Our tour with Alfredo was incredible! It's about a 3 hour drive each way to the Monarch Butterfly Sanctuary. That may seem like torture, but not with Alfredo! His English is perfect. We talked the entire time. I asked so many questions, and Alfredo answered them in depth. Not only did we see the beautiful Monarchs, but I feel like I am now an expert in Mexican law, history, economy, and ecology! Alfredo arranged exactly what we wanted with the guides on the mountain as far as horses and walking. He provided masks for us because the trail was dusty, and he also gave me bottled water. We enjoyed a delicious lunch afterwards, and I even used some of what he taught me on the way there when I was shopping at the vendors near the sanctuary entrance. I am so glad that we chose Alfredo for this once in a lifetime experience! I wholeheartedly recommend Alfredo. You will be definitely be satisfied with his high level of service. Muchas gracias, Alfredo! 😊

One of the best experiences I've had exploring the world. Alfredo is a great tour guide. He is super easy to contact, answers quickly on Whatsapp, even with English as a second language he communicates very well, and most importantly his knowledge of the Monarch Butterfly migration is quite extensive. Alfredo picked us up at our hotel. Along the drive he educated us about the migration and even had a few very informative podcasts about the migration. Alfredo timed our day perfectly as the butterflies only awaken when it is warm and that is exactly when we were there. It is a bit of a walk up to the butterflies so wear appropriate shoes, bring a bottle of water and dress in layers. After seeing the amazing awaking of the butterflies we had a really good lunch at a local stand. This is an absolute must do if you are in the area.

It was really amazing to visit the Monarch butterfly migration. Alfredo was very knowledgeable about the butterflies and their habitat. He was also very patient when I was having difficulty with the altitude and had to ascend the mountain very slowly with a lot of stops along the way. I enjoyed this tour.
