The guided tour begins at Puebla Town Square at the scheduled time, next to the central fountain. From there, the tour explores the connections between Mexico and Europe, highlighting the facade of Puebla Cathedral, which displays Herrerian architectural style from 16th-century Spain.

The Spanish influence is also evident in the Palafoxiana Library. Participants will view its main entrance and learn about the history of this significant archive, one of the earliest built in the Americas. After the free tour, there will be time for independent exploration, including notable locations like the Regional Museum of the Mexican Revolution.

The tour continues to the Church of San Francisco, the first convent established in the city. Participants will visit the artisanal market of El Parián and the famous Alley of the Frogs, with explanations on the origin of the name provided by the guide.

To conclude, the tour will visit the grounds of Santo Domingo Church and the Chapel of the Rosary, both regarded as colonial gems in Puebla's historic centre. The guided tour lasts two and a half hours, finishing in the streets of the historic area.
