Wonderful trip to Patzcuaro, visiting the archaeological site of Tzintzantzun, boat trip to Janitzo island, plus a great lunch and a couple hours visiting Patzcuaro town. Rodrigo is a fantastic guide, perfect English and very knowledgeable of the history, culture and food of Michoacan. Highly recommended!
Rodrigo is a great guide! The tour was wonderful, ours included the amazing pre-Columbian Tzintzuntzan with round pyramids! Great view of the lake from there. Then a very scenic drive with views of the islands to a copper studio. Amazing artisans showing us the steps to create this historic artwork. Lunch was in Patzcuaro at a charming local restaurant. Rodrigo then led us about the town square and into some of the “Eleven Patios” that were cloistered courtyards. I was able to get some lovely textiles and embroidered clothing as gifts. Highly recommend.
Rodrigo was a great and outstanding local guide. He is an encyclopedia person full of interesting and deep knowledge. Very passionate for his history and culture. Very kind, attentive and professional, we have no doubt we will book another tour with him and we highly recommend him Regards from Mario & Yessica
The views were beautiful and the guide was super informative. You can tell he has passion for his profession and wants to share all the information he can about the whole day. I would definitely recommend this tour with his company.
Wow! This tour was amazing. Rodrigo was very knowledgeable and explained everything so well. We absolutely enjoyed our tour. Definitely book this tour!
Rodrigo was an excellent tour guide with a wealth of knowledge not just about the subject on hand but everything about Mexico. Me and my wife were thoroughly impressed by his knowledge and friendliness. I will be looking forward to booking a tour with him as a guide.
Thank you, Rodrigo. Lindy and I enjoyed our day very much. Your passion and knowledge of the Michoacán history comes through loud and clear!! The pyramid ruins at Tzintzuntzan are beautiful to see. And our trip to Isla Juanitzio was especially memorable since our boat had to be towed the last half of the trip to the island!! Pátzcuaro is a lovely town and your commentary on the history of the old convent was fascinating!! We appreciate your recommendations on additional sights and restaurants in Morelia. It always helps to have an insiders view!! Gracias, Barbara
Rodrigo was amazing! He was extremely knowledgeable on historical details. We learned so much and have made an effort to continue to learn about Michoacan and its history. Highly recommend!
Rodrigo was a fantastic guide! He really knows his stuff and how to make people comfortable and move at a good pace. We asked him many questions about the people, history, and culture to which he gave thoughtful and well-researched answers. He took every detail into consideration and made the whole tour a wonderful experience for us. Taking one of his tours is worth every penny! In fact, I wished we had booked one or two more tours during our trip. We will certainly be booking with him again when we travel back.
I completely understand now why Rodrigo has such excellent reviews! He is an amazing tour guide. He has such a passion for the history of this area and it comes through everything he says. It’s contagious and you feel like he’s taking you back in time with him to experience it for yourself. The tour consisted of just my husband and myself. We both speak very little Spanish but Rodrigo speaks excellent English. He picked us up at our hotel and provided each of us a box lunch consisting of of a ham and cheese sandwich, cookies and it a juice box. He also provided cold bottles of water throughout the tour. The tour was fascinating and we learned a LOT about each town we visited. We had a hot meal at a place in Patzcuaro that was delicious and included in the price of the tour. If you’re considering this tour, don’t hesitate. I highly recommend it. It is well worth the price you will pay.
We loved our tour with Rodrigo & highly recommend him. He knows so much about Michoacán state & Mexico, and really made the day fascinating for us.
Rodrigo is very accommodating and knowledgeable about the areas we visited - Tzintzuntzan, Patzcuaro and Janitzio - and about many other things Mexico. His tours except for the Morelia city tour, are private tours in a comfortable car. You are guaranteed to have a great trip - look no further.
We had an excellent time with Rodrigo. All tour stops were fascinating and the traditional lunch was tasty. The additional travel information for Michoacán and Morelia was much appreciated.
My partner Jose and I had an excellent day with Rodrigo. We explored the Tzintzuntzan archeological site where the Purépecha people lived in the 1300s-1500s. Then we took a boat to the island of Janitzio, in the middle of Lake Pazcuaro, and climbed to the to the top of the island and then to the top of the monument to José Maria Morelos, one of the heroes of Mexican Independence. After an amazing lunch in Pátzcuaro we we wandered around the city and learned some more about its history before heading back to Morelia. Rodrigo is a friendly and knowledgeable tour guide. He speaks English beautifully too! Highly recommended.
Rodrigo is perfect host. He is an expert Michoacan history and hospitable. We visited Zona Arqueologica De Tzintzuntzan, Atrio de los Olivos de Don Vasco, Isla Janitzio. We also had delicious hot lunch. Overall, I had an amazing day. But, the hospitalities does not end after the tour. He shares places that I can visit, and food to try while I am in Morelia.
Rodrigo was extremely knowledgeable and accommodating to our needs. Michoacán is full of hidden gems and Rodrigo helped us find and appreciate each and every one to the fullest. We can't wait to come back and to book another tour with Yei Tours.
Rodrigo is an awesome guide, very knowledgeable about the region's history, geography and culture. He was on time to pick us up at our hotel and during the tour he never rushed us so we had all the time we wanted on all of the attractions to enjoy, amazing service. Also absolutelly everything was included, all information was previously provided and we got quick answers all the time (on email, Instagram and Whatsapp). He even gave us tips on what to do, where to visit and what to eat in Morelia as a plus. From the purchase on site until the very last minute this was a great experience with a very good price, so I would and I will def recommend this tour!
Rodrigo was the most amazing tour guide we ever had. He gave us a full scale comprehensive history lesson on in the indigenous and modern-day Michoacán. His expertise, friendly demeanor, and amazing ability bouncing back and forth from English to Spanish, made it a wholesome experience for my Spanish and English speaking family members. Magical tour, great experiences, HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!
The highlight of our trip with our tour guide Rodrigo who was so incredibly knowledgeable and kind. We learned so much and saw such beautiful locations!
Rodrigo was fabulous! So nice and knowledgeable, we would never have been able to learn so much on our own of this area and it’s history- highly recommend booking with Rodrigo!
Rodrigo was very knowledgeable and know all about the history of Mexican culture. I highly recommend him. I will come back to Mexico with my family and Rodrigo will be our Tour Guide while in Morelia.
I had a phenomenal time with Rodrigo touring Pátzcuaro. He first took me to Tzintzuntzan, where we had beautiful views of the lake from the ruins, then we took a boat to the Isla de Janitzio, and we finished the day at the very picturesque town of Patzcuaro. I was actually not feeling 100% this day, but Rodrigo was very patient with me and very kindly kept asking how I was feeling throughout the day. He is also so full of historical knowledge, and I learned so much about the area and the Purépecha people. I would definitely recommend YEI for anyone interested in exploring Pátzcuaro.
Rodrigo was very knowledgeable and know his history about the Mexican culture. He was very nice. I definitely will come back to Mexico and do another tour! I recommend him if you ever come to Mexico
Excellent tour. Rodrigo was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the history and culture of Patzcuaro and Morelia. He was very attentive and accommodating. If you're looking for a Patzcuaro tour, look no further.
Rodrigo is simply THE best tour guide I’ve ever had. He’s filled with knowledge, professionalism, and patience. Every stop on this tour was so interesting and beautiful and we cannot wait to come back. Thank you Rodrigo and team!
Rodrigo was great - it was a very personalised tour and he knows loads about the Michoacan state. His English is very good, for those who are not Spanish speakers. He is professional, friendly and accommodating. Please book this tour!
We wanted to see more of Mexico and learn about it's history, so we decided on this tour. We are so glad that we did! The ruins at Tzintzuntzan, and later the trips to the see the artisans work, plus Patzcuaro were all beautiful. The information Rodrigo provided was interesting and very informative. He is a great guide as well as a good natured person. We had a wonderful day because of this tour. Highly recommended!
Our tour guide was very nice, friendly, and knowledgeable. Ask for Rodrigo. I asked for my tour in Spanish, but he said that he speaks English fluently as well. We had a small group of 3, including my 65yr old mother. We spent pretty much all day with Rodrigo since he took us to various historical places, providing us with aircondioned vehicle, cold water, and food. I was totally pleased.
Rodrigo from YEI Tours is the best tour guide I have had (and I have traveled extensively). The personalized attention, seamless communication and itinerary were all perfect. Rodrigo took me to the 3 pueblos magicos surrounding Morelia and explained the history of each town - he is super knowledgeable. I highly recommend YEI Tours as your personal guide For Morelia and surrounding towns. Absolutely FANTASTIC!!! Gracias Rodrigo!!!
We did not do the Tour with this Agency, we did it with Jaime , Taxi Trusted Guide +52 443 471 0295 highly recommended, together with his wife we walked through Quiroga Pátzcuaro Tzintzuntzan, super well , Private tour very to our taste and reach because we are +60 ... so we traveled: )
Excellent tour with Rodrigo , although we had drawbacks on the way out of his control and could not carry out the tour as described, he was in charge of restocking with many other sites of historical and archaeological interest. He gave us a super interesting tour through the history of Mexico and Michoacan that we really wanted to spend talking to him all day.
HUYEN Khi con gái tôi đến khu nghỉ dưỡng Movenpick trong tình trạng bệnh tật, Huien đã giúp đỡ tôi để được bác sĩ khám, check in và nghỉ ngơi thật tốt để hồi phục. Nhờ vậy mà tôi đang có chuyến du lịch gia đình vui vẻ. Cảm ơn vì sự thân thiện.
Kim Ngannnnn staff was very kind to me. It was so good. 2 nights and 3 nights. I should come again. For families with children, Movenpic is the best. Highly recommended.
The historic center of Morelia with lots of history and many places to go. Amazing gastronomy, as well as the tour they give around the city.
My second tour with Rodrigo and I hope you can enjoy many more with him. He is a wonderful person and very professional, always watching the group for his well-being. Thank you Rodrigo for being so professional.
Excelente trato e información de los lugares que compartió el guía . Los lugares visitados hermosos y todo el viaje comodo y seguro
During the holidays we went to see places in Michoacán and we loved knowing sites that although we had visited, we did not know them well and that thanks to this tour. My family and I had a great time and felt very comfortable about how everything was organized, how our guide explained everything and the places we visited. I will definitely recommend it with family and friends
Rodrigo has given us an incredible day, in addition to a perfectly organized excursion to Tzintzuntzan, Janitzio and Paztcuaro, his knowledge about the history of the region and the country in general has made us live the day even more intensely. 100% recommended, for me, the best guide I have known throughout my travels. Thanks Rodrigo!
A wonderful day with Rodrigo we had a great time and he is a great professional. We recommend it 100% booking and communication with him was very fast and very efficient. He was attentive throughout. WONDERFUL RODRIGO. We will return soon to Morelia and contact you. Greetings and a hug from everyone.
Excellent tour, pity that the archaeological area of tzintzuntzan was closed, by covid. Rodrigo our guide, widely recommended, knowledgeable and very friendly.
In particular a very pleasant experience, the treatment, Service and attention. Whether they are going as a couple, with friends or with family. Yei Tours thank you very much!!
My experience is exceptional, we have visited the most beautiful, photogenic places (for my instagram they were perfect) and with a lot of history of Morelia and Pátzcuaro. The logistics, attention and knowledge of the subject has surprised me from the guide Rodrigo. I would definitely take another tour with them.
Ideal for couples and groups. Rodrigo, our excellent guide, showed us the beauty of Pàtzcuaro and its surroundings. In one day he made us see a lot of unmissable places: the panoramic view of the lake and its islands, the archaeological site of the extraordinary Purépechas civility and in the end he brought us to Santa Clara copper, where we observed the traditional methods of Processing copper. It has been unique and unforgettable! If you pass through Michoacàn do not forget to do this tour!
