Great Way to get to Know Merida - We learned a lot about the history of Merida with our knowledgeable guide, Ivan. He was flexible with the tour as he changed it up a bit to end the tour at a festival serving typical Yucatan food. He gave us recommendations on restaurants to try and they turned out to be fantastic. Highly recommend the tour. Note that the cost of the food is not included in the price of the tour.

Merida 101 with Denny - Denny was amazing! He taught us a lot of things and was also very flexible and adjusted the tour when my son shared some interests according to the food and things to do. Denny is very kind. We already feel like we have a friend in Merida. I will recommend a tour with Denny to all my friends when they visit Merida!

We know so much about Merida now - Ivan was an excellent host 👌. His knowledge and enthusiasm for the history of Merida was phenomenal. The tour lasted about 3 hours so he prepared for lots of walking- finishing after food at a local street market.

So good! - Ivan was great. His knowledge of Merida, its buildings and its history was exactly what we wanted out of this tour. We had already been on a food tour that day, so food wasn't high on our priority list, but getting into the history, the buildings and some of the markets was perfect for us. Great tour!!

Amazing Tour of Merida - We absolute loved our private 3 hour city and food tour of Merida. Our tour guide zivan was 👌. He spoke fluent English, knows the amazing history of the Yucatan and Merida and is very pleasant to be around. He took his time explaining everything and showing us where the local people go. The super busy huge Market was totally cool. We would recommend this tour to anyone. It is NOT handicap friendly, lot's of steps (no elevators or ramps) and thousands of people. We loved it and got to see a little of the "real" Merida. I will be back. Best wishes, Ulli from St. Louis, Missouri USA

I would focus more on the historical aspects rather than and food guide. - Our guide had extensive knowledge of local history and artistic works. His English was excellent and comprehensive. He was both personable and engaging.
