Nice Tour to start your journey in Merida

Great Guide and alot of Informations about the local cuisine.

Don't miss it!

Great guide, great tour! Perfect organization, very nice atmosphere. Perhaps a bit more historical and cultural background would make it even more interesting. There were, of course, a lot of valuable information but still a bit more insights could improve it. Anyhow, great tour, don't miss it!

Fantastic experience

We had a fantastic experience exploring Merida with Gabriel! His storytelling made the city’s history come alive in such a fun and engaging way. He has a great sense of humor, which kept us entertained while learning about the city’s past and hidden gems. It wasn’t just a tour—it felt like a journey through time with a good friend. Highly recommend Gabriel to anyone visiting Merida!

Excellent walking tour

This was a good walking tour to understand the origins of Merida and all the things that make it special. Gabriel was a fantastic guide, very knowledgeable and open to questions. Definitely something to do early in your trip to Merida.

Gabriel knows his stuff

Gabriel was on time and ready to go. There were only 4 of us so it was easy to ask questions and he was very knowledgeable. His English was good as well. He made good recommendations of places to visit. All in all, a great experience.
