Our Free Walking Tour has been specially designed for travelers looking to get to know the city like a local, exploring its secrets and rich cultural diversity in a small group and with an intimate and personalized approach.

Immerse yourself in the history, art and traditions of Mérida with passionate guides who know every corner and every story. On this tour, you are more than just a visitor; you are our guest to discover what makes Mérida truly special.


We will start at Casa Montejo , one of the oldest buildings in the city, a symbol of the conquest and founding of Mérida. From there, we will visit the majestic Cathedral of San Ildefonso , the first cathedral built on land in America. A few steps away is the imposing Government Palace , which houses murals that tell the story and struggle of the Mayans.

We will continue to the elegant Gran Hotel , a Porfirian-style building that retains the glamour of the early 20th century. We will enter the green and fresh Hidalgo Garden , an ideal place to relax before visiting the historic Church of Jesus of the Third Order , known for its beautiful baroque altarpieces.

Our tour will also take us to the magnificent Peón Contreras Theater , one of the most important cultural centers in Yucatán, and the Rector's Office of the Autonomous University of Yucatán , a building of great architectural value.

We will end at the picturesque Santa Lucía Park , famous for its traditional serenades and vibrant local life.
