- Mi Mexico Lindo Tequila Tour - A Cozumel trip would not be complete without tequila – that liquor from the agave, sacred to the Aztecs, has a rich history in Mexico. The blue agave’s tequila is still sacred to Mexicans and tourists alike – and should not be missed. In an open-air building sit rows and rows of tequila bottles. The tour is interesting and you will love the tastings, and children Will have honey-based drinks from melipona bees which is an endemic species of Yucatan that has no stinger.
- San Gervasio Mayan Archaeological Site - As of today, these Mayan ruins are the #1 archaeological site in Cozumel. As of today San Gervasio is the most important mayan site in the island. San Gervasio was a sacred mayan site dedicated to the goddess Ixchel (goddess of fertility) plus a estrategic site for commerce and politics in the area. You can become part of the mayan culture and its mysteries.
- El Mirador - See the east side of the island and take photos of the beautiful nature.
- Playa Palancar Cozumel Beach Club - Nice beach away from the big crowds, This is a nice beach with a good bar and snacks to help make your day near the ocean fun and enjoyable! The dive/snorkel shop and your driver can arrange snorkeling from shore or by boat. Chill out on the loungers with a cool Margarita and some ceviche and enjoy the beautiful turquoise water!

Great tour! - This tour was fantastic for our family! The air-conditioned van was a must. We loved the chocolate tasting and exploring Cozumel. Our guide, Luis, was friendly, helpful, and made great recommendations. He didn't rush us and his cooler of water was perfect for the hot day. I highly recommend this tour.

Viator Dishonest - When I booked with Viator, I specified that the three of us wanted a five hour tour which concentrated on Mayan archeology and culture.
Basically what Viator gave us for a significant price was a taxi driver with limited knowledge. We were never told that our “guide” would not be permitted to enter the Mayan archeological park. He could only drop us off on the outside and wait for us to exit.
For just over 1/10 of what out Viator “tour” cost us, we hired a superbly knowledgeable and personable guide on the inside of the archeological park. His name was Erick Martinez (cellphone +52 987 141 1202). He was everything we wanted. We negotiated the tour price with him personally and we ended up giving him a 50% tip. That’s how good he was.
We ended up spending two hours with Erick within the archeological site. He gave us an incredible wealth of information about the Mayan origins within the Olmec civilization - out of which both the Aztec and Mayan civilizations emerged. Religion, culture, and language for both the Aztecs and the Mayans came out of the Olmec and reflected similarities. He also explained that his parents and he are Mestizos (mixed race) - but his mother is much more Mayan and speaks the Mayan language fluently, whereas his father is more Spanish and does not speak Mayan.
Viator should hire Erick directly. People could hire a taxi to take them to the archeological park, wait for them while they tour with Erick and then take them back to the ship.
We ended up getting what we originally wanted, but not because of Viator or through them. All we got from Viator was an expensive taxi back and forth from the ship to the archeological site.
Our Viator supplied driver was personable and pleasant. He had cold drinks for us and snacks. Not his fault that he couldn’t give us what we wanted - because of his lack of knowledge and because Mexican law would not permit him to enter the archeological park.
What we were most unhappy about was the failure by Viator to explain the reality of what they were offering. Their booking was deceptive and dishonest.
