A must do! - 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.

A fun and informative city tour - It is a well thought out tour, full of history and context. We enjoyed the places we visited and plan to return for extended visits as Rodrigo suggested. We've taken a lot of city tours and this is definitely one of the best.

Come Christmas or New Year's Eve to Morelia, Mich. - I met Morelia after the new year, so I could still see the Christmas decorations, events in the city of lights, plus it is so close to Patzcuaro that I went to know the spectacular and creative birth made with the crafts of Michoacán. Come and meet him, it's not just dead day. Excellent weather.

Native Guide Gives Great Tours of Morelia - Touring the historic center of Morelia with Rodrigo Rosales was a highlight of our Mexican adventures in Michoacan. Having a native-born and Morelia-raised guide was unique enough, but his knowledge of the history, religion, architecture and culture added depth to the tour. His English was excellent, and we were grateful for his recommendation, not only for Morelia restaurants, but also other recommendation for our subsequent travels to Patzcuaro. Thank you Rodrigo for a great adventure.
