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.

On June 16th 2025, Our family recently had the immense pleasure of experiencing the Private Cobá and Monkey Sanctuary Tour, and it was truly an unforgettable highlight of our trip! From start to finish, Rosalia, was an absolute gem, transforming what could have been a standard tour into a perfectly tailored and wonderful adventure. Rosalia effortlessly customized our experience. With two younger children in tow, her flexibility was a lifesaver ensuring our little ones remained engaged and happy throughout. This level of personalized care made all the difference and allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the beauty and history of the region without any stress. Rosalia’s, warmth, and genuine desire to ensure our family had the best possible time were evident every step of the way. She is an exceptional guide who goes above and beyond.

Our family of four loved seeing Coba and Punta Laguna with Rosalia! Coba was beautiful and there was hardly any crowds in the morning. Rosalia was so knowledgeable about the area. We saw spider monkeys and howler monkeys and we got to go zip lining over the most beautiful lake! The best part was making/eating a meal with a local Mayan family. It was all incredibly lovely and a day we will never forget. Thank you Rosalia, our trip to Mexico was made especially special because of you!

Amazing tour. Rosalia was very knowledgeable, experienced, friendly and made us all feel at ease (along with our 4 teenaged kids). It's worth the 7am start time. We were one of the first groups to arrive at Coba, and the ONLY group at the cenote (which was the highlight for the kids, complete with bats). Lunch with Lucy and her family was delicious, and authentic (my highlight). The Monkey tour was excellent, we saw no fewer than 20 spider monkeys. Zip line and canoe fun and safe. Absolutely worth the $

Amazing guide and great tour! Rosalia was by far the best guide we had in Mexico. Very knowledgable, great English and was thoughtful enough to bring drinks and cold towels for us. A nice touch!

Had a blast. Was great to get to Coba ahead of the crouds. I actually have a picture with no one on the pyramid. It was great discussing the history with Rosalia and walking to our own pace instead of with a large group. My kids loved her and we all had a great time.

Rosalia was an excellent guide who took a lot of time explain everything we were seeing and was very patient with the kids...even going in and out of the Cenote TWICE so that my daughter was able to experience it. My kids all agreed that our day with Rosalia was the best day of our trip!
