Fantastic service and a special Pokémon surprise! - Our guide Gerado was outstanding. He made our trip fun and gave us suggestions of activities along with taking us to a special destination for my son—a Pokémon card shop! The shop was closed but Gerardo pulled some strings and my son was thrilled. Thanks for an amazing day!

Aldo our driver was so... - Aldo our driver was so nice and friendly. He gave us a map at the start of the tour and we picked what we wanted to do and a few things not on the map also. He showed us all around the island and we really saw and learned a lot in 4 hours. The tour was in a taxi, not a jeep. This didn’t bother us at all. Aldo was waiting at the pickup area with a sign with my name on it so it was all easy.

Unforgettable Cozumel Day - I decided to let go of control and trust our guide's recommendations, against my family's wishes. Guess who got to say, "I told you so!!" We got off our cruise in Cozumel, and upon pick up, I shared with Taz the little bit of information I had - I wanted to see bees and buy some honey, we wanted to try cocoa, and we wanted to try some authentic Mexican seafood. We weren't interested in beaches - we live in Florida. We wanted to see the culture! Taz delivered! Not only did he take us to some of the neatest little places around, but we were treated like VIP while we were there! Everything was perfect and after the trip was over, my partner and teenage son BOTH agreed that the day I "planned" was the best!!

Private tour for 2 - Our day started with Gerardo picking us up right on time at the cruise port. We had an idea of the places we wanted to see during our 4-hour block, and he quickly pulled out a map to show us the route. Up first the KaoKao Chocolate Factory. What a treat! We paid for the factory tour once at the location $10pp USD. It included tasting all 26 flavors they make on site. The staff were just lovely! Then we were off to the Mayan Ruins. Again, we paid for entry $14pp USD, but not the additional tour guide person they offered. It was so hot we chose to walk the area because we didn’t know how long we would last. Vendors were a bit pushy here, repeating “no thank you” will serve you well here. Up next was the Mayan Bee Sanctuary. My daughter was excited for this place, unfortunately, they only had one tour guide on this day, and they already had a group, so the wait was going to be 30-40 minutes, and they do not let you walk around unsupervised. They have a great shop though (take all my money 😊) Gerardo suggested we head to the beach and maybe get lunch, so off we went! What a super way to end the day. The food was fantastic, but spendy, however, we couldn’t have asked for a better view. The GEM of the day was Gerardo!! The limitless amount of knowledge he shared shows how proud he is of his home. The van had AC on blast. A cooler full of water was a plus. Thank you for this day. We will remember it fondly.

Memorable Experience! - We had such an amazing time with Kor and Taz Miranda our tour guides. They were outstanding and took us everywhere we wanted to go! They answered all of our questions, shared some island history and took photos for us. We had chicken enchiladas for lunch. It was delicious. Kor and Taz deserve recognition for a well thought out and planned tour. The island is awesome, beautiful beaches. Highly recommend Viator! Thank you for such a memorable experience! VT

Cultural highlights - We did a week of scuba and were ready for some history and culture. Nathaliel, our tour guide and driver, was the highlight of the tour with all the greatest facts and information about local culture and history. Loved the Mayan ruins at San Gervasio, but the Otoch and Coconuts bar stops were a little too touristy for us. We enjoyed the sun god ceremony, cochinita pibil tacos, honey and chocolate tastings at Otoch, but felt the tips requested at every activity a little disruptive which is not the fault of the private tour with Nathaliel. They should just include the tips in the price of admission or at the very end as an option so participants aren’t approached with an empty coconut for collections at every turn. Coconuts bar has a view worthy of a visit, but we don’t really drink so the $14 virgin piña colada was unnecessary. Really enjoyed Nathaliel taking us around the island and showing us the turtle nesting spots, crocodiles in the lagoon, and the beaches for locals and talking about the natural beauty of the island they’re trying to preserve for future generations, a battle the locals are slowly losing. The attractions are up to you on this tour so make sure you do your research and let the guide know what you’re most interested in. Overall a great experience.
