Top Morelia Walking Tours

Alfredo was very friendly and knowledgeable. This was an excellent trip.

We had a great experience. Safe for women traveling. Alfredo met us on time, knows a lot about the area and its culture, nice enough to offer stops if needed and shopping points in good places for goodies and gifts. He put typical good music for us, car was clean, and the conversation in the road included good information. He even made recommendations for eating local food at a good price(which was so yummy!) We recommend this trip, it was so worth it. Thanks to Alfredo who was a great host and guide!

We really enjoyed the Morelia City Tour. Since we only had a short stay in the city, it was the perfect way to get oriented and learn about Morelia’s rich history.Our guide, Rodrigo, was outstanding. He was very fluent in English, incredibly knowledgeable, and you could tell he genuinely loves his city and takes pride in sharing its history and culture. He made the tour both informative and engaging.Rodrigo also gave us several recommendations for things to do after the tour and suggested a few restaurants that serve authentic local cuisine. We followed his advice, and he was absolutely right—the food was delicious!The city’s beautiful colonial buildings and awe-inspiring churches made a lasting impression on us. We highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Morelia, especially if you’re short on time and want an excellent introduction to this amazing city.

Rodrigo is so knowledgeable and his English is perfect. I was a little hesitant to sign up for a 3 hour tour but the time went quickly.

We were two girlfriends (Americans) traveling together, and seeing the monarchs was the ultimate reason for our trip to Mexico, so we were willing to splurge a bit to see them. In reality, while the cost of this tour seemed like a splurge at the time of booking, when you take into account the distance from Morelia to the sanctuaries, it would have been very difficult to find a better deal that was both as convenient and as efficient as this tour was. We had read such fabulous reviews about Alfredo as a tour guide, and we were excited to meet him, but instead he brought in his partner Rubén to serve as our guide for the day. However, Rubén was amazing, and we had a wonderful time with him. He was friendly, funny, hospitable, and even helped me practice my Spanish a bit! He spoke English well (he lived on the south side of Chicago for many years!) and we were able to communicate easily (I have some Spanish, but my travel partner had less, so I was specifically looking for an English tour so that she would not miss out on any aspect of the experience). Alfredo and Rubén both communicated with me via WhatsApp before our tour so that we would know what to expect. We were picked up and dropped off directly at our hotel in Morelia, which was awesome and unexpected as the booking listed Burger King as the meeting point. Rubén was right on time for pick-up. The booking indicated that meals would not be included, but we stopped for breakfast about halfway through the drive in Maravatío. When my friend and I went to pay, Rubén informed us that breakfast was included. Another nice surprise! We had packed snacks, so we did not end up stopping for lunch, but I am confident that Rubén would have taken us somewhere for lunch if we had asked. He did a great job of offering at multiple points during the trip to stop for bathrooms or water. Notably, I am prone to motion sickness, and the drive was at times steep, windy, and absolutely full of speedbumps - but I never felt the least bit sick the whole drive - a testament to Rubén's smooth driving! The drive was between 3 and 4 hours each way. We visited El Rosario and not Sierra Chincua - Rubén told us that Sierra Chincua is more "rustic." When we arrived, Rubén left us in the capable hands of the guides that El Rosario provides to each group hiking or riding horses up the mountain. Our wonderful guide was Elvia, who has been serving as a guide at El Rosario for 22 years! Fair warning: If you are not used to altitude, the hike is strenuous and challenging! But it is relatively short (just over 1 mile to the top, then 1 mile down), and you can choose to ride a horse to the top if you don't wish to hike. The horses would have cost an additional 300 MXN/~17 USD, but admission to the sanctuary was included in the cost of the tour. After the tour, Rubén sent us some great photos he had taken of us and some recommendations for the rest of our brief stay in Morelia. We couldn't have asked for a better way to see the monarchs!

Great experience - Alfredo is a very knowledgeable guide and a local with decades of knowledge. We had an amazing time and Alfredo got us there safely and quickly.I would recommend this tour to anyone - with this, you are also supporting local businesses and Alfredo as well.

Professionally run tour, Alfredo was friendly, knowledgeable, and courteous. Everything went smoothly and we had an unbelievable experience!

Alfredo was great. He is very professional, knowledgeable and friendly. He took us on a tour in Morelia which is a beautiful city and you should definitely book him for your next trip. We plan on visiting other cities in Mexico with Alfredo in the future!

Vale la pena . A must do once in your life . Monarchs are amazing. Our guide Alfredo was knowledgeable , pleasant and very considerate.

Before our Parocutin Volcano Private Tour, Alfredo sent us important information about what to bring, wear, shoes, weather forecast, hats, mosquitoes, water, snacks, etc. It was much informative and very helpful for us. He was on time picking us up at our hotel, was very professional, and full of knowledge about the area, its history and the place of the region in Mexican history and the present attempts to help and revive the unique culture of the Patzingo people. It was a long drive but Alfredo kept us entertained with what to expect to see around the volcano lava area. He and the driver of our truck assisted my 2 friends climb up the top of the volcano crater and took us to the village of San Juan Viejo that was inundated by the volcano's lava when it erupted in 1952. He took us to the Church's Bell Tower, climb as close it to as possible, which is the only remaining portion of the Church visible after the church and the entire village was buried under the sea of lava. He also arranged to have some souvenirs brought to the village, such as caps, lanyards that normally was not available. It was a long day (more than 13 hours) made short by the amiable personality of Alfredo and concern about our comfort and satisfaction. I wholeheartedly recommend Alfredo's Tour Guide. I rate it 10+stars!!!!!!!!!!

Great professional and great person. Rodo not only showed us places but also made us live experiences that we will take forever. 1000% recommended your night tour animas. Thanks Rodo!!

Maybe this was the best tour I ever took. Beautiful state of Michoacan, guide Shot super professional and a great person Highly recommendedJavier Madrid

When explored on foot, we experienced magnificent pink quarry stone architecture and rich history come alive. The guide engaged us with fascinating tales of Morelia's past, from its founding as Valladolid to its modern identity. This walking tour also helped us decide which areas of this historic city we may like to explore further.

Our experience with Alfredo was fantastic. We booked two tours. Pátzcuaro and Janitzio ( 8hr tour) and a two-hour walking tour in historic Morelia. Alfredo was very attentive, and he adapted to our rythm. As well, he is quite knowledgeable and communicates well. We learned so much about history and culture, as well as little known facts of the entire region, and we had the opportunity to go inside some places that we would have never been able to find by ourselves. I highly recommend Alfredo Tour Guide.

Excellent walking tour of centro histórico en Morelia. Alfredo is very knowledgeable and we learned so much about the history of many of the major old, very old buildings in Morelia and how they have been repurposed today for education, music, and as a library.

This was an amazing day with Alfredo whose 30 years of touring was evident in his knowledge and enthusiasm for our adventure. We highly recommend this itinerary in that you will be exposed to local artisans, pre Columbian ruins as well as having an appreciation of the Spanish who date back to the early 1500’s.
