Fantastic tour to introduce Merida - Fantastic tour with Gabriela! We learnt so much, her insight into history and art was so fascinating. We could have spent hours with her! In particular we loved the walkthrough of the Palacio artworks of Pacheco.

The tour started on time... - The tour started on time and there were not too many people in the group. The guide, Louis, was very knowledgeable and was easy to understand as he spoke to the group. His choice of topics was interesting--varying from historical to contemporary, from religion to politics. The pacing was good. There were plenty of opportunities for questions from the group.
