Unforgettable experience in Cozumel – perfect tour!

5.00The private cave and ruin exploration tour in Cozumel was simply perfect. There wasn’t a single moment of boredom—everything was beautifully organized, interesting and full of amazing experiences. Our guide John was certainly one of the best guides I’ve ever had: in addition to sharing a lot of fascinating information about the local history and culture, he made the tour even more special singing for us, and the truth does very well. The Mexican lunch was also delicious and completed a truly unforgettable experience. You can tell when someone works with passion and wants visitors to take unique memories. I wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cozumel — it’s totally worth it and I would repeat without thinking.

5.00Sergio, our incredible guide, took us on an unforgettable adventure across Cozumel. We wandered through mystical Mayan ruins, explored hidden caves deep in the lush jungle, and savored a delicious lunch on a breathtaking, picture-perfect beach. The scenery was absolutely stunning, and the food was authentic—just the way it should be. Sergio’s knowledge was impressive; he answered every question with ease and brought history to life with captivating stories that made the experience truly magical.

5.00Katy was a great tour guide making sure that we were comfortable driving and what to expect. The stops to visit the different cave locations were awesome and included background into the different sites, local experience and Mayan history/culture. The lunch location worked out great with the ability to walk along the beach area, take pictures and visit shops for gifts as needed. For families with both younger and older kids joining, this is the perfect tour and recommend Katy highly if get lucky enough to have her as a tour guide for the visit!
Perfect four

A Beautiful and Peaceful Side of the Island

5.00This tour was absolutely amazing. I was on holiday with my elderly mother, who is still quite active but has knee issues that make long hikes difficult. Ricardo was incredibly patient, thoughtful, and kind throughout the entire experience. He made sure my mom was always comfortable while giving us plenty of time to truly take in the stunning nature and wildlife around us. Ricardo is also extremely knowledgeable. He shared fascinating history and was happy to answer our questions about the plants, ocean, and local wildlife, which made the experience even more special. We saw so many beautiful things that we never would have experienced if we had stayed at the resort or skipped booking this tour. I highly recommend this tour if you want to see a peaceful, beautiful, and more authentic side of the island.
Full day of fun

5.00We have been to Cozumel many times and wanted to try something new. Fernando was our guide, and he met us on time at the meeting location. He did offer me to drive, but was fine with him driving. We have done tequilla tasting, and Fernando offered to take us to Chocolate tasting and we paid 5 dollars per person to the place he took us. After that we saw bee and honey signs so we asked him to stop. We learned about the stingerless bee. We made a short photo stop at a beach shared below. After that we went to the private ranch where the caves were. Fernando shared what he believed the caves were used for. We then stopped for an authentic beach lunch and drinks that was included. Don’t forget to tip your server. We were offered snorkeling if we wanted, but be have snorkeled here before and the weather was moving in. Fernando then dropped us off and we did some shopping. We would do this again, and we truly believe that Fernando made the experience better.
Impressive tour

5.00Fernando, a young, local family man told us a lot about life on Cozumel and showed us wonderful places. It started with a tequilla tasting at a small and very sympathetic family business, then we continued to the east of the island to the wonderful beaches where we could also observe crocodiles. The highlight was the caves of the Mayans where he could really tell us a lot about their lives. The whole thing was in a private area in the jungle where we were also far from other mass tourists. Fernando himself has a lot of interest and therefore a lot of knowledge of this ancient culture. Last but not least, we were still eating tacos and fajita where we could talk nicely and exchange experiences. Overall, a very successful day we would book again at any time.
Perfect experience thanks to Sergio!!

5.00We booked at the last minute, the night before because it indexed due to unstable forecasts. In the end, through GetYourGuide we found the right choice for us! We were contacted immediately by Kevin, the agency's coordinator, to give us details about the following day. In the morning we were greeted by our guide and driver, Sergio, who made this experience special and unforgettable! Thanks to his professionalism and passion he made us live a day that exceeded expectations. Sergio and his knowledge of the Mayan world made us relive that historical period! In addition, he took us to eat at a local seaside, commercial but really great (tacos and burritos were delicious). Highly recommended tour! Francesco Catturani
