Tasty Food & Great Tour Guide - This tour was incredible! Being driven around the neighborhoods of Cozumel and eating at small mom and pop run restaurants really immersed us in the life in Cozumel. Our tour guide Erin was so knowledgeable about the food, preparation, life, and all things Cozumel. She was a delight to talk to about everything and my husband and I loved trying food and drinks at all of the stops. I can't emphasize enough how great this tour was and how happy I was to find this, instead of booking an excursion through our cruise ship. I can't wait to visit Cozumel again. Thank you, Cozumel Chef Food Tours for your service! :)

Book this! Your stomach will thank you. - We had an absolute blast on the Cozumel Food Tour! This tour was the perfect break from the heat and packed with delicious surprises at every stop. Our guide was welcoming, knowledgeable, and took us to hidden gems that we'd never have found on our own. The trip to a local market was my favorite. Hands down, one of our best excursions—come hungry, leave happy!

Unforgettable - An unforgettable and brilliant afternoon. A trip to the local market to learn about the fruits, herbs, spices and products we don't normally see. Then a short taxi to Jeronimo's casa where we helped prepare 10-14 of the freshest Mexican courses. With ultra fresh ingredients. Spicy. Mild. Meat. Fish. Veg. Whatever you want. Wonderful. All with Jeronimo's daytime TV cook style of passion and cooking. From tortillas to guacamole and ceviche. A Mexican style bouillabaisse to beans. With fish speared the previous day. Special. Then a cheeky lunchtime margarita and great other guests. Three and a half hours just flew. If you aren't diving or need a day off. Or are post ironman. Do this.

We had a wonderful time.... - We had a wonderful time. It ended up just being myself and my husband in the tour. We received a great personal tour. Went to 5 great spots and had some great authentic Mexican food. We each received plates and I was so full at the end. Great experience!

Book this for sure!! - We booked this last minute when our cruise itinerary changed. We met our tour guide, Gerry, at the Mega mart (he actually approached us) and he let us know our tour would just be our family that day. What a treat this was! We went to 6 different places: 4 local restaurants, a market which was fascinating, and ended with sweets at a bakery! I can’t rave about this tour enough, Gerry was the best tour guide, and so great with our kids! our driver Jose was excellent and the locals who owned the establishments we visited were welcoming and kind. You wouldn’t get to see any of this wandering on your own, this is a true authentic experience. We tried tacos, fresh fruit juices, horchata water, sopa Lima, seafood, sweets and fresh tortillas from a street market. By the end we were stuffed and we haven’t stopped talking about this tour since. Book this for sure, it’s a highlight of our vacation.
