Guest reviews from travelers on Cultural, religious and historic sites tours in and around Merida
Vanessa M. | Traveled in November
Luis Flores is a tremendous guide with lots of knowledge and great historical context but also a very pleasant character and cheerful personality. He took us to some wonderful local restaurants, and organised excellent optional activities. We loved the wide range of activities in the itinerary... Spectacular ruins but also cenotes, boat trips, church visits etc. The highlight was definitely the visit to the cemetery for Dia Des Muertos in Oaxaca. We have already recommended this trip to many friends and will continue to do so! Well done and thank you for adding these memories to our life.
Robin | Traveled in November
An excellent opportunity to explore many of the archeological sites in Mexico, Guatemala and Belize under the guidance of our extremely knowledgeable and charismatic tour guide Ana. This is a ‘full on’ tour, with some very long drives, but well worth it. There is a fair amount of walking, as well as climbing at many of the sites, and a good level of fitness is needed, particularly in view of the hot, sunny and humid days that we experienced on many days. We booked our trip to coincide with ‘Day of the dead’ celebrations in Oaxaca, which was an amazing experience. Accommodation generally poor, and not to Explore’s normal standards. All in all, a great 3 week trip.
Jagseer M | Traveled in April
This trip gave an overall exposure from rural to city life, from oceans and beaches to jungles. I loved the way this trap itinerary is planned, not a lot of travel time from one place to another and great locations selected. The locations of accommodations were great, very near to everything you want. The CEO was very approachable. I had a great fun and fulfilling experience. Highly recommended!!!
Katrina H | Traveled in January
This tour had an excellent balance between learning about the culture, nature, and partying. I loved how each spot we stayed at had different experience and vibe, and everyday we got to participate in something new.
Alice | Traveled in January
I had an absolute blast on this adventure and would not hesitate to recommend the trip. This was my 6th G Adv tour and I will certainly be back for another one! Anahi was the perfect CEO, our group was so much fun, and I can't believe how much we saw and experienced in a short amount of time. I have made memories that I will never forget.
