Entertaining afternoon with a wonderful guide. - We had an amazing afternoon with Laura; she took us to a nice range of cantinas, and helped us understand the history and culture.
Food was fun and amazing.
She clearly has a passion for her work, which she shares happily.
Brava Laura!!!

Cantina tour Merida - This was a great experience. Marisol was our guide and we enjoyed her company and knowledge of the city. The cantinas served snacks with our drinks, which were really small meals. I’d definitely recommend this activity.

Cantina Culture - Bar hopping tour was a lot of fun! Loved learning about the cantina culture and trying the snacks. Our guide Marisol was very sweet and made great recommendations. My bf and I are were the only ones on the tour - would have been fun with another couple.

Off the Beaten Path - Very authentic experience. They showed us local cantinas that I don't think we would have found on our own. Much more fun to drink with the locals! The bar snacks are very generous so don't eat lunch beforehand.

Great tour experience! - This was a wonderful tour! Luz was very kind and it was really nice getting to know her. I loved the places she took us. Only challenge is that it was REALLY hot and the tour happened right in the middle of the afternoon.
