A Must do Tour - We booked this tour for our family during our trip to Morelia. Our guide was Rodrigo Rosales with Yei Tours. He was able to give us the history of all the sites with enough knowledge to keep us captivated throughout the day. We had taken the Morelia walking tour with Rodrigo and he did not disappoint on this second tour, highly recommend him as your tour guide. It was amazing to see all the historical sights that were included in this tour from the archeological site, to the hands on experience from the maestro in Santa Clara de Cobre and the authentic and delicious lunch at Once Patios restaurant and getting to meet Chef Isrrael. You cannot go wrong with this tour. Highly recommend it.

Rodrigo took us on this... - Rodrigo took us on this tour and the Urupam tour. He’s an amazing tour guide that has so much information and knowledge of each place we visited. You can tell he puts a lot of time and effort into making sure you understand the cultural significance of each place you go. We absolutely loved going to Santa Clara and visiting a local copper factory where they did a demonstration on how copper is hand transformed into unique pieces. We also enjoyed the historic significance of Tzintzuntan and how the Purepechua empire was just as important to Mexico and the Aztecs and Mayans. We also loved walking around Patzacuaro and eating a nice lunch there.
If you’re in Morelia this tour is an absolute must.

100% removable - Splendid tour. The guide, Rodrigo, friendly, knowledgeable about the history and culture of Michoacán, answered all our questions. Time passed like water but we were able to enjoy the archaeological zone of Tzin Tzun Tzan, Santa Clara del Cobre and Pátzcuaro, in this last stop, with a typical and very tasty meal (including the famous gelatin cakes). Very enjoyable and we hope to return soon to see more of that beautiful state.

Beautiful Magic Towns - There is nothing better to get to know Michoacán than visiting its magical towns. To enjoy this magnificent experience, there is nothing better than doing it with a professional. Rodrigo is the right person for this type of events. He is very attentive and seems to enjoy sharing his extensive knowledge about the culture and history of these towns and their people. Tzintzuntzan, Santa Clara and Pátzcuaro are a must-see when traveling to Morelia. Through Rodrigo we were able to learn, among many other things, about the greatness of another of the important ethnic groups in Mexico, the Purépechas, who never bowed to the Aztecs and that to this day preserves their identity and many of its customs. I definitely recommend this tour, my family and I had a really good time.

This tour is worth enjoying. Thank you Rodrigo for your kindness

Great time in Michoacan - I already submitted a review on Viator for this tour, but it’s so great that I’m leaving a review here as well!
On this tour, we learned a lot about history of Mexico and the state of Michoacan. It allowed us to see more of Michoacan, which would be rather complicated on our own. Rodrigo is a great guide and tour operator, all the places we visited were very worth it. It’s a private tour, which surprised us since there are some group tours in Mexico that would cost you much more than this PRIVATE tour where you get such a knowledge tour guide all to your self to ask any questions you want

The best experience! - My husband and I had the best time exploring the villages of Michoacan! Rodrigo is such a knowledgeable person! You can see that he loves his job, his state, and his country. We also ate at a restaurant owned by one of the people who presented Mexican food of Michoacan to UNESCO! Rodrigo knows all the right places, book his tour if you want to learn about Michoacan and experience it with a great local guide!

Great day trip! - The tour is a great mix of history, site seeing and shopping! Rodrigo was very knowledgeable and willing to share his love of the area. He was patient and took his time at each place as we had both English and Spanish speaking travelers. It was a great way to see the area around Morelia!
