Our tour was led by Lucia, a historian and very personable guide. Her breadth and depth of knowledge is fantastic. Mérida, a former Roman retirement city, founded by Marcus Agrippa is full of important Roman sites. Lucia took us to most of them over the course of the morning. She filled in details and added context. That I would have been unaware of without her. Well worth the time and cost since we came to Merida in order to see the Roman remains. We opted for the additional museum guided tour which she led after a half hour break at the end of the initial tour. It was equally interesting and well-guided. I loved it. We went on our own to see the amazing aqueduct and Casa Mitreo. Fantastic sites but not quite the same without Lucia’s expertise.
The tour captured the view we have of Roman life in Merida. Lucia told an interesting historical story and engaging anecdotes about each of the historical stops
The tour with our excellent local guide, Lucía, covered all the major Roman sites in Mérida. Lucia obviously has a genuine interest in the story she tells. It was a really enjoyable, informative morning.
There is quite a bit of walking so wear comfortable shoes and bring water with a hat/sunscreen. Lucia was an amazing guide- so personable and knowledgeable about her city. It sounds like not many travelers make the extra stop in Mérida which is a shame because it truly is a history lover’s paradise!
Fabulous tour and guide in Merida. You miss so much if without a guide. So much to see. Highly recommended.
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…
This is an excellent tour to obtain an overall Roman Ruins experience. Tour guide was very patience and clear on her Roman history
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.
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.
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.
Lucia was excellent. She is very knowledgable about the history of Mérida and has a delightful personality. Highly recommend
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.
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!
Es una experiencia necesaria pues en este caso nuestra guía nos traslado a la época como vivian y se divertían muy amable y amena la experiencia
No llegamos a hacer el tour por un percance que tuvo la guía y llegó tarde.
Igualmente debo decir que el tour duraba tanto porque era bilingüe .
Creo que se tendría que explicar mejor no poner en español u luego ….seria más honesto.
La experiencia es muy recomendable. No es comparable ir por tu cuenta a contar con una persona que te descubra todos los detalles. La guía, Lucía, muy competente. Además de darnos mucha información por su cuenta, respondió a todas nuestras preguntas, demostrando un gran conocimiento.
Lucía demostró un altísimo conocimiento sobre la Mérida romana y con su simpatía nos hizo pasar una mañana muy agradable y completa. 100% recomendado.
Experiência elucidativa e equilibrada. Apesar do calor feita pela manhã é mais confortável, ainda para mais com crianças.
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!
