Overview

This activity is unique, since topics are addressed from a local perspective, for example the time of construction of this city of Mérida, its origins as a Mayan city, which we will see reflected, through Mayan aesthetic stones in some buildings. Likewise, we will talk about the culture and traditions of this city, as well as a wide variety of places to have fun and eat delicious food; from restaurants to famous taquerias in the historic center of this city. On Sunday mornings, we will visit the most popular market in the city, the famous Lucas de Gálvez to see the colorful fresh fruits of the region.

Top tour!

Published on Nov, 2024

Gabriel was an amazing guide, full of interesting facts. Highly recommended. His love of Mayan history and culture shone through.

Merida Walking Tour with Fernando

Published on Mar, 2024

Fernando did a great job despite the heat, humidity, and 20 guests! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and fun to walk with. I will say though, I will look for a smaller walking tour in my next destination. Any city can be a noisy place so, walking and talking with 20 people in tow makes it difficult - if not frustrating - trying to hear everything he had to share. Plus, there is a ton of street construction going on in Merida right now. Ten guests is really the maximum that can feasibly walk around together between the construction. Still, 5 stars for Fernando!
