My husband and I really enjoyed the tour, especially the cooking class, and learning more about original Mexican cooking, pre-Spanish influences. I would definitely recommend. Such a unique experience.

Absolutely book this! So unique! Carmen is incredible and so knowledgeable and the food was delicious! It was even hands on and we loved every minute of it! If you are in the area don’t miss out!
I was initially contemplating the pyramids tour only but so glad we did this instead- next level experience!

Carmen and Jaime were fantastic hosts to this wonderful experience! We checked all our Cholula visit boxes, plus more than we imagined with how delicious and inventive the food was. Carmen shared so much historical knowledge, and didn't seem to mind when we kept needing to take breaks on our way up to the church (phew!). Jaime's food and presentation skills made it feel like we were at a private michelin star restaurant. This tour felt unique and "off the beaten path." Both hosts made us feel comfortable and it was great getting to know them, Cholula, and a bit of food history.

This was a really cool experience… first you get to walk up the pyramid while Carmen explains the history and all the things, then explore the church followed by a 15 min walk through a neighborhood to their beautiful home where you then get to enjoy different foods with wonderful explanations and be served on Carmen’s handmade pottery and drink the best Pulque. I really enjoyed this even doing this solo and it was a wonderful time getting to experience a small part of Cholula

This was really an amazing experience! Carmen is very knowledgeable about the history of the Pyramid and the culture. We also learned so much from Jaime about pre Hispanic cooking and of course it was delicious! highly recommend this experience!
