A Satisfied Customer’s Review of Carlos Rivero Tours

Puebla driver/guide

My wife and I traveled to Puebla, Mexico, for five days during Cinco de Mayo and arranged transportation with Carlos Rivero before the trip. Carlos was easy to communicate with via WhatsApp and very quick to respond.

Cholula Tour

Carlos took us on a very informative tour of Cholula. He was a great tour guide and did a lot to tailor the tour to our needs, including conducting some of the tours in Spanish (and adapting his Spanish level to what we could understand) and some in excellent English.

The best guide to Cantona

Carlos took us on an incredible trip to Cantona today. The ruins are incredible and unique, and having Carlos talk us through the information was great. If anyone is thinking about visiting Cantona, I definitely recommend contacting Carlos; you'll have a great time!

Having fun with everyone

Carlos was an excellent host and tour guide during our stay in the beautiful, exciting, and delightful city and state of Puebla! With a friendly VW van pickup at the Mexico City airport, it was a seamless trip directly to our Puebla hotel for our party of four.

Great tour guide in the Puebla area

We spent a full day with Carlos touring the archaeological sites of Cacaxtla and Xochitecatl, and then the most notable sites in Tlaxcala. He's great company, speaks excellent English, and has an encyclopedic knowledge of the history and culture of the Puebla region.
