowledgeable and friendly. Both were very flexible, willing to change itinerary a bit - we were interested in seeing a particular church complex and they were happy to do that instead of one of the scheduled churches.
      The tour of Pueble included stops in several arts/crafts/candy shops, but more to look-see - there was absolutely no pressure to buy anything from our guide and we were moving along at our own pace. This was a stark contrast in a positive way compared to large group tours we took with a different company.

      One technical note about booking - it is not clear from the website if you are booking a private or group tour and the confirmation email gives incorrect information (including outdated phone numbers). We resolved this by calling the company a couple times to confirm/verify. I would recommend anybody wishing to book to call first and then proceed with online booking, then follow up with another call.

      Overall a great experience and I would highly recommend Travis Adventures to anyone who wishes to have a quality personalized touring experience.
