Ivan was an excellent host 👌. His knowledge and enthusiasm for the history of Merida was phenomenal. The tour lasted about 3 hours so he prepared for lots of walking- finishing after food at a local street market.
So good!

Ivan was great. His knowledge of Merida, its buildings and its history was exactly what we wanted out of this tour. We had already been on a food tour that day, so food wasn't high on our priority list, but getting into the history, the buildings and some of the markets was perfect for us. Great tour!!

We absolute loved our private 3 hour city and food tour of Merida. Our tour guide zivan was 👌. He spoke fluent English, knows the amazing history of the Yucatan and Merida and is very pleasant to be around. He took his time explaining everything and showing us where the local people go. The super busy huge Market was totally cool. We would recommend this tour to anyone. It is NOT handicap friendly, lot's of steps (no elevators or ramps) and thousands of people. We loved it and got to see a little of the "real" Merida. I will be back. Best wishes, Ulli from St. Louis, Missouri USA

It was an interesting tour, visiting important historical spots in Merida and hearing the backstorying. Although we did not take advantage of any of the food while touring, the guide providing a lot information about places to eat and we did eat at one of the restaurant's he suggested at a later time
I would focus more on the historical aspects rather than and food guide.
