Great class and I learned a lot!

Take home a personal souvenir.
It was a great learning experience. I had very little embroidery knowledge or spoke Spanish. We used a translation app with no problem. Learned history and culture as well. Left with all the supplies to finish my project at home.

A relaxing afternoon of handicrafts
Had a wonderful time with Maya learning this style of Otomi embroidery. She's an excellent instructor and a delight to chat with. I highly recommend

This class was so much...
This class was so much fun! She had all of the preparations ready for you and made you feel so welcomed! She was able to show more advanced techniques and still explain it on a basic level. I would highly recommend taking this class for a relaxing time of learning!

Merida: Mexican Embroidery Workshop: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Merida.
How much does Merida: Mexican Embroidery Workshop cost?
+
Prices start at $52 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Merida usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Merida: Mexican Embroidery Workshop take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Merida is not rushed.
Is Merida: Mexican Embroidery Workshop worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 33 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Merida, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Merida: Mexican Embroidery Workshop?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Merida: Mexican Embroidery Workshop suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Merida: Mexican Embroidery Workshop?
+
Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Merida can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Merida and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Merida: Mexican Embroidery Workshop start and how do I get there?

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Merida?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Merida?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
