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.

Overview of your Merida tour

Join us on a summer-friendly day tour that begins with the majestic ruins of Uxmal, one of the most beautiful ancient cities of the Maya world. Beat the crowds (and the heat) with an early start, guided by a local expert who brings the site to life with stories, legends, and history. After exploring the temples and palaces of this UNESCO World Heritage Site, we’ll head to a nearby cenote—a natural freshwater sinkhole hidden in the jungle—perfect for a cool, refreshing swim. We’ll also stop for a local lunch at a restaurant for an authentic taste of Yucatán. This tour is designed for summer travelers who want to enjoy the best of Yucatán without the overwhelm. It’s relaxed, personal, and unforgettable.
