Es la muestra del Barroco popular en su máxima expresión. El emplo es del Siglo XVI y "Tonanzintla" significa "Lugar de nuestra madrecita". En la cultura prehispánica Tonantzi es uno de los nombres de la diosa del maiz y está asociada a la protección de los hombres.

A beautiful light of hope

5.00The experience in the cathedral was wonderful, excellent and exotic food like crickets and other species, a lot of variety in the market
Disappointed.

2.00This tour is mostly an uncomfortable ride with a canned Spanish audio track. The church stops are amazing but too short in duration. Three hours on your own of “fun time” in the afternoon is something to be endured, particularly on a slow day in a fairly ordinary town.
Comfortable and economical

4.00Convenient transfer to Cholula with stops at a couple of magnificent churches and then stop for a couple of hours in the main square, from where you can also walk to the pyramid. Pre-recorded microphone explanations with some additions from the driver (there is no guide on board). At times very difficult to understand what it says, given the high noise of the bus and traffic. We returned to Puebla after about 6 hours. Excellent value for money
Insider views on this “magic town”

5.00Our guide lives in Cholula and described what we were seeinf with brilliant insights. Not only did we learn facts, but also history and philosophies. She explained the connections between indigenous beliefs and devotional Catholicism brought to the Americas by the Spanish. The former informs the latter as well as social mores and ways of life in the many communities in Cholula and in Puebla. . She shared her knowledge of art and architectural history and of religion articulately.

4.00The tour narration is pre-recorded. So if you sign up for Spanish, it is Spanish only. The tour took us past several of the area churches and stopped at two for us to visit. It also stopped at the central square of Cholula at the end so you have 2.5-3 hours to explore on your own.
Nice getaway

5.00Excellent service and attention. The departure and return was on time. It really is a good choice for a work stress escape. You don't worry about driving, just enjoying yourself.
Cholula and Atlixco and a visit to the smallest volcano in the world

5.00Our tour was excellent! We went to Cholula, Atlixco, and Cuexomate. Our guide, Myriam, was great also. We booked it for a reasonable price
Good tour but the return is a danger!
Sara S,Jun 7, 2025

3.00It lasts 5 hours: one hour round trip, two hours on the bus (with tram facade) that stops at emblematic places and gives you 15 to 20 min to explore them, then it is two hours that give you free to have lunch and climb to the sanctuary. So far I think the tour is worth it! However, the return is in a pink double-decker bus and is the reason why I downgrade to three stars. The driver tells you that you can climb but upstairs is a real terror as the city light wires, signs and traffic lights pass too close. The return journey seems a danger to me, it should not be allowed to go on the second floor of the bus.
The driver -guide was very unfriendly, smartly and Un respectful
