A 2-hour English walking tour across Merida’s historic center, from Casa Montejo and the Cathedral to Santa Lucia Park.

Taste Yucatecan street food, fruit, candies, and gelato on a 3-hour guided walk through Mérida’s market and downtown.
“Our walking food tour was a visit to the busy local market. It provided an authentic experience where locals buy their fresh foods and have their breakfast. Our guide was familiar with the local vendors. We had delicious popular foods (quick service in spite of long queues) and she provided explanations for each dish. We also sampled fresh local fruits, herbs and spices used in Mexican cooking. Lunch was a prawn ceviche and we finished in an ice cream shop with interesting and unusual selection of flavours.”
Pick the day out first, then the town it happens in.
