This was a wonderful afternoon for my wife and I. The drinks were cold, the food was delicous, and the young lady who was our tour guide was wonderful. We learned a lot about the local "snacks" and found some fun Cantinas with great atmosphere.

My wife and I had a great experience bar hopping with our guide, Zulma. She was extremely knowledgeable about the places we went and the city of Merida and made us feel at home. The cantinas we visited give you so much food with the drinks that it felt like more of a combination food tour and bar tour! Highly recommended to experience some local Yucatecan culture with a few drinks!

We had a great experience on the beer tour with Adventures Mexico! Laura, our guide, was outstanding—knowledgeable, engaging, and full of enthusiasm. She shared fascinating insights about the history and culture while keeping the atmosphere fun and relaxed. The selection of cantinas and beers was excellent, offering a perfect balance of flavors and styles to explore.
This tour is not just about tasting great beer; it’s also a cultural journey that showcases the vibrant traditions of Mérida. I highly recommend Adventures Mexico and especially Laura for an unforgettable and enriching experience. Cheers!
¡Tuve una experiencia increíble en el tour de cerveza con Adventures Mexico! Laura, nuestra guía, fue excepcional: conocedora, carismática y llena de entusiasmo. La selección de cantinas y cervezas fue excelente, ofreciendo un equilibrio perfecto de sabores y estilos para explorar.
Este tour no es solo para degustar excelentes cervezas, sino también las vibrantes tradiciones de Mérida. Recomiendo muchísimo Adventures Mexico, y en especial a Laura, para una experiencia inolvidable y enriquecedora. ¡Salud!

This was an excellent way to get an introduction to the cantinas in Merida. We very much enjoyed the food and the company of our knowledgeable and friendly guide!
Alexander_M, Mar 2022
Very authentic experience. They showed us local cantinas that I don't think we would have found on our own. Much more fun to drink with the locals! The bar snacks are very generous so don't eat lunch beforehand.

This tour was very informative and also got to taste some good beer and snacks. Ruben and the photographer Pepe were great and we had a super time. I would recommend this tour to everyone as it is a good introduction to Merida in an informal and tasty fashion. The three cantinas that we went to were all different and it was fun to enjoy the differences.

The cantinas walking tour was lots of fun and informative. We tasted delicious beer and mescal made in Mexico.
