Beautiful Magic Towns

Jose_M, Mar 2024

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.

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!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Hey Kseniia! Sounds like you and your husband had an absolute blast exploring the villages of Michoacan with Rodrigo! His passion for his job, state, and country definitely shines through, doesn't it? And hitting up a restaurant with such a cool UNESCO connection? Talk about a culinary adventure! Thanks for the awesome recommendation. We are sure tours guided by Rodrigo are the perfect way to dive into Michoacan's culture!

Great day trip!

Jerod_W, Dec 2023

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!

Response from Host, Mar 2024

Hey Jerod! Sounds like you had the ultimate tour experience with Rodrigo! Mixing history, sightseeing, and a bit of shopping sounds like the perfect recipe for a memorable day. And kudos to Rodrigo for being so accommodating to both English and Spanish speakers, that's what we call top-tier hospitality! Thanks for sharing your awesome adventure. Here's to more great times exploring the area around Morelia!

Highly recommend

Very nice combo between culture and history tour! This parts of Mexico is hard to see themselves. Rodrigo is very professional guide.

Awesome Michoacán Pueblos Experience

Clara_A, Apr 2021

We had a wonderful time visiting these pueblos mágicos. Rodrigo made our experience a very unique and personalized. He is a very knowledgeable about the history of Michoacán plus a very pleasant personality to spend the day with. We ended the day with a delicious lunch of Cocina Tradicional with one of the best chefs of the region, and of course some shopping in Patzcuaro. These pueblos are so close to Morelia that we did not spend a lot of time on the road. I highly recommend to take this tour.

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Thank you so much for your recommendation, Clara, it was without a doubt a great day full of amazing memories. We wish you went back home in love with Michoacan such as we. Please give us a call next time you are in town, we are sure we can arrange another amazing adventure.
