Nice walk with Max

We had a nice walk through Mérida with Max. He was very friendly and knew a lot of the history of Mérida and Yucatán. We can highly recommend doing this tour.

Paseo Montejo

We had a really good time with Edgar. We learned lots of interesting facts about the paseo Montejo and Mexican history in general and it was very entertaining too. Also Edgar took the time to answer a ton of questions, that we had. Would recommend anytime.

Excellent tour!

I had an excellent tour with Edwardo, even in the rain! Another family bailed when the rain didnt stop, but Eduardo was more than happy to continue as a one-on-one guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history and buildings we were seeing, and took time to explain the symbols and icons on the final monument. Excellent experience!

Very enjoyable and informative tour of Paseo Montejo

Our family booked the 5:30 pm tour, to avoid the heat. Our guide was very pleasant and provided us with a lot of fun and informative information on the history of Yucatan, the city and the various homes along the way, including an art collection, and attempted to answer all of our questions. We had such an enjoyable evening. Everything was super easy to see - even after sunset. Special thank you also for an umbrella during refreshing rain episode. This tour is highly recommended.
