I am an outgoing and friendly person, I studied tourism in 2 majors (tourist accommodation and also tourist business) for 4 years and since then I have been working as a local guide in Merida for 3 years. I love helping people and recommending places near Mérida so that they can get to know more places in the Peninsula. I love sharing the history of my city and also talking about the Mayan culture with travelers; get them to go back to the past during my Walking Tour experience. I want to innovate about walking tours and that is why I will offer you more than what you expect in a tour.

Tour description

We will meet in the Plaza de Grande located in the heart of Mérida.

Then, I will tell you about the conquest of Mérida and then we will start with the explanation of some important places in the heart of Mérida such as La Casa del Conquistador, San Idelfonso Cathedral, El Gran Hotel, Tercera Orden Church, Peón Contreras Theater and Santa Park, Lucy.

Also on this tour I will tell you some stories about Aluxes and personal experiences with these mythical creatures, the Creation of Cenotes, the Confident chairs and the typical Yucatan Food.

At the end of this tour, I will give you a map of the city and show you other places you can visit after the tour or during your stay in Merida and you will get some typical Mexican sweets.


Other things to keep in mind:
- This tour is full of history and you will also know some legends about Aluxes.

Mike was a great guide. He arrived plenty early, was easy to find and was very welcoming. He was very thorough in his explanations and knows his stuff.

Mike is very knowledgable and a good storyteller, 2 most important things I look for in a tour facilitator. I personally would have liked to spend more than 1.5 hours and learn more about more landmarks and history from him. I highly recommend Mike’s tour to the visitors.

The tour was awesome! I loved the way Mike introduced his city's history, he was always willing to answer the questions I had. Even he gave us water and some Mexican candies. Definitely I would take the tour again with my friends! Thank you for everything!
