We had an amazing experience exploring Mérida with Fernando as our local guide. He took us to several authentic local spots where we enjoyed delicious traditional food and refreshing fruit-flavored waters that we probably would have never found on our own. Fernando was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the local culture, history, and cuisine. He made us feel welcome from the moment we met and provided great recommendations throughout the tour. If you’re visiting Mérida and want a genuine local experience with great food and drinks, I highly recommend Fernando. Thank you for making our visit memorable!

We are still very excited about the tour with Marcos. What a great guide, funny, open, friendly, with a lot of knowledge and good taste 🤩 we would go on a tour with him again anytime, it was just a lot of fun and we were able to taste things that we certainly would not have found or tried on our own. We returned to the hotel quite full. Thank you, Marcos, it was a wonderful afternoon. All the best!

Fernando was a fantastic guide! He speaks excellent English and has great knowledge of both Mexican cuisine and the country's culture. We enjoyed a pleasant walking tour with stops at local food spots, where we tried unique, delicious, and new dishes. It was quite humid, so I'd recommend bringing your own water. Thanks for a great experience, Fernando!
