5.00Julio is friendly and very knowledgeable of the history of Cozumel. He has a warm personality and took us to wonderful authentic eateries. I would recommend his tour to everyone. While I was waiting at the clock Tower he came from across the way and called my name like we were old friends. Exceptional experience.

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!
