Very interesting and recommended tour of the main archaeological sites of Michoacán - The tour was very good, we toured Tingambato, Iuatzio and Tzintzuntzan and finished by eating traditional michoacanas carnitas in a restaurant with a very rich taste much better than what in other states we are sold as michoacanas carnitas.
Rodrigo the Guide is a super punctual person, friendly and with a wide knowledge of the culture of Michoacan, at all times attentive to the questions one asked him apart that has general historical knowledge that make the tour very enjoyable, highly recommended and in short I will contact him again for when I want to make the tour in the mere Morelia since for reasons of time I could not perform.

A very interesting tour with an amazing guide - The tour was interesting and our guide, Rodrigo Rosales, was amazing. He is passionate about history and very knowledgeable. His English is perfect, and he kept us enthralled with his stories about the past and present Mexico. I would highly recommend him.

FANTASTIC TOUR AND GUIDE - Rodrigo is a FANTASTIC tour guide! He knows so much about the history of these sites, and he will bring it alive for you. He is an engaging, enthusiastic, interesting conversationalist, and the sites themselves are unique in their own ways. I've traveled all over Mexico and have never seen anything quite like these ancient treasures.

Great tour--Great guide - I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in history or archeology. All three sites were interesting and the time spent at each was just right. Rodrigo was the perfect guide--good at communicating before trip, extremely knowledgeable and willing and able to answer all my questions. Lunch was the best carnitas I have had.

Excellent & Incredible! - I've always been intrigued by Purépecha culture, although my knowledge has been quite porous, but this tour helped me fill the missing gaps. Rodrigo is an incredible tour guide. He's very articulate & answered all my questions about the culture which I appreciate. Next time I'm around in Morelia I will absolutely book another one of Yei Tours

Unique, detailed, & fun tour of Purhépecha & Indigenous Mexican history. Solo female traveler approved! - This tour was amazing!! I had so much fun hearing very intricate details about these sites. Every little detail was thought of and covered. I’ve never learned so much in one day before! I felt very comfortable and looked after as a solo female traveler. I wanted to research this Indigenous history on my own & quickly realized how difficult that would be. This tour took the headache out of attempting to organize that, and I learned more than if I read hundreds of articles myself. Rodrigo of Yei Tours was above and beyond wonderful. He problem solved an issue we encountered very quickly to ensure I was able to see everything. Not to mention having snacks/drinks at the perfect time. He was very knowledgeable with my millions of questions, and never tired of sharing more details. Don’t hesitate, just book! You’ll have an amazing time.

Wonders of Pre-colonial Mexico - Amazing day learning about pre-colonial central Mexico!!! I highly recommend Rodrigo (of Yei Tours) for this 6-7 hour adventure into cultures few understand. Rodrigo was punctual, conversational, personal, informative, patient, and an expert in English and Spanish. What a day we had!
He was so good we also hired Rodrigo for a Monarch Butterfly tour a couple days later.
