Fernando was an amazing guide – funny, knowledgeable, and full of great stories! He made the tour both entertaining and informative, with the perfect balance of humor and history. We learned so much and laughed a lot along the way. I can highly recommend Fernando to anyone visiting Mérida – you’ll have a fantastic time! Thanx, Theresa & Christian
Amazing experience!! Marcos was our guide and he was fantastic. He made the tour personal and catered to myself, being a vegetarian.
We had a great time with Laura, she was very knowledgeable and very open. The food was great and we got to know a lot of the local food scene. 10/10 would recommend!
I loved the entire tour. Laura was a really fun guide and I would highly recommend her.
Our tour with Laura was one of the highlights of our Yucatán trip. She made the tour a very interesting, fun and personal experience. The food we tried as part of the tour felt super authentic. Besides the food experience as such, we really enjoyed Lauras stories about the yucatecan culture and cuisine including personal stories from her perspective as a Yucatecan. I absolutely recommend taking the tour with Laura.
Anit is a very thoughtful guide! I appreciate the attention and care she gave to each person in our group while sharing her joy and passion for the local gastronomy. Even though I'm a Spanish speaker, I NEVER would have been able to seamlessly navigate the lively markets to find the amazing vendors and dishes she did. It really felt like I had a local bestie who was showing me around the "real" way the folks of Mérida fuel and enjoy their food throughout the day.
Fernando was entertaining, engaging, and knowledgeable. We thoroughly enjoyed exploring the heart of the city. Merida is magic and such great food so far.
Fernando shared a wealth of history and culture and pointed out great restaurants to try out. It was a very hot day (for the beginning of April) and he was very careful to keep us in the shady spots whenever he stopped to point out places of interest. We would highly recommend this tour!
Fernando is a fantastic tour guide and super knowledgeable about Merida and the history of the whole Yucatan Peninsula, and he delivers it all with a great spirit of fun and joie de vivre, highly recommend!
Loved this tour with Fernando. Quite a bit of history was covered but instead of taking us to typical places he took us to some unique places. And recommended some other free and public places we could go to on our free time. Plus we got to know some fun facts including how lemongrass repels insects, higuera fruits being used for bowls etc. He also recommended some wonderful bars and restos (would vouch for Negrita! ).
