My name is Gabriel Pech, journalist by profession, history buff and guide for 4 years in the city of Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico. I speak the Mayan language, and also English. For more than 10 years I have been promoting the use and customs of the Mayan culture in the state. It will be an honor to guide you in this beautiful colonial city called Mérida, a piece of paradise on the soil of Mexico. I am sure that you will enjoy this tour that aims to enrich and highlight the historical, cultural and recreational details of this beautiful city. On Sunday mornings we will visit the Lucas de Gálvez market to see the colorful fresh fruits of the region and the Sunday atmosphere.
We really enjoyed this walking tour of Mérida. Gabriel was fun, very friendly, and clearly passionate about the city. He shared his knowledge in an engaging way and was always happy to answer questions, which made the tour feel relaxed and personal. The walk covered the main highlights of Mérida’s historic centre and was a great way to get oriented and learn more about the city’s history and culture. We’d definitely recommend this tour, especially at the beginning of a stay in Mérida.
Gabriel is an excellent guide. He shared his knowledge of Merida & his Mayan culture. He took us into different buildings, giving us a more in depth understanding of the history & art of the place. Also allowed us a bit of time to wander, while keeping us on track with time. Gabriel offered suggestions of things to do & see in Merida. He was entertaining & funny. I highly recommend this tour while in Merida
Thank you for such a wonderful walking tour of Merida and the energy and fun you brought to explaining the cultural and historical significance of each place. PS we are now enjoying the pork cooked in the ground dish!
