Cabbing and Cruising through Cozumel - Taz was a fantastic guide! He had loads of local information and was mindful of the timeframe we had before we needed to return to our cruise ship. He even thoughtfully provided bottled water after for our time between locations. We fit in tequila tasting which was smooth, organic, and family owned and operated. This was followed by a guided tour of the Mayan Ruins with a local docent who was passionate and knowledgeable about the entire Mayan history. We finished our tour with a snorkeling tour and Taz connected us with a guide who pointed out all the colorful sea life identifying the various species of fish and who patiently helped our group of first timers have an incredible experience. Our time was capped by fresh fish tacos on the beach overlooking the aquamarine waters. 10/10 would call Taz for our next Cozumel adventure!

Anywhere Taz takes us, I'll Go!! - Oh wow is the best description! Our tour guide, Taz, was absolutely fantastic! The tour included so much more, TAZ! He is a wealth of interesting knowledge of this beautiful island. You can tell he truly wants each of the passengers to have their best day ever. The ruins were pure magical and breathtaking! Hacienda Antigua, lol interesting and fun! Ended our day with a delicious lunch and a little laziness on the beach. I highly recommend going ANYWHERE with Taz!!

Great Day in Cozumel Mayan Ruins/lunch & Tequila Tasting - We booked the Mayan Tour/lunch/ and Tequila tasting with Viator for Cozumel. We were pleased with our driver, Gerado who picked us up exactly where we needed to be. He was not JUST a driver but very informative as we rode to the ruins. He introduced us to the owner who introduced us to our guide, Pedro. Pedro was amazing and gave just the 4 of us in our group a private tour, avoiding the crowds and making our day memorable. When I mentioned I loved the Hibiscus, he picked one for me to put in my hair!!!! Lunch was slow but they were very busy and waiter apologized over and over. We were late but they squeezed us into the tequila tasting and still got us back to the ship on time. Would highly recommend this experience.

Mayan ruins tour on New Year’s Eve day - Señor Taz was prompt, kind and informative. He told us a lot about the island. He got us wonderful tour guides at San Gervasio and the tequila tour. Our lunch at the beach was excellent. If you are interested in meeting locals and learning about the culture I would highly recommend this tour.

Love, love, loved this tour! - This was an amazing tour! Our driver, Taz and guide, Pedro were both phenomenal. Both were very knowledgeable and personable. We went to a small beach where we had lunch and our drive purchased guacamole and ceviche for us so we could try it since it wasn’t included. It was a private tour so it was just our family in the van and they made it feel like they were friends showing us around their town. I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone wanting a personable tour of the island without the congestion of other people.

Great excursion! - We had a fantastic time, our guide met us at the port by our cruise ship and made our journey flexible for our family. He was knowledgeable and shared lots of information about the Mayan culture. We skipped out on the tequila portion of the tour since we had small children and were able to have extra beach time which they loved and the adults had a few extra drinks on the beach. The beach area was beautiful with lots to enjoy.

Great Learning experience - Driver Jose and our guide Alfonso were the best!! We had a private tour of of the ruins and of the island. We opted out of the snorkeling so they took us to other places of interest to us. We went to the churches, hospitals, and cemetery. We enjoyed a spice store visit and several memorials and monuments around the island. We learned the history of the island and tasted it as well. Get a private tour!!!!! It is worth the extra pennies for what you get.

Mayan Ruins and Beach - We enjoyed this excursion so much. Paco and Margarita were excellent tour guides and we learned so much. The day also included a visit to a bee sanctuary and some time on a public beach. There was a bar and restaurant near the beach and we sipped a couple of beers and had nachos. The only draw back was the WINDY day. But of course, the tour leaders had no control over that.
