5.00Our tour was with Rolo. He was very informative about the island of Cozumel; the food, the people, etc. And within a few minutes he felt like an old friend. We had been to Cozumel at least 10 times over the years but he made us love it even more. Great tour!

5.00Really enjoyed this food tour in Cozumel. We were a small group of 4 pax lead by Julio towards the streets of San Miguel de Cozumel. Julio told us many scories about local culture and history. He took us also to eat some specialties in little local restaurants. Very authentic. Great moment , thank you Julio!

5.00We had an amazing time on our Cozumel food tour with Julio! He was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly knows all the best local hot spots. We got to try authentic food we never would’ve found on our own, and every stop was delicious. Julio also shared great insights about the culture and history along the way. This tour was a definite must-do on our vacation and one of the highlights of our trip. Highly recommend!

5.00What an amazing food tour! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Cozumel and brought us to places that we never would have discovered on our own. Definitely don’t eat before the tour as there is so much delicious Mexican food and a surprise desert at the end! Would highly recommend this tour!
