The Perfect Day in Izamal – A Must-Book Experience!

Published on Oct, 2024

I can’t recommend this tour highly enough! Every stop in Izamal was a delight, and our guide, Blanca, along with our driver, Fernando, made the experience truly memorable. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and so much fun to chat with. They went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable (a cozy car stocked with snacks and drinks!) and to help us fully appreciate Izamal and Mayan culture. Be sure to take their lunch recommendations - it was our favorite meal of our entire trip to Yucatan! A real highlight was the jewelry-making workshop with the maestro. We were so grateful for the opportunity to see his craft up close and appreciated how welcoming he was as he shared his expertise and culture with us. Definitely book this experience - it’s one you won’t want to miss!!

Izamal Pueblo Mágico

This Magical Town it's part of Mexican Tales and it's a must to do. Every detail here it's awesome and put you on new point of view.

Unique and memorable fun in a city the visited by Pope John Paul II

Published on Apr, 2024

An interesting mix of activities in a quaint beautiful town. We opted for the ATV tour which was a fun way to travel around town and see the Mayan ruins - which you can still climb, if you dare. As with their other tours, Travelezza partners with talented local artisans to provide a unique immersive experience that we enjoyed. The suggested restaurant was very nice and a great opportunity to try local cuisine (where deer is one of the common proteins on the menu). It was another enjoyable and memorable day on our vacation.

Beautiful and amazing

Magical city of Izamal

Published on Jan, 2024

What a wonderful way to end 2023. Thank you to Luisa and our guide Gabriel for giving us a pleasant and informative introduction to the Yucatan history. Gabriel is kind, professional and extremely knowledgable. Magical city of Izamal is certainly worth a visit. One of the highlights was the lunch at Kinich restaurant. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone visiting Merida
