Amazing life of Monarch Butterflies - Absolutely amazing. I believe this is the first time I’ve ever rated anything on trip advisor as a 5 out of 5. So rest assured that I don’t hand out 5 stars lightly. The experience was a must see , the life of the monarchs are so amazing and to see them in such a large colony stunning. Rodrigo was a top notch and knowledgeable guide. It’s was an amazing trip of a lifetime in every way. Highly recommend you to add it to your bucket list.

Butterfly tour - Rodrigo is probably the best tour guide I have ever had, extremely knowledgeable and conscientious . I hope to be able to use him again.

Fabulous - We were fortunate to have Rodrigo as our guide. He made the trip a joy, showing care and concern for our needs the entire day. The visit to Sierra C. is absolutely worth a vist, and we arrived early so and had the whole place to ourselves. Although the monach population is down by over half, there were still plenty and watching them was mesmerizing. It just doesn't get much better!

Beautiful, loved seeing... - Beautiful, loved seeing the butterflies. Rode the horses which we would highly recommend. Hike after the horses was very strenuous.... but worth it!

A very memorable experience - We departed Morelia very early, at 06:30. As a result, we were the very first up the mountain and were able to view clusters of butterflies in the trees waiting for the weather to warm up. No one else was there to experience this. When the sun hit the branches where the cluster of butterflies were, they simultaneously dropped from the branches and flew towards us by the 1000’s. At this time, there were only a few other people present to see this. As we were leaving, larger tour groups were arriving who would have misses everything we experienced, it was great. Anyone planning a trip should try to book a private tour that leaves early and see how the monarchs reacted to a slight change in weather.

Fantastic tour!!!! - It was spectacular!!! Highly recommend. Rodrigo the tour guide was fabulous. Very knowledgeable about the area.

Rodrigo Rosales is fantastic!! - Rodrigo was fantastic & very informative. We talked not only all about the monarchs but also about everything Mexican. He was extremely knowledgeable & spoke English very well. I highly recommend him to anyone interested in all things Mexican.

A MUST excursion if you visit Morelia!! - Rodrigo Rosales of Yei Tours has curated an excellent day trip to visit the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary. Meticulously planned for your enjoyment, it kicks off with an early 6:30am start for several good reasons: 1) You skip heavy traffic getting there, 2) Parking isn’t an issue once you arrive, 3) You avoid the crowds that arrive later in the day (e.g. schools make this excursion part of their curriculum), 4) The butterflies are just beginning to wake up with the warmth of the sun so you get to see tree branches drooping with the weight of 4-5K monarchs, and 5) You return before the hot mid-day sun at an altitude of 11K feet bakes you into the landscape. Having worn shoes fit for a hike, we were nonetheless very appreciative that he offered hiking poles as most of the 3.5 km dirt path to see the butterflies has uneven surfaces (stones, tree roots) and moderate changes in elevation. He supplied us with water, carried a first aid kit for our safety, and provided a box lunch afterwards (sandwich, juice, and cookies). Rodrigo expertly navigated the hairpin curves on the mountain roads; his vehicle is immaculate and comfortable. He takes care of all the transportation from toll booths to entrance fees, etc. Honestly, all you have to do is show up to experience of one of the world’s most awe-inspiring natural wonders!!

Best tour! - I loved it all! The experience is really one of a kind and Rodrigo is the best guide ever! If you wanna see the monarchs during your stay in Morelia, this is the tour you should absolutely choose : - Rodrigo will pick you up early to make sure you’re the first one site to see the clusters. I saw that other visitors arrived too late to really see the clusters since the monarchs will disperse when the sun hits. - I could observe the clusters for an HOUR AND HALF! That’s so much more than the 20mn others visitors get. And the reason is you’ll be on site at 9am before everyone else show up. Sounds disturbs the monarchs, visitors are not allowed be too many (too loud) on the same spot + there’s not enough space anyways. - Spending so much time in total silence with the butterflies felt like a sacred experience and a privilege. - You will be escorted by the butterflies on your way back to the car. It means that you’ll get to experience both the quietness (on your way up and on site) + the liveliness of it all on your way back. - Rodrigo is the nicest, most helpful, passionate and knowledgeable guide. He even treats you with a lunch box to enjoy on your way back to your hotel. He was so nice to lend me his own binoculars and trekking pole. He really thinks about everything! He will provide you with fresh water from his cool bag. He also offered to keep the bottle of water I had on me in his cool bag for when we’d come back from the hike. I would definitely take his other tours next time I’m back in Morelia.

It was a fun experience. First time and last time . Done out my bucket list , not received for yung kids . - My personal opinion it was average , the weather was nice,the hike spectacular, Mother Nature never disappoints, how ever the drive it was no fun .
