Lucia was amazing! Her knowledge was deep and her love Mérida shone through. She was well-equipped with visual aids to add additional color to her descriptions. We moved comfortably between each of the sites and never felt rushed. The museum add-on was well worth it. It’s. Very large museum and the English is limited and non-existent for the special exhibitions. We highly recommend this tour, and extremely highly recommend Lucia as a tour guide. She fluidly switched back and forth between Spanish and English. She was also very up to date with the current archeology status. There are many active digs on the walk.

I cannot recommend the tour with Lucia highly enough. She was professional, friendly and very knowledgeable and the three hours just flew by. Unforgettable.

It was a very interesting tour with Lucia. Be prepared for quite a bit of walking. If you don’t like boiling hot weather go in the winter.

Lucia was an excellent guide. Very knowledgable and engaging. Very much the highlight of our stay in Merida. Highly recommend her tour…

James_L, May 2026
Our tour with Lucia was absolutely wonderful. She was pleasant, engaging, and incredibly knowledgeable, making the history of Mérida come alive throughout the tour. We were very impressed with how everything was organized and highly recommend her to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience in Mérida.

It is advertised that it was in English, but I didn’t realize it was Spanish and English. Maybe my fault for not looking closely. Still very good but lots of downtown waiting for her to do the Spanish part of the tour. Apparently this is the only Roman tour in Merida offered in English and for that we are grateful!

This is a must do if you come to Merida to see the Roman archeological sites. Lucia, our tour guide, was so knowledgeable about every location and answer all our questions. It would be very difficult to find all of the location that are on the tour without a guide. Lucia had tons of interesting information to share about each site and made the history come alive. She stopped for bathroom breaks and was conscientious about the pace and participants’ need for to stop to a rest. Incredibly enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour to all.
David_R, Feb 2026
A very informative, well prepared your of the major Roman sites in Merida. Lucia was an EXCELLENT guide. She is very knowledgeable about the history of the romans and the history of Merida. She is very friendly and outgoing and made the tour fun. Highly recommended. She was able to show us areas of Merida where one would not normally see if they toured on their own.

One of our best tours in Spain! A professional guide is an absolute must to get the most from this beautiful city. Our guide Lucía was the best, she was able to explain the history to us in English and to two other guests in Spanish without missing a beat.
Mark_S, Jun 2025
Definitely recommend this tour. Lucia was very personable, speaks good English and happy to answer my questions some of which were more general in nature. She is very knowledgeable about Roman history.
Dianne_S, May 2025
Lucia was excellent. She is very knowledgable about the history of Mérida and has a delightful personality. Highly recommend
Mary_D, May 2025
As described, it is a 3 hour walking tour. Our guide Lucia was both personable and knowledgeable. She had clearly done research and provided illustrations of some points to make things more understandable.
Mindy_V, Apr 2025
We had a great tour of Roman ruins in Mérida with our guide, Lucia. She was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and clearly passionate about what she does. Confident and attentive, she made sure we were well taken care of throughout the 3-hour tour, even planning breaks to keep everyone comfortable. Lucia came prepared with additional photos to help us imagine how things were like, which really brought the history to life. She also connected well with the three young adults in our group, keeping them engaged and interested. Highly recommended!
Cristina_F, May 2026
We did not get to do the tour because of a mishap that had the guide and arrived late.
I must also say that the tour lasted so long because it was bilingual.
I think it would have to be explained better not to put in Spanish or then ... would be more honest.

The experience is highly recommended. It is not comparable to go on your own to have a person who discovers all the details. The guide, Lucia, very competent. In addition to giving us a lot of information on his own, he answered all our questions, demonstrating a great knowledge.

Lucia showed a very high knowledge about the Roman Merida and with her sympathy made us spend a very pleasant and complete morning. 100% recommended.

Explanatory and balanced experience. Although the heat made in the morning is more comfortable, even for more with children.

Heel interessante tour in een Romeins openlucht museum, route is goed gekozen. Uitstekende gids, Lucia Te Guia. Zeker doen als je in Merida bent. Ook de gecombineerde toegangspas/ zonder vervaldatum voor alle bezienswaardigheden is aan te bevelen.
Kortom, top excursie!
