Hello! My name is Cristina, but most people call me Kitty. I was born and raised in Mérida, Yucatán, and I’ve been working as a professional tour guide for almost a decade — including 8 years of experience guiding with ToursByLocals. Guiding is not just my job; it’s something I genuinely love. Over the years, I’ve explored Yucatán deeply and from many angles, which allows each experience to be thoughtful, well-researched, flexible, and adapted to you and your interests. I work with small groups and private travelers, and I’m always happy to adjust the pace, focus, or structure of a tour depending on your interests. Many of my tours offer options within the itinerary, allowing you to choose how the day unfolds. I hold a National Tour Guide License issued by Mexico’s Ministry of Tourism (SECTUR), and I have a Bachelor’s degree in Arts with a specialization in Music from the Yucatán State Arts University. Throughout my career, I’ve also participated in cultural and community-based projects and volunteer work, which have helped me gain a deeper, more grounded understanding of local life and perspectives. This background allows me to share history and culture in a way that feels natural, engaging, and easy to connect with, always keeping the experience clear, balanced, and enjoyable for travelers. My vehicle is fully insured for travelers, and I can also assist with custom itineraries, special interests, and larger groups when needed. Please feel free to explore the tours I’ve carefully designed, and don’t hesitate to message me if you’re looking for something more personalized — I’ll be happy to help you create the experience that fits you best.

    Kitty was great! She customized the tour to include exactly what we wanted and added places we had not thought of. She was on-time, very knowledgeable and well organized. Her choice for lunch was also fantastic. We recommend her highly. She is also great at organizing trips to sites outside of Merida, including local historic and archaeological sites.

    Great tour! Cristina was very knowledgeable about the historic sites and the history of the area. She was personable and actually sat down at the table with us at lunch to chat. Most tour guides leave the clients on their own at lunch, but it was great to learn more about her as a person. This helps us learn more about the culture and people of the area as well. Highly...

    Cristina is a very knowledgable and interesting tour guide. She also took us to her favorite childhood seafood restaurant at the nearby beach - delicious and beautiful seaside experience!

    Cristina is a wonderful guide, full of knowledge about the local area and Mayan history. Uxmal is truly astounding and relatively peaceful compared to other sites such as Chichen Itza.
