Friendly and knowledgeable
"Simona provided a great tour experience. She was very friendly and knowledgeable about Merida. I highly recommend her."
"Claudia was fabulous. Communication before hand was timely and she was right on time to our meet up. She took the time to ask what I wanted from our tour, there really is so much to see in Merida. She crafted the perfect morning, taking into account what I asked and adding perfect details along the way. Remembering that English is her second language allowed me to be even more impressed with her conversation and information. If you are looking for a great walking tour that really is about what you want, I would recommend Claudia every time. A++"
"Simona is a terrific tour guide - very friendly and highly informative. I took her walking tour of Merida on my first day in town, and it was an excellent introduction to the city. Also, Simona is highly knowledgeable about the entire Yucatán Peninsula, and she provided me with lots of very helpful insights for traveling throughout the region. I really appreciated that Simona contacted me in advance of the tour, so she could tailor it to my specific interests in street food and local culture in Merida. I learned a great deal and really enjoyed the experience. I would highly recommend booking a tour with Simona during your visit to Merida! "

An Excellent Experience
"Our experience touring with Simona was excellent. Our connection with Simona was immediate and postive. She accomodated our requests with such grace and warmth. We will look back on the day exloring Merida with pleasure and highly recommend her services."
"Simona was incredible! She took us into the local Merida market. This market is a maze of incredible local seafood, meats, produce, and local goods. I would have gotten lost in this maze of shops, but Simona took us around to eat all the authentic local cuisine. She took us to see some sights and we ended at a local cantina. If you are interested in local authentic cuisine, Simona is your girl!"

Like walking with a friend.
"I loved exploring the streets with Simona. She is enthusiastic, and yfull of stories and information about the city. I highly recommend her."
"She showed us around the main downtown sites of Merida and the very large public market which helped to get us oriented. We speak and understand some Spanish, so the tour worked out well for us. Claudia is a fine guide for tourists who understand some Spanish, "
"The tour with Simona was so much fun! She is not only very knowledgeable about the city and a great storyteller, but also very welcoming. Her warm attitude makes you feel like you are sharing a pleasant stroll with an old friend. I really appreciated her effort in accommodating all my allergies to ensure I could fully enjoy the experience. I cannot recommend her enough. Thank you, Simona! This will surely remain one of my best memories from this trip."
