Alfredo took us on three tours: Patzcuaro, Central Morelia and a gastro tour. He was like having our own professor emeritus with his knowledge of history, the culture and the food. Not only is he super knowledgeable, but his delivery is passionate, so well thought out and his timing all made us want to see him starring on a Netflix travel series.
I feel honored with such a review Brent. Thank you and your wife for being so interested on my tours and willing to experience the stops I suggested. Loved it!
