The BEST tour in Mérida. Mérida Retirement Tours afforded me the knowledge to make an informed decision about retiring to Mérida. Every aspect of the tour was well planned, my questions answered and the details were amazing.

The actual tour and Amy and Angel’s knowledge of the history, architecture, people, and the pros and cons of various neighborhoods amazed us. We ate lunch at a restored hacienda where we enjoyed authentic Yucatecan cuisine in an absolutely beautiful environment. We ended the day with a tour of a hospital to help familiarize us with how it works to alleviate any anxiety in the case of a future emergency.

We are so fortunate to have discovered Life in Mérida Retirement Tours! Amy and Angel are a wealth of information about Mérida, especially for expats or people considering a move there. They provide clear, concise, and practical information about Mérida neighborhoods, culture, gastronomy, and the sometimes complicated process and qualifications for residency/work/citizenship. Amy has an extremely helpful list of valuable resources, and is always happy to help! Can’t wait to return to Mérida!
Danny Holloman
Amy has referred us to medical/dental personnel, as well as to an insurance contact. Further, she has organized seminars on moving to Merida, with participation by qualified professionals one would need, as well as day trips to exciting destinations in the Yucatan. We highly recommend that anyone interested in moving to, or just visiting, Merida tap into Amy's wealth of knowledge and experience.

What a wealth of knowledge and help Amy and the team at Mérida Retirement Tours are! My husband and I spent several days with Amy and Angel. We got to see, smell, taste and learn all about living and moving to magical Mérida!
Ellie Olliff
Mérida Tours hit all the highlights and beyond of what we had asked to recieve when considering Mérida. Well thought out planning of time spent daily to ensure all our questions were answered and our needs were met. Super professional with the most generous hospitality to make the city a very exciting and vibrant retirement community.
Bill Duerr
Our time with Amy and Angel was enormously beneficial. They have an excellent knowledge of Mérida and went way beyond our expectations in trying to meet our needs. We felt totally supported every step of the way - from meeting us at the airport to arranging a surprise birthday dinner for my husband...they were there for us. By the time we left they felt like trusted friends.
Joy & Kevin
We spent an entire day with Amy and Angel of Mérida Retirement Tours. It was not only extremely pleasurable as Amy and Angel are wonderful and thoughtful hosts, but it was also very informative to assist in our decision to move to Mérida. We visited neighborhoods, shopping, pharmacies and a new and modern hospital. In fact, the one hour tour of the hospital led by a member of the staff was one of the highlights of our retirement tour. It gave us a view of the high level of medical care available to expatriates living in Mexico.
Eric Qualkenbush
Amy Jones and the Mérida Retirement Tours cannot be missed! I wish there were 10 stars as a rating and that's even not enough. Meeting Amy and being lucky enough to learn from her experiences are worth their weight in gold!
Kathy White
Working with Amy and Angel made my visit to Mérida so easy. Amy's guidance made me better prepared for what to expect and how to proceed with considering Mérida as a retirement home. Their tours provided valuable information, practicing Spanish with Angel was hysterically funny and he was so patient and kind.
Terri Abraham
Amy spent the afternoon showing me around Mérida. Her knowledge of history, archeology, anthropology of the area is massive. She showed me neighborhoods I might like and markets to check out. I told her I had wanted to see a cenote while in Mexico but didn't get to. She said, well, let's do that and took me to Costco 😉 There's a cenote in the parking lot! I highly recommend touring Mérida with Amy to get the complete scoop on living there!
Joan Johnson
Amy has been soooo helpful with our move to Mérida. If anyone is considering Mérida, absolutely do the initial consultation with Amy, then schedule any follow up assistance or tours. You won't be sorry you did!
Brian Cottam
I toured with Amy and Angel for a neighborhood tour of Mérida. It was relevant and Amy would pivot based on what I would specifically looking to researched based on my needs. She was very helpful and flexible. I would highly recommend their tours and they will customize based on your specific interests and needs.
Krisanne Heinze
You will not find a better Merida resource than Amy. Her level of professionalism, her vast first-hand knowledge of the city and the time and care she puts into her business and every service she offers results in an experience that is head and shoulders above anything else out there.
Josey Vogels
I wish I could give Amy Jones 10 stars! If you plan to visit or move to Merida, Amy Jones is the best friend you could ever have. She has provided me with the two most important things for my trip: 1) comprehensive insider knowledge to make sure I get the best services and the best deal, and 2) emergency help when something has gone wrong. On this second point, she has jumped in to quickly fix possibly disastrous turns of events. And finally, not the least important, she makes the whole process fun and full of laughs. If you're going to Merida, make Amy Jones your first call!
James Gimian
I’ve been a travel writer for years. I’ve also written a guidebook and read a hundred of them, so I know what works. This guidebook is really, really good, truly helpful, very professional, yet an easy read. The author does not wax poetic (no cliches of “verdant hills” or “screaming sunsets”)—instead, she gets to the point with facts. She knows her town and has done the research. I’m impressed.
