This is the shortlist for anyone with one free day: the 6 Mérida tours from Playa del Carmen that are worth the drive, each with its price, its verdict from the people who went, and the one thing to know before you book.
A 3-hour Mérida walking food tour with 8 local tastings in markets near Plaza Grande, led by local guides in English.
“It’s interesting, fun, and the food was fabulous. I would recommend it to anyone. Our guide, Annette, was great. Especially the way she managed an unpleasant tour participant, she was kind and diplomatic in dealing with his unwarranted comments.”
Sample Yucatán street food in Mérida with a small-group walk, market tastings, included lunch, and artisanal gelato at Pola.
“A great introduction to local foods and spices with a trip through the marketplace and restaurants in the Plaza Grande area.”
Market shopping at Mercado Lucas de Gálvez, then a hands-on 3-course Yucatecan cooking class in a family home, with Uber back to downtown.
“It was educational and fun! A chance to shop in a market with Zulma to explain the produce, to taste great food and see corn tortillas being made!”
3 hours of Yucatecan street food in downtown Mérida, with a small-group guide, market stops, and generous tastings for $69.
“I really enjoyed everything that we got to try. When asked which was my favorite, I really had a difficult time choosing! We were only 4 people on the tour and our guide did a fantastic job explaining what we were eating, as well as what we were seeing in the market. I absolutely will go back and try to find some of those places, again!! Thank you, thank you!”
See Mérida from a red double-decker bus with two circuits, top-deck panoramic views, and Spanish audio for about 1.5 hours each.
“Really nice tour through Merida! Unfortunately only one of the routes were offered (Circuite Norte), we would have loved to see more of the city.”
From Merida: Chichen Itza, Ik Kil cenote, and Izamal in one day, with pickup, Ik Kil entry, and buffet lunch.
“OMYGOSH! We had a fantastic all day excursion. Our guide Anel was extremely knowledgeable about the ruins & history of the Mayans, Toltec & Aztec people. We loved her! Our driver Johnny was so pleasant. His first month with the company. They both took care of us all day long. I can’t say enough about what a wonderful experience we had. Thank you so much Anel and Johnnie! You are the best!”
