Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"We had a wonderful evening with Simona starting at 5:30 pm. Besides about food we learned a lot about Mérida as well. As we did this tour around dinner time the tour fed us more than enough with a nice street dessert as well. Highly recommend Simona, her English (as well as her Spanish) is excellent."
"It was a Great experience with Simona! In 2 hours she showed us the Most important spots in Mérida and she told us lots of interesting and amazing stories about the history and the culture of Yucatan. At the end she showed us a lovely karaoke location, where we passed a great and funny evening!!!! Thanks for all! We recommend you highly ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️!!!!!!"
"Simona provided a great tour experience. She was very friendly and knowledgeable about Merida. I highly recommend her."
"A perfect way to kick off our time in Merida. Simona was informative and fun. Full of practical tips for enjoying our time in Merida"
"Claudia was fabulous. Communication before hand was timely and she was right on time to our meet up. She took the time to ask what I wanted from our tour, there really is so much to see in Merida. She crafted the perfect morning, taking into account what I asked and adding perfect details along the way. Remembering that English is her second language allowed me to be even more impressed with her conversation and information. If you are looking for a great walking tour that really is about what you want, I would recommend Claudia every time. A++"
When you hit the road and land in a new city like Merida, there's an exciting way to dive into its soul: personalized local tours. Forget the typical touristy routes – these tours are like having a local friend show you around all the cool spots.
Imagine having someone who lives and breathes Merida spill its secrets. That's what local guides bring to the table. They know the hidden alleys, the best bites, and stories that never made it to the guidebooks. Whether you're into munching through food tours, wandering the city's streets, or going off the beaten path, a local guide hooks you up with a private tour that's authentically Merida.
The best part? These tours are all about you. No herding in big groups or rushing through places you're not interested in. With private tours, you're the boss. Whether it's snapping pics at iconic landmarks, diving into history, or checking out the art scene, the tour is tuned to your vibes at your tempo.
But it doesn't stop at city limits. Day trips let you escape the urban jungle and explore nearby wonders. And if you're just setting foot in Merida, kickstart tours give you a taste of everything. Think of it as a crash course in Merida awesomeness, guided by a local who knows the city like the back of their hand.
So, next time you're in Merida, ditch the ordinary. Grab a local tour and unlock the city's real magic – the stories, flavors, and places that make it uniquely Merida. Get ready to explore like a local!

"Simona is a terrific tour guide - very friendly and highly informative. I took her walking tour of Merida on my first day in town, and it was an excellent introduction to the city. Also, Simona is highly knowledgeable about the entire Yucatán Peninsula, and she provided me with lots of very helpful insights for traveling throughout the region. I really appreciated that Simona contacted me in advance of the tour, so she could tailor it to my specific interests in street food and local culture in Merida. I learned a great deal and really enjoyed the experience. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Simona during your visit to Merida! "
"Our experience touring with Simona was excellent. Our connection with Simona was immediate and postive. She accomodated our requests with such grace and warmth. We will look back on the day exloring Merida with pleasure and highly recommend her services."
"Simona was incredible! She took us into the local Merida market. This market is a maze of incredible local seafood, meats, produce, and local goods. I would have gotten lost in this maze of shops, but Simona took us around to eat all the authentic local cuisine. She took us to see some sights and we ended at a local cantina. If you are interested in local authentic cuisine, Simona is your girl!"
"I loved exploring the streets with Simona. She is enthusiastic, and yfull of stories and information about the city. I highly recommend her."
"She showed us around the main downtown sites of Merida and the very large public market which helped to get us oriented. We speak and understand some Spanish, so the tour worked out well for us. Claudia is a fine guide for tourists who understand some Spanish, "
