Tour guide in Merida Daniel L.

Hello! My name is Daniel Canul Li, and I truly appreciate you taking the time to read a little bit about me. I’m 100% yucateco, born and raised right here. As a fourth generation Korean-Yucatecan, direct descendant of those who arrived to work in the henequen haciendas, my roots in this land run deep. I’m also a passionate collector of banknotes, hacienda tokens and historical documents from Yucatán. This hobby has given me a unique connection to the stories, people and historical moments that shaped the region. I’ve been a Federally Certified Guide since 2017, just as the law requires. Before guiding, I worked as a History teacher for primary and secondary students, an experience that taught me how to make the past engaging, relatable and enjoyable. My tours are all about showing you the Yucatán as we locals truly experience it, not the rehearsed routes or the overcrowded stops, and definitely nothing that feels mass-produced. I focus on the real, the meaningful, the unexpected, those small moments that stay with you long after the trip is over. Safety, good conversations, and genuine human connection are always part of my journeys. Making sure you feel comfortable and secure is essential to truly enjoying our time together. We can craft an experience that goes far beyond the tour itself, something worth remembering long after the day is over. I’d be truly honored to share my home, my culture and my stories with you. If you’re looking for an experience that feels personal, authentic, safe and created especially for you, I’d love to be your guide. Whenever you’re ready, I’m here to help you plan a trip you’ll never forget. I hope to meet you soon — let’s explore Yucatán together!
