I’m just a "normal Mexican woman", but with a deep love for my country and a passion for sharing its beauty and history with others. From a young age, I’ve been captivated by Mexico’s rich traditions, vibrant culture, amazing landscapes, and, of course, its fascinating history and gastronomy. My passion for these topics led me to become a tour guide, where I get to connect people with the heart and soul of Mexico, making their experience something memorable and meaningful. As a certified tour guide, I specialize in offering customized, personal tours that meet the unique interests and needs of my clients.

Overview of your Puebla tour

Let’s visit Cholula, a destination where history and tradition blend beautifully. Here you’ll find the largest pyramid in the world, which at first glance looks like a hill crowned by the Sanctuary of Our Lady of the Remedies. Cholula is an essential stop in the Puebla region, not only for its impressive archaeological legacy but also for its extraordinary number of churches. Beyond its temples, Cholula is considered the oldest continuously inhabited city in the Americas, a place where past and present coexist in vibrant harmony. Nearby, in Santa María Tonantzintla, visitors can admire one of the most fascinating examples of cultural fusion: an indigenous baroque church where native artistry and Christian symbolism merge in dazzling detail, making it a true jewel of syncretism. Please note: The archaeological site is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. On those days, the tour will focus on exploring the site from the outside.

Alejandra was an absolutely amazing guide. She is kind, personable, knowledgeable. She smiles a lot! Her deep knowledge of all things Pubela and Cholula are admirable. She welcomes questions and will have conversations with you about local history, etc. We toured with her for two days. We travel the world, and she is hands-down one of the best guides we have ever had. I would 100% recommend her.

Alejandra is one of the best Tours by Locals guides we have had anywhere. Knowledgeable, flexible, kind. Don't miss her Cholula tour or any other of the tours she offers. She added so much to our trip in unscripted details that made it so memorable.

Alejandra was prompt, professional, friendly, knowledgeable, and very accommodating for our tour of Cholula. We couldn't have gotten to know the area in the short amount of time we had without her. We especially enjoyed some of the hidden experiences that only a local knows about and understands. Highly recommended.

Alejandra was the perfect guide for our group. She has an extensive knowledge of history and has the ability to convey information in an entertaining way. We explored Cholula and enjoyed our time with her. We highly recommend her to others.

Alejandra picked us up in a nice clean van and arrived ahead of our bus arrival at Plaza San Diego in Cholula. She led us through ruins, churches and markets in the area, of which she is very knowledgeable. We certainly saw things we would have missed on our own. Specifically, we are glad we had her lead us through the tunnels through the pyramid because they are a bit claustrophobic and with her we knew where we were and when we would get out. We enjoyed our time time with her and would do it again.
