Do you love exploring as much as I do? Let me show you around! Hi, my name is Kat- I'm your private tour guide in the Riviera Maya and Yucatan. I specialize in organizing private adventures for families, couples, groups of friends and corporate teams. Whether you are a nature lover, a history enthusiast, or simply seeking a unique adventure, I have a tour for you! Don't see the perfect combination of attractions on the list? Let me customize your adventure for you! Originally from Estonia, I have been temporarily adopted by the USA and then Australia. After having travelled around the US, Europe, Asia and Australia I came to Mexico for a vacation and never left! I fell in love with its breathtaking beaches and cenotes, its rich culture and history and most importantly with its vibrant people. It's been 11 years and I've never looked back. I feel very fortunate to be able to share the colors of Mexico with my guests, and there is so much to see!!! I can take you to the jungle to search for wild monkeys or to plunge into crystal clear waters of cenotes, to explore the mysteries of the Maya civilization and colorful colonial cities, or to snorkel with whale sharks and sea turtles. I will share with you stories of Maya life and Mexican culture, you'll find out how the cenotes were formed and why sea animals are so amazing! I am meticulous about providing the best service while showing you the hidden gems of the Riviera Maya and the Yucatan Peninsula. I am a certified tour guide which means I can accompany you to the archaeological sites (National Institute of Anthropology and History). I have 11 years of experience in guiding snorkeling tours and I will make sure you enjoy your time in the water even if it's your first time snorkeling. I regularly complete Red Cross First Aid courses. I am an amateur diver and free diver (PADI Open Water/ AIDA 2). I am an amateur photographer and I am more than happy to help you with the pictures during our adventure. I look forward to touring with you soon! Cheers, Kat

Overview of your Playa Del Carmen tour
If you prefer off the beaten track adventures, Ek Balam is your choice! This archaeological site remains one of the best-kept secrets of the region, quietly awaiting adventurous souls to uncover its wonders. Prepare to be captivated as I share with you the mysteries of this ancient civilization! We will take a moment to admire the intact entrance to the unique royal tomb. Follow me to the top of the magnificent acropolis, where you will be astonished by the panoramic views of the lush jungle.
Your Playa Del Carmen tour itinerary
- I'll pick you up early to beat the crowds and to avoid the extreme heat; - We'll drive to the archaeological site of Ek Balam (2-2.5 hrs); - We will spend around 2 hours exploring the ancient city; - Drive back to the hotel. This is a half-day tour, which means after returning you still have time to enjoy the beach. Please contact me if you wish to make it a full-day tour by adding a visit to a cenote, lunch or/and a stop in the colonial town of Valladolid for sightseeing and souvenir shopping.
