I went on this tour on a while and do not regret the decision. Although I had only an hour to city the beautiful city of Puebla because I arrived from Veracruz that day and the traffic was quite heavy, it was a very delightful tour. I got to see the most important sites (for me) including the Loreto Forts, the side of the Battle of 5 de Mayo under the commander of Gen. Ignacio Zaragoza.
But beyond the beautiful sites were also the beautiful people I came across--like the ticket lady who told me where to get off the bus in order to catch my bus back to Veracruz; the tour bus driver who stopped at that stop to let me off the bus and also told me on which part of the street I must stand in order to catch the right taxi or bus to the Central bus station; the security lady at that bus station who did not only help me buy my ticket to get on the city transit bus that would drop me off next to the central bus station, but also helped me to get on that transit bus when it arrived.
Thanks to her and the tour bus driver actions, I was able to make it to the Veracruz bus station and get on my bus with 3 minutes to spare.
They are just some of the few Mexicans who went out of their way to make my visit to Mexico so pleasant. Of course, it helped that I speak the language fluently, but I am sure those people would have provided the exact same help to non-Spanish speakers.
I strongly recommend visiting Puebla if you ever find yourself in México because the city is so beautiful and full of history.
