Reviews
The first day was great, horses were well behaved unlike other trail horses I have ridden. The second day was a bit harder, horses were great but saddles were very uncomfortable and trail was much longer as well as steeper. Tour description did not clearly state this. Padded bike shorts as well as bike gloves would help.
We had a fabulous extremely knowledgeable guide, not only about the butterflies but also about the history of Mexico, Clemente, that went above and beyond our expectations. On our free day he took us to a farm outside of town where a local has planted milkweed to entice Monarchs, then to the lake where he arranged a boat ride for our group. When we returned to Mexico City he gave us a walking tour to Plaza Mayor archeological site, the National Palace to see the murals, the Cathedral, and finally a Mexican Art Museum. The hotel in Valley de Bravo was very quaint and picturesque. They had some issues with leaking plumbing but were very attentive to our needs. The hotel in Mexico City was great! It has the best location for walking and seeing the sites. Both hotels served an amazing breakfast.
I would definitely recommend the Monarch Butterfly Tour with EcoColors Tours. I will be looking for other tours with them.
Our tour was in January 2020 with Clemente and Laura as our guides.
I recommend this tour because to see these butterflies in Mexico, where they spend their winters, is just something you have to see in person. My words alone cannot do it justice.
Even though their numbers are dangerously low. these beautiful butterflies hang from the trees by the thousands...and when the sun comes out, they dance in the light. Breathtaking!
Clemente and Laura were the perfect guides. They cared deeply for the environment and for the butterflies, they were so knowledgeable and helped us learn so much more about Monarchs then we knew before we arrived.
You are in great hands on this tour. Every part of it including the accommodations, the driver, the shopping, museums, and the food were outstanding! Don't miss out on the opportunity to enjoy nature up close like this and stay longer if you can, there is so much to enjoy in this part of Mexico.
Clemente could not have been more helpful, fun, knowledgeable, easy to understand and all in all was the highlight of our trip making this adventure so enjoyable!
The Majestic hotel location was great but the rooms and food was disappointing .. clean but dated, english by hotel folks was marginal, service people friendly and prompt, room at end of the trip was more comfortable then room at beginning on the 6th floor.
Claudio, the driver did a wonderful job making the drive safe, and he was an added plus.
The hotel in Valle de Bravo was charming and the indigenous people made it even more enjoyable. Cladia, the manager, and her assistant, Evelyn, was wonderful and helpful to all participants. Both spoke excellent english and were always looking to make everyone comfortable. Even the chef, who also spoke excellent english was always looking to please.
Cons: very limited pre-trip communications from tour company; no brochure, no active confirmation of trip, online information and email only; horseback riding and hiking were strenuous and at least half of fellow travelers were over 80 years old, many indicated they did not expect the level of difficulty but...all said it was worth it and it was a life-changing accomplishment.
I highly recommend this trip!
