Amazing tour, amazing guide, and an amazing city - We were in town for a wedding and wanted something to do the day after before we had to head back to the airport. We went as a group of 3 and it was amazing! Rodrigo is phenomenal!!! I can't say enough about him. The tour is an amazing use of time and an amazing bargain at its price too! You start at the old town square and church, where he also shows you the local artist exposition which is worth going to see on its own! He was a great guide and extremely knowledgeable about Morelia, Michoacan, Mexico, and honestly history itself. I love history and it seems like Rodrigo could go back and forth about anything! He truly seems to love what he does and that be gets to show people not just the history of Morelia but its beauty too. I do not think there is anything I would change about this tour and I would recommend it to anyone at all traveling.
It truly was a great experience and I would recommend it if you are on the fence about it, or have a tight itinerary; or even if you aren't a big history fan, it's still an amazing tour and Rodrigo's love for the city shines through, giving an amazing representation of this hidden gem of a city.
Thank you so much Rodrigo, I can't wait to come back to Morelia and enjoy the city once more: Lucas, Rockelle, Lili

Highly recommend! - We were very impressed with the wealth of knowledge Rodrigo had about the history of Morelia. He was interesting and engaging and we learned alot. Our only regret was that we did not meet with him sooner in our trip so as to explore all his recommendations.

Historical in-depth visit - The visit to Morelia was fantastic. Rodrigo gave us a history masterclass through the spaces visited, offering not only extensive and accurate knowledge, but also a very interesting perspective with which to look at history.

Great Walking Tour - This was our first time in Morelia and this city tour was totally worth it! Our guide was Rodrigo Rosales with Yei Tours. Rodrigo was extremely professional and knowledgeable. As mentioned this was our first time in this city and through this tour we were able to see the highlights and hear the history of the city. If you have never been here this is a must and if you get Rodrigo, even better. This way you are able to see the main sights of the city and see what you would like to go back to see throughout your stay. This is a walking tour so be ready to walk a lot. My dad has back problems so it was a little hard on him but after a few breaks along the way he said he will totally do it again.

Informative historic center of Morelia tour - Very educational and informative tour of the historic center of Morelia . Rodrigo is very knowledgeable and captures his audience with historical facts on how the city was established from the ancient civilizations and up to the Mexican independence where the city got its’s current name of Morelia.

nice trip - Nice trip on historic buses and not. In acluni you can stay on the mezzanine floor and the sunset view, of the lights, of the city is very satisfying.
