He took us to all the major chocolatiers in the city, and the whole experience was really enjoyable, informative, and delicious. I really recommend this wonderful tour!”

Good amount of time and walking off food between stops. 7 stops in total (including 2 drinks) and we were full. Ate some interesting food, met friends and learned about the city. They gave good recommendations for the rest of Merida so begin your trip with this. Improvement - drink stops came pretty much back to back and was the same sweet flavoured water. Could do with only one of these. It got a bit sickly. An optional bar stop at the end…”
