We invite you to experience the ultimate cantina tour, where you'll visit five different local cantinas. At each one, you'll sample a variety of regional snacks, accompanied by drinks (beer), and learn the history of each establishment. Plus, enjoy a salsa or cumbia dance lesson for an even better experience.
Each of the places to visit are cantinas with many years of experience and great relevance among the locals.
They will also learn stories about the neighborhood and the peninsula during the transfer from one place to another.
*Each person will pay for the food and drinks they consume.
I am a traveler at heart who loves to learn about different cultures around the world, as well as share everything about my own culture, which is Yucatecan, and what makes us unique.

Would recommend to anyone visiting Merida and wants to see a side of local culture! Lulu and Willi took us to a diverse range of different types of cantinas, they explained the history of them as well as information about Merida, differences between Mezcal and Tequila, the plates of food in the cantina were delicious. It felt like we were chatting with friends rather than on a 'tour'. Willi is an amazing salsa dancer and taught us a few moves too. Thanks for a fun afternoon! (Just a note that the email from Guru walk that came through didn't have the correct meeting point for us, but it was only a couple of mins away but maybe check before you arrive where the meeting point is to avoid any confusion :) )

We booked the Tour without a having a clue of the city of Merida. Then we met Lulu, José and Willi and directly felt very welcomed by them. They told us about the story of Merida, in a way we could have never figured out by ourselves and they showed us cantinas and places that we couldn’t have found by ourselves too. The three are a perfect mix of age, experience and background. They answered every question we had to the fullest.
We would recommend this tour 100%. A big thank you to the three! We loved it!

We thoroughly enjoyed the tour with Jose, although there were only two of us. Had the group been larger, we would have had a blast. The visited neighborhood was great, the Cantinas we visited were lovely. We would have never seen any of these places without Jose. Good experience for our last Merida day!
