Start your visit to Merida with Gabriel!! - We had a wonderful and insightful tour with Gabriel. We walked this beautiful town and saw many interesting sights. Gabriel was a great guide, pointing out historical sights, not to be missed museums to visit, and his favorite spots for meals and drinks!! We are so glad we started our time in Merida with this tour! Gabriel was extremely helpful in connecting us with a private driver to take us to Chichen Itza and other interesting places. I hope you are lucky enough to get this tour guide.

He was super patient with all of the questions and you can tell how much he loves this city and his job. Highly recommend!

Great spontaneous free walking tour during our visit in Mérida - We really enjoyed the very spontaneous free walking tour with Gabriel Pech in Mérida. The walk and his very interesting information exceeded our expectations and we learned so much about the city and the Mayan culture.
