I contacted Ricardo ahead of our visit to Morelia. It was extremely easy to book a walking tour of the city that suited our needs. Ricardo picked us up at our hotel and drove us to the outskirts of the old center. From there, we walked through the city. Rodrigo built our experience around Morelia’s historical landmarks. He spent time providing us a very thorough historical background of Morelia. His expert knowledge of the conquest of Mexico by Spain and the Catholic Church helped put in perpective how Morelia has developed into the urban center it is today. Rodrigo also took us to a phenomenal artisans center. As we parted ways, he was kind enough to walk with us to a very nice restaurant he recommended for lunch. He also shared with us the names of a few places to shop on our own. It was a phenomenal tour! Morelia is a wonderful city. Rodrigo’s prices are extremely competitive. I can’t recommend Yei Tours enough!

In case you didn’t know, Lucha Libre and Mezcal are part of Mexican culture, that's why we´ve created an experience especially for you: Mezcaluchas, a combination of drinks and a wrestling tour at Arena Mexico. “Lucha libre” implies an attitude and a style of roleplaying. Be part of this unique pop-culture phenomenon. You’ll have the chance to see a bunch of muscle wrestlers showing an exaggerated, raucous, and dramatic sport show in Mexico.

Every part of the trip was planned to the smalest of the detail and went smootly. Not a single problem. We visited several places that normally you do not visit in a regular trip because this tour operator knows the places, the culture, the locals, the food, arts and crafts where you participate in the making of local art objects and interact with the local people, not only visit the places. The guides are with you at all times, are very knowledgeable and helpfull and know every inch of the tour. You feel very secure with them. The best experience in an organized tour I have ever had.
