We had a private tour with Alfredo de la Cruz who took us to Tzintzuntzan, Lake Pátzcuaro, Janitzio and several mezcal producers. Alfredo is very knowledgeable about his city and the surrounding area. We are so glad we found him. He also arranged transport for us from Mexico City to Morelia and later to Guadalajara.

If looking for private tours, look no further. Mexico Private Tours is a collective of professional local tour guides that made my first trip to Mexico unforgettable. Our experience was comfortable, convenient, unhurried, and safe; well worth the price.
