WHich Carnival Merida Tour??

[LCW]

We are looking at either the Merida City &Shopping tour or the Merida/buffet/Horse show tour.

 

Want to know if the later lets you get off the bus and see the sites (esp the Catholic church) or if it's just a drive by on the way to the buffet.

 

Any details on either tour would be appreciated.

I can only speake on Merida, on your own. No tour needed. THREE DOLLARS round trip. Keep reading this board and also checkout http://www.yucatantoday.com

Need a tour, not a local bus. We're going with 2 78-yr olds with mobility issues.

 

Pls, people who have taken these specific tours, can you provide details?

If you are intent on taking an organized tour check out AutoProgreso. Same buses and tours as the ship offers at much better prices.

Sorry. I'm only a 71 yr old solo traveler who came home the first of Sep from a cruise to Progreso to find a letter telling me my 3 yr old artificial hip has been recalled. Go figure!

 

I led two families of home-schoolers (10 total) to the bus and showed them some of the sites of Merida. Those folks made my day.

 

That cruise was three weeks after a stroke BUT I WILL NOT slow down. Next cruise in three weeks.

 

Don't forget to buy Mexican vanilla while in Mexico. Delish!

Hdawson, no offense meant to you, but my parents are simply not willing to chance a trip into Merida without an organized tour, esp. considering their myriad health issues. A private driver/tour might be acceptable instead of a ship tour, but even that would be a hard sell.

 

So, back to the original question - anybody have info on these 2 specific tours?
