    Francisco was a great guide setting a gentle pace and giving us plenty time to enjoy the ambience. The views of the butterflies were amazing.

    The tour guide was outstanding and friendly. The guides at the reserve really helped us old folks get up the trail. We took horses most of the way, but had to hike the last part of the route. Our escorts looked after our well-being and safety. We didn’t see the monarchs fly, but we did see lots of them on the trees. We had a great experience thanks to the local guides and their attentiveness.

    We took a private tour from Mexico City. The drive is around three hours one way. Our tour guide George was great and shared lots of information about Mexico and the culture along the way. At the sanctuary we chose to ride horses up the mountain to the location where the Monarchs migrate. The horses take you part of the way and then you are on foot for the remainder of the hike. The hike is challenging. The terrain is rugged. At the migration point, we were only allowed to stay about 15 mins. Seeing the Monarch’s was outstanding! They flutter and land everywhere! Our guides from the sanctuary were kind, patient and friendly. After we hiked back down we enjoyed authentic food made by locals. Overall a wonderful experience. Viator does not share the amount of time spent at the migration point and this is why I rated it four stars. However Monarchs are magical and I highly recommend this experiment!
