Since I can remember, I have been traveling around my country, México, and I've developed a big love and pride for this beautiful place! My Mom is from Mexico City and my first 25 years I spent them there, but my Dad is from the south east of Mexico, the Yucatan Peninsula. All my childhood we used to travel there and visit my grandma and the rest of the family. I remember we tryed to trvel each vacations we could, easter, summer, Christmas and new year and alway traveling by car, so we were visiting a lot beautiful places and diferent landscapes on the way. Now I want to share my joy with you and be your host and guide during your visit. It's very important for me to help visitors experience México the way a local would.

Overview of your Cancun tour

Ek Balam is a recently discovered archaeological zone, that not a lot of people visit and know about, however I do! So we can enjoy this place with almost no crowds at all. In the main temple, "The Acropolis", a tumb was found and we'll be able to admire an spectacularly decorated entrance, let me show you and explain to you the details about this majestic work, I will also climb the temple with you to tell you all about this decoration. It is an small place, but you won't regret to visit it because there is a lot of interesting information about its king and his tumb. And if you are looking for a good real local lunch, the best smoked meat is prepared near Ek Balam in a town called Temozón, I want you to taste it because there is no place in Cancun where you will find something like this!

This tour with Rosalia and her driver was fantastic. She is very knowledgeable and was able to really share some amazing history. It was also so nice having our family in a van and not dealing with the large tour bus and the crowds that go along with being in a bus. Being able to climb the stairs and the restoration to the temple was a big highlight!! We also really enjoyed swimming in the Cenotes and an authentic lunch in a small town. I highly recommend this tour and Rosalia!! Eric

This was really fun! Rosalia is an excellent guide. She gave us an informative tour of Ek Balam. She got us there early to avoid the heat and/or crowds. We had an exhilarating dip in a beautiful cenote., nearby. Then we enjoyed a tasty lunch at a restaurant that was NOT a tourist trap. I highly recommend this tour with Rosalia.

Rosalia was a wonderful tour guide and I would recommend her one hundred percent! ! She has a wonderful way of reading people and customizing the tour to their wants and needs. Her knowledge of history and culture cannot be beat, we learned so much! Thank you, Rosalia, for showing these girls a piece of Mayan history and Mexican culture. We hope to meet you again sometime!!

Can't tell you how much we enjoyed our tour guide Rosalia and our trip to Ek Balaam. It was just what we needed since we are older travelers and have mobility issues. She was terrific and explained the history and significance of the site, and being flexible with our need to sometimes move sloooowly. Thank you Rosalia - we hope we can take another of your tours soon!!!

Rosalia helped us plan the perfect tour for our family (2 adults, 3 boys (16, 15, 11). She was wonderful as a history guide as well. Mayan Temples, Bike ride, sink hole swim, and amazing local lunch. We will definitely try to book her again.

Our guide was on time very courteous and knowledgeable. She listened and respected our wishes and was very patient. The driver was outstanding. My husband wants her to lead our next tour to Chichenitza!!! We've used tours by locals in Europe and we have been very happy with our tour guides!!!
