Alfredo is professional, organized, knowledgeable - and fun to be with! We not only went on a magical trip to see the Monarch butterflies with him, but we also went on a day trip with him from Morelia to the island of Janitzio and the town of Patzcuaro. In both cases we learned lots and had a much richer experience than if we had tried to do these excursions on our own. This included meeting local vendors and restaurant owners and trying different foods. Highly recommend!

Had a very pleasurable day with Alfredo visiting Monarch Reserve. He picked us up on time. Alfedo is warm, friendly,knowledgable, comfortable to be with. Fluent english speaker! First stop, a small family restaurant in a town an hour out from Morelia. I had fabulous Chiliquiles ans traditional mexican olla coffee. Then onto reserve. We lucked out with a great day for viewing. On the riad in we were greeted by thousands if Monarchs seemingly leading ou way in to El Rey Rosario. We took horses up the mountain to the colony's current location and walked back when we were done. Alfredo imparted tons of interesting and amazing info about monarchs migration, choice of home and trees, mating, journey north again . . . His knowledge elevated our experience immensely . We were able to hang at colony's location as long as we wanted to. He showed us how to make ""monkey ears" in order to amplify the sound of fluttering wings. On the way out therevwasvplenty of time to look at souvenirs and have a tasy blue corn quesadilla lunch. Good company and conversation on the way home. Comfortable ride in a Nissan sedan. Alfredo was a careful and confident driver. Highly recommended for a top quality tour!
