AMAZING COFFEE CHOCOLATE EXPERIENCE
HAVE TO DO!!! Samira was amazing!! So knowledgeable on anything and everything coffee. I came out of this experience feeling very educated on coffee and how to make the perfect cup. As well as what coffee I’m more interested in. We tried all four methods and it was fantastic. The chocolate pairing definitely made the experience. We also really enjoyed how she sold local Mayan honey and local pottery as well. 10/10 would recommend this experience to those coffee lovers or those that just like to learn :)
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for joining me in this experience, is a pleasure to share with you.

Authentic and engaging coffee experience
We had an AMAZING experience with Samy. We had previously done her mezcal tasting experience a few years ago and loved how personalized and engaging it was. We learned about specialty coffee tasting and production and tried 4 different coffees, all from an award winning organic Mexican coffee farm. The coffees were paired with delicious local chocolate. There was also multiple coffees beans, chocolates, and mezcal available to purchase after our experience. Samy is such a wonderful educator and we felt like we learned so much and were excited to explore this new passion for coffee further. Thank you Samy!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much Maria, I´m looking forward to welcome you once again soon!

New Outlook on Coffee!
I thought I knew about coffee and chocolate until this event. Sammy educated me on the different types of coffees, processes to prepare them and all the ingredients that made this event so tasty. Especially when you pair it with fine quality cacao treats. I would definitely recommend this palate adventure.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much! I´m glad you enjoyed the coffees and chocolates we shared together.

Mexican Specialty Coffee and Fine Chocolate Tasting: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Merida.
How much does Mexican Specialty Coffee and Fine Chocolate Tasting cost?
+
Prices start at $66 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 Mexican Specialty Coffee and Fine Chocolate Tasting take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Mexican Specialty Coffee and Fine Chocolate Tasting worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 Mexican Specialty Coffee and Fine Chocolate Tasting?
+
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 Mexican Specialty Coffee and Fine Chocolate Tasting suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Mexican Specialty Coffee and Fine Chocolate Tasting?
+
Around 3 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 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Mexican Specialty Coffee and Fine Chocolate Tasting start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Merida within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Merida?
+
On Outty we rank every Merida experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chichen Itza, Private Cenote/Food Experience & the magic Izamal, From Merida: Chichen Itza Tour, Izamal, Cenote Ik Kil and Food, Chichen Itza Full Day Tour. 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.
What is included in Mexican Specialty Coffee and Fine Chocolate Tasting?
+
Included: Tea and coffee. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Mexican Specialty Coffee and Fine Chocolate Tasting?
+
Ring the bell in the gate and I´ll come and get you. Our tasting room is located in a old colonial house in Barrio de Santiago neighborhood in Mérida´s Downtown. Conveniently located and close to many restaurants. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Mexican Specialty Coffee and Fine Chocolate Tasting offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Mexican Specialty Coffee and Fine Chocolate Tasting?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
What happens to Mexican Specialty Coffee and Fine Chocolate Tasting if the weather is bad?
+
It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Merida. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
