Our guide Eduardo was very knowledgeable about his city. He explained both the Mayan and Spanish history in a clear and easy to understand manner. He also spoke the Mayan language and could translate the many signs in Mayan. I really liked this tour of the city.

Well worth it!

A Moment in Mérida

Kim_R, Mar 2023

This is such a great tour! I didn’t have a lot of time, and so I wanted a quick introduction to the city, and this was just perfect! I was able to see a number of the highlights, our tour guides were absolutely charming and responsive to the needs of the group, and there were lots of little special surprises along the way! I know there are a lot of competing tours, but honestly, I would highly recommend this one!

Excellent tour by knowledgeable guide from the area.

diane_p, Mar 2023

A very interesting walk focusing on well-chosen highlights of downtown Merida. Guides were a lovely couple and knowledgeable about what we saw, as well as being able to answer many other questions. I learned a lot and now appreciate Merida history/culture more.

An Excellent Introduction to Centro Merida!

Linda_A, Feb 2023

Walking with Eduardo (Mike) and Shirley was an awesome way to get acquainted with Centro. They were both so friendly and helpful. Eduardo was very knowledgeable of the history of the area, its buildings and parks. He also had both knowledge and good stories about the Mayan culture. He was clearly passionate about his subject matter and very proud of his city and his Mayan heritage. We were so glad that we had chosen the Mike and Duck Walking Tour as our intro-"Duck"-tion to Merida!

Historic Merida - el centro

irv19, May 2021

Eduardo was a great guide, having just arrived a few hours before the tour we had no idea what Merida was about. Within the 2 hours that we spent with Eduardo he was able to paint a picture of Merida by sharing stories, and some history about el centro. He was able to share a lot for being limited on some attractions being closed due to covid and he gave us a lot of recommendations! Thank you again! We loved Merida!

Response from Host, May 2021

Hello Irving! Thank you so much for your review! Unfortunately most of the emblematic buildings still closed or has specific schedules to being open. Even because of the pandemic, I always give my best to all the travelers who book for this experience and I really enjoy walking with you guys, sharing our culture and traditions, our gastronomy and also being your guide in this fantastic city! Thanks for your time and hope to see you next time back in Merida! Stay safe and take care! Regards! :D
