The Story Behind the Steps

Meet Your Local Host

Hi, I’m Fernando

For over seven years, I’ve been guiding visitors and sharing the culture of this city I love. To me, a perfect walk in Mérida is completely unhurried—just relaxed, great conversation, and catching the breeze in the shade.

I skip the textbook speeches to give you the real deal: the stories and secrets hiding in plain sight.

By the end, you’ll leave with a warm welcome, my personal checklist of the best Free museums, galleries, and daily cultural events most tourists miss.

Why a Free Tour?

I like to think that history and culture belong to everyone. These walks are just my way of sharing a bit of the hometown I love.

Since it’s a donation-based experience, you are completely free to decide what the tour was worth at the end. Honestly, just seeing you enjoy and fall in love with Mérida is the best part for me!

“Let’s walk, explore, and uncover the magic of Mérida together.”
