Exploring Cozumel - Ricardo was fabulous! Showed up early and explained our day of adventures. He was very informative about the island and culture. I fee like we got a tour of hidden treasures exploring the caves used by the Mayan. We had a great stop to talk about the turtle laying areas and how important these sites are. Ricardo has first hand experience as a volunteer and was able to provide us with more information than just the information boards at the lookout. Our lunch was simple but delicious. The green sauce for the quesadillas was amazing.
Highly recommend this trip off the beaten path.

Highly Personalized and Insightful Cozumel Experience - We had an excellent experience with our guide Jordan! He completely tailored the day to us by giving us the flexibility to spend as much or as little time as we wanted exploring each stop.
Jordan was incredibly knowledgeable and clearly proud of Cozumel. He shared interesting details about the caves, cenotes and culture, and he happily answered all of our questions. He also gave us great recommendations for other things to do during our stay.
The tour itself was beautiful and the Mexican lunch was so good. Highly recommend this tour and Jordan for anyone who wants a personalized way to explore Cozumel.

A day of adventure in Cozumel - We took a wonderful private tour of Cozumel with our guide Katy in a jeep. We were able to see some beautiful views of the beach , then had a tequila education and tasting. Afterwards we drove through the jungle to the sea and hiked up a coral and rock hill for some more beautiful views of the water. We quenched our thirst with a pina colada and a mojito- bouts delicious and crafted from fresh ingredients right on the beach. We then drove a few miles to see ancient caves created ages ago with some Mayan artifacts inside. Our next stop was an authentic Mexican lunch . Everything was delicious and entertaining.

Exeperienc a different side a Cozumel - This tour got us out of the City over to the rustic East side of the Island. A part of Cozumel that we had never seen before. Way more natural beauty on the east side.
The cave tour was very interesting. And we got to experience some local wildlife on the Ranch. We made an unscheduled stop to a Cenote that is not a the normal tourist stop.
Jeep was in good condition with working A/C.
Ricardo was a great, knowledgeable guid.
Got back to the ship in plenty of time before departure.

Unforgettable experience in Cozumel – perfect tour! - The 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.

A incredible adventure with Sergio! - Sergio, 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.

Great Private Tour with Lots to See. Recommend Highly for Cozumel Tour! - Katy 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!

The picture show that... - The picture show that there is water in the caves that you can swim in, but there isn’t they’re dry. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable of the island and knew a lot of history.
