What an amazing tour!! We wish we could have done this at the very beginning of our time in Morelia, since there were so many things Rodrigo pointed out to us that we had simply walked past previously. Rodrigo is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about the history of this beautiful city. So happy we booked this!
Yolanda_W, Mar 2024
We learned so much of the history and the culture. Morelia is more interesting than I had first thought. The pace was excellent.

Rodrigo is an exceptional guide. He is the ideal person to get to know the city. He delights you with the history, culture and traditions of Morelia. He also gives you great culinary recommendations, as well as other valuable advice. He is always willing to help and please you. He is really a person who enjoys his work, and his knowledge is immense. Thanks Rodrigo, we were delighted and had a lot of fun. As they say in my homeland Galicia, Spain “ Morelia Mola” (Morelia Rocks).

So glad to have scheduled this walking tour as a first day introduction to Morelia. Rodrigo provided my wife and I with a highly educational overview of the city dating back to the 1500s. Having an incredibly well-informed local guide like Rodrigo take you around Morelia is a special treat, as he offers valuable insights into the history, culture and architecture of Morelia. The walk itself was also quite enjoyable. Cannot recommend enough.
Response from Host, Mar 2024

Rodrigo sounds like the perfect guide to kick off your exploration, providing such an educational overview dating back to the 1500s. His insights into the city's history, culture, and architecture must have been fascinating! And it's awesome to hear that the walk itself was enjoyable too. Thanks for posting this review! We can't wait to welcome you back for more adventures in Morelia!
Donald_P, Feb 2024
We were so impressed with the time that Rodrigo took to explain the history of Morelia and, in particular, the different sites that we toured with him. As a tourist, we could have walked around and enjoyed the views but not appreciate the significance of many of them. He was very thoughtful to suggest restaurants that we might enjoy and gave us ideas about other activities to do while visiting this beautiful city. I would highly recommend him if you are visiting this city for the first time…we want to come back to experience even more because of him!
Response from Host, Mar 2024

It's those thoughtful touches like restaurant recommendations and activity suggestions that make the tour so special and enriching. We're thrilled that Rodrigo's guidance has left you eager to return and explore even more of this beautiful city. Thanks a lot for taking your time to write your review! We can't wait to welcome you back for more adventures!
