Private Tour of Merida - Lia was a terrific tour guide. She not only knows the history and sights of Merida, but she knows all the ins and outs of the local hot spots. She’s enormously agreeable and knowledge! We highly recommend her!

Great tour in a beautiful area. - Lia gave an amazing tour. Very knowledgeable about local history and the art work in the city. The market area is very interesting, she was very understanding of our lack of tolerance to the heat and provided many water breaks and chances to cool off in AC.

Walking tour of Merida - We had a very good walking tour of Merida visiting all the main sights of the city. Gustavo, our guide, arrived a little late to pick us up but was very helpful.

The tour guide didn’t show up - My experience with Lokafy was the worst ever. They didn’t organized my tour at all. My tour was scheduled for 1/1. The night before Valeria told me that everything will be closed. I aaked what she is planning to show me, she said parks. 3 hours for parks is kind of not what I had in mind. I asked to reschedule but they were not flexible at all and mean. I agreed to meet on 1/1. She didn’t even show up.
