“Was a great experience both that all guides are amazing, I was a bit worried about the village tour as we’ve been on similar in Dominica but this is nothing like this. The family and children are happy to see you. And you get the opportunity to buy them bags of food and give them to them direct which was lovely. The buggies were great fun and the cave skin was amazing we was travelling as a family highly recommend”

“This was such an amazing adventure! Our guide Fernando is phenomenal; very kind, funny & extremely knowledgeable. He taught my husband how to drive the buggy in a matter of moments. In addition, he shared lots of local history with us and told us all about the cenote. Truly, he is excellent at his job! We plan to go back next year. He speaks English, Spanish, French, some Portuguese & German, so you will feel very welcome. 10/10 recommend! As others have noted, you should absolutely bring a bandana to cover your face because the ride is extremely dusty. Finally, our driver Ricardo was very kind and sweet. He speaks…”

“Our guide Victor was the perfect host for a wonderful day touring Cozumel. A quick 45 minute ferry from Playa del Carmen offered a great day trip that did not disappoint. A great mix of Mayan history, tequila tasting, exploring the coast with a stop at a local beachfront taco stand for the absolute best fish tacos I've ever had, and snorkeling in the crystal clear waters where we saw so many beautiful fish and even a stingray! Victor seems to know everyone on the island, including the other tour guides who all mentioned he was the best of the best and we agree. What a day!”

“It was our first time in Mexico. We came by cruise ship and I was hesitant to book an independent excursion not knowing if we could make it back to the ship on time. But our guide, Elias, was fantastic! He was prompt so we started our tour on time with plenty of time for snorkelling and swimming and getting back to the ship for departure. Elias was professional and accomodating. We needed to pick up some essentials before going back to the shp and he gladly took us to where we could purchase these. The tour started with a visit to a cenote where we saw a lone crocodile…”

Review of Cozumel’s five-hour buggy, snorkeling, Maya culture, tequila tasting, and fajita tour, with practical advice on value and vehicle concerns.

“We booked the tour online. The tour operator office does not exist, we called them and were picked up at a random spot in the street. The company delivered a buggy and a Mustang car but both sets of customers had asked for a buggy. Myself and another couple complained and the manager arrived saying they only have the two cars (buggy and Mustang). We went to inspect the cars. The tyres were bald, rubber parts were hanging off the car, the interior of the cars were damaged. We asked for a refund, we were told to call viator but then the tour guide drove off. We signed no documents…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 121 reviews · 4 hours (approx.)

Review of Cozumel in Buggy with Beach Time, a private four-hour island tour with monuments, tequila tasting, and beach club access.

“We pulled up to the port of Cozumel with the virgin voyages cruise. The original excursion we booked through the cruise got canceled due to the weather so we didn’t have anything else to do. The booking kiosk was located downstairs right as you get off the elevator. I believe it said Carlos and Charlie (I don’t remember, it was 8 AM). The man at the booth was very charismatic and knowledgeable. He gave us a map and marked out all the stops the tour would take. There was a jeep tour, ATV ride, a visit to the Chula’s beach club, tequila tasting, etc. We went with the ATV cenote…”

Off across the island a drive down a gorgeous beach to a stand called Welcome to Miami for the best mojito. We don’t snorkel but had plenty to do!”
