Gabriel was great!! It... - Gabriel was great!! He was super communicative even before the tour started. The tour itself was a fantastic introduction to Merida (or Jo' in Mayan as we learned). 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.

Walk and learn - Gabriel was knowledgable about the history of Mérida as well as the Mayan people. I loved that he cared about the history and celebrated the city and Mayan culture. I also like that he made recommendations on what else we should see in the city and where to eat. Thank you Gabriel

A great introduction to Merida - I went on this tour the first day I arrived and recommend for anyone who hasn’t been to the city before. Gabriel was a brilliant guide, and gave a very interesting and educational tour around some beautiful and historic buildings, a fantastic introduction to Merida! I also enjoyed the coffee shop recommendations :)

Merida Walking Tour with Fernando - Fernando did a great job despite the heat, humidity, and 20 guests! He was friendly, knowledgeable, and fun to walk with. I will say though, I will look for a smaller walking tour in my next destination. Any city can be a noisy place so, walking and talking with 20 people in tow makes it difficult - if not frustrating - trying to hear everything he had to share. Plus, there is a ton of street construction going on in Merida right now. Ten guests is really the maximum that can feasibly walk around together between the construction. Still, 5 stars for Fernando!
